About the Role

We are looking for a high-performance Sales / Client Acquisition Lead to help scale our service offerings between audit and engineering services. This is a results-driven role: hitting revenue, expanding footprint, and owning the client pipeline end-to-end. You’ll be the go-to person for bridging technical trust and business value.

What your primary responsibilities will be:

• Full-cycle sales ownership: Lead sourcing and qualification all the way through to proposal, contract negotiation, and closing, with collaboration with the technical team along the way.
• Technical consultative selling: Deeply understand our security and engineering methodology, map capabilities to client pain points and more.
• Sales & revenue targets: Be accountable for quarterly and annual quotas; consistently meet or exceed them. You’ll report pipeline, forecast, and actuals.
• Account expansion / upsell: Once clients are onboarded, identify additional services and upsell opportunities (ex. follow-up work, coverage, continuous monitoring).
• Industry positioning & thought leadership: Contribute to talks, presence at industry events, and client education materials.
• CRM & process discipline: Maintain an accurate, up-to-date pipeline in CRM.
• Market & competitor intelligence: Track trends, emerging security needs, competitor offerings, and feed those into product/service evolution and positioning.

What we look for in a successful Sales / Client Acquisition Lead:

• • Proven track record in closing deals: You’ve closed many 5-6 figure or meaningful deals, not “just leads” in tech/security/SaaS/consulting/blockchain environment.
  • Technical fluency in Web3 / security / smart contracts / protocols: You are technical enough to discuss questions with clients and ask the right questions (while being supported by our technical team!)
  • Excellent communicator and presenter: You are capable of building credibility with important stakeholders.
  • You are a self-starter, driven, highly organized, and comfortable in a fast-moving environment.
  • You have experience with CRMs, sales metrics, pipeline management, and forecasting.
  • Having a network or familiarity with the blockchain, protocol and/or DeFi community is a strong plus.
  • A willingness to get into the weeds! (cold outreach, testing messaging, iterating quickly).

Some of our benefits include:

• A unique, caring and friendly culture (learn more about how we work here)
• 25 days (5 weeks) of paid vacation annually, plus 3 Spiritual Days
• Company closure from December 25th to January 1
• Annual Lifestyle benefits (reimbursements for gym memberships, fitness equipment, etc)
• A remote-first, flexible work environment
• A home-office stipend to set you up for success
• Annual company retreats
• Paid parental leave
• ….. and many more!
