About Escape

Escape is on a mission to reinvent how we protect our applications with our AI-powered DAST (Dynamic Application Security Testing) platform.

We've secured 100+ enterprise customers, are growing 15%+ MoM, and just closed an €18M Series A led by Balderton Capital and Uncorrelated Ventures, with continued backing from Y Combinator, Iris Capital and Frst Capital.

We operate with a US go-to-market playbook (sales-led, complex sales and multi-threading fast iteration cycles, aggressive growth targets) combined with deep European engineering DNA.

We believe it’s time to bring more AI-driven innovation to the cybersecurity field. We’d love your help in building this dream.

Job Summary:

We're looking for an Enterprise Account Executive with experience in Enterprise B2B SaaS sales (ACVs of $100k–$500k) to join our growing sales team. You will play a critical role in our growth by owning the full sales cycle from pipeline generation to close. You'll work closely with technical buyers and cybersecurity stakeholders, so a strong grasp of technical sales or a willingness to dive deep is key.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Own and manage the complete sales cycle from prospecting to closing.
    Target a defined account list within your territory and build a strong pipeline.
  • Engage in active qualification and disqualification to focus on high-potential opportunities.
  • Drive deals autonomously while collaborating with internal stakeholders including marketing, sales engineering, and leadership.
  • Tailor solutions and pitches to address complex technical challenges in a Modern tech stack (Front-ends, API, SPAs and micro services)
  • Adapt quickly to changing processes, products, and customer needs in a fast-paced environment.
  • Maintain a professional and consultative approach at all times.

Qualifications:

  • 3+ years of experience in Enterprise B2B SaaS sales, with proven results on $100k–$500k ACV deals.
  • Experience in technical sales or cybersecurity is a strong plus.
  • Demonstrated ability to prospect, qualify, and close your own deals.
  • Proficient in territory planning and account targeting.
  • You’re autonomous, proactive, and take full ownership—but you’re also coachable and value feedback.
  • Strong communication skills, with a professional, credible demeanor.
  • Thrive in fast-evolving environments where flexibility and speed are essential.

Why Join Us?
