Founding Account Executive, Compliance Automation
About The Position
As a Founding Account Executive, Compliance Automation, you will play a critical overlay role as we bring our new Compliance Automation product line to market. This position combines hands-on selling with high-impact mentorship and motion-building across our GTM organization. You’ll operate in a dual function, both leading strategic deals, particularly in mid-market and enterprise segments, while also serving as a trusted partner to Account Executives and Customer Success Managers across Iru. Your mandate: help customers automate the path to audit-readiness, drive faster evidence collection, and modernize how Security and GRC teams manage compliance in the AI era. This is a unique opportunity for experienced sellers from leading compliance automation companies—those ready to take a broader, more strategic seat at the table—to help shape the next category-defining platform.

- Familiarity with sales methodologies such as SPICED and Winning by Design, with a focus on outcome-based selling
