Regional Sales Director (NYC)

Tenzai•United States,

2h•Remote

About The Position

Tenzai is building autonomous AI hackers that think like the world's best offensive security experts, act like them, and then help fix what they find before the real ones do. If this mission speaks to you, come defend the world's software: autonomously, continuously, and in-depth. Backed by $75M in funding and led by veterans from Guardicore and Snyk, we are looking for a high-octane Regional Sales Director to spearhead our expansion in the NYC territory. As our first dedicated RSD for the NYC territory, you will be the face of Tenzai for Fortune 500 CISOs and high-growth tech firms. As a Regional Sales Manager, you are responsible for the entire sales lifecycle—from "opening the door" and navigating complex enterprise procurement to closing six-figure deals. This is a remote, individual contributor role for a "scrappy" superstar who thrives in the ambiguity of early-stage growth and possesses the technical gravitas to speak the language of offensive security.

Requirements

5+ years of experience selling enterprise cybersecurity software.
Understanding of the Pen-Testing world or vulnerability management.
Proven track record of navigating the C-suite of major enterprises and closing complex, six-figure deals ($150k+ ARR).
Comfortable doing your own prospecting and motivated by the "build" phase of a startup.
Highly transparent, communicative, and value an "open-door" culture.
Sense of urgency and drive to every meeting.

Responsibilities

Own the territory. Identify, map, and penetrate key accounts within the Fortune 500 and mid-market tech sectors.
Leverage your network to generate pipeline and manage the "next month" onboarding of our first SDR.
Partner with our Sales Engineering team to lead deep-dive sessions on autonomous pen-testing and offensive AI.
Lead the charge in converting interest into Proof of Concepts (PoCs), ensuring Tenzai’s value is proven quickly and undeniably.
Provide "boots on the ground" feedback to Product and Marketing to help refine our GTM strategy.
Leverage strong Channel Partner relationships to drive growth and monetization, building on existing regional partnerships to expand market reach and performance.
