• Lead complex, consultative sales cycles. You'll articulate how AI-driven defense changes the economics and effectiveness of their security programs.
• Collaborate with our technical team to deliver compelling proofs-of-concept and technical evaluations. You'll navigate technical objections, competitive positioning, and architecture discussions alongside our founders.
• Drive accurate forecasting and maintain rigorous pipeline hygiene in HubSpot. You'll own the forecast and build the discipline that scales with future hires.
• Represent Artemis at key industry events.

• Document and refine our sales methodology to enable future team growth.
