Cofense combines phishing-specific AI, expert insight, and automation to uncover unknown threats, neutralize active attacks, and reduce future risk.

Our expert-supervised AI, combined with real-time intelligence from more than 35 million trained users, detects advanced phishing attacks that other solutions miss and remediates them within minutes. Cofense delivers high-confidence alerts that reduce false positives, identify false negatives, and improve security team efficiency. Real-world simulations continuously train employees to recognize and report threats that technology cannot catch. Together, these capabilities strengthen existing email defenses by closing gaps in phishing detection and response.

Essential Duties/Responsibilities

• Build and own a territory plan, including named account targets and partner coverage
• Self-source pipeline through outbound, social, events, and partner relationships. We expect a real majority of your pipeline to be self-generated
• Run discovery, coordinate technical evaluations with sales engineering, and close deals in the five-to-low-six-figure range
• Build a public presence in the security buyer community: consistent LinkedIn presence, engagement with CISO and security awareness communities, showing up where practitioners are
• Work with regional partners (Optiv, GuidePoint, and others) to source and co-sell
• Keep Salesforce clean. Our stage gates are evidence-based, not optimistic. Every deal in pipeline has documented next steps, an identified economic buyer, and a real close date

Knowledge, Skills and Abilities Required

• Enterprise Sales experience in external sales of information security services or products
• Hands-on experience in providing information security services
• Documented outbound results. Come ready to talk about meetings booked, pipeline sourced, and how much of it closed
• Demonstrated ability to build an audience. An active LinkedIn presence, a newsletter, a community, a podcast, or anything else showing you can create demand rather than just work a list
• Genuinely tech savvy. You adopt new tools fast, you can hold your own in a conversation about email security and the threat landscape, and you can run your own demo environment

First 12 Months

• 90 days: territory plan approved, product certified, first self-sourced pipeline in
• 6 months: consistent pipeline generation at coverage target, first closed-won deal
• 12 months: at or above quota, on track for a larger territory or enterprise segment

Education and/or Experience

• Bachelor’s Degree preferred or equivalent experience
• Cybersecurity or infrastructure software experience
• Experience selling with or through channel partners
• Prior exposure to security awareness training or email security buyers
