JOB OVERVIEW

ThreatLocker is seeking very hardworking and ambitious Account Executives to drive growth across both our existing customer base and new prospects.  

This position will be based in the London / Maidenhead / Reading area and will support our continued growth across the UK market.  

You must have the drive and resilience to prospect daily and make constant outbound calls throughout the workday. This is not a role for someone seeking an easy 9–6 job; it is for those ready to push hard and win.  

We offer a base salary of £45,000 annually, with an expected OTE of £100,000. The Commission is uncapped, giving high-performing Account Executives the opportunity to significantly exceed expected earnings. We’re looking for individuals with clear ambition and determination to achieve exceptional results which are compensated through a highly incentivized commission structure.  

In addition, employees may be eligible for a quarterly bonus if company targets are met.  

Account Executives will focus on new sales, including prospecting, managing opportunities, and closing deals. Commission is earned on deals closed, with further commission available on multiyear deals.  

This role is ideal for someone who is sociable, driven, and thrives on building relationships in a high-pressure, fast-paced sales environment. Prior sales experience in technology is helpful but not required. We also welcome candidates with strong customer-facing experience in industries such as retail, hospitality, or service who are ready to transition into technology sales.  

What matters most is a relentless work ethic, the ability to perform under pressure, and the drive to hit and exceed ambitious targets.  

You will be directly responsible for prospecting, managing, and finalising opportunities, as well as representing ThreatLocker at trade shows and conferences. Success in this role comes from being persistent, organized, and people-focused.  

We welcome applicants from all backgrounds. If college or university was not the right fit for you, but you have the drive, ambition, and willingness to work hard, we encourage you to apply.
