Job description

Account Executive, Enterprise (New Business) — UKI

The Role

Rapid7 is seeking a curious, competitive, and target-driven Enterprise Account Executive to join our UKI Sales team in a dedicated new business hunter role. You'll own a set of dedicated named enterprise accounts, a mix of greenfield logos and existing Rapid7 customers with room to grow, and be responsible for driving all new-logo and expansion revenue across that list.

About the Team

Our Sales organization serves as a strategic partner for our customers, helping them achieve a more secure digital future by leveraging the full value of our portfolio to create relevant cybersecurity solutions. You will be supported closely by in-region Sales Development Representatives, Channel Account Managers, Solutions Engineers, Customer Success Managers, and Sales Enablement.

About the role

As an Account Executive your primary responsibility will be to drive net-new business opportunities from initial prospecting through negotiation and contract close. Specifically, your focus will be to:

• Own your named accounts from prospecting through to close, building a clear understanding of the business, mapping key stakeholders and identifying opportunities to win new business
• Pipeline new logo opportunities through multi-channel outbound (calls, email, LinkedIn, events) into accounts with no active leads, alongside SDR support.
• Run full-cycle enterprise deals — discovery, multi-stakeholder value selling, technical validation (with SE support), commercial negotiation, and close.
• Turn complex cybersecurity challenges into business conversations, showing senior stakeholders how Rapid7’s Command Platform can reduce risk, improve efficiency and deliver real business value, from tackling today’s AI-powered attacks to building stronger AI-powered defence.
• Maintain accurate pipeline, forecast, and activity data in Salesforce and Clari; use AI-assisted sales tools (e.g. call intelligence, account research) as a standard part of your workflow.

The skills and qualities you’ll bring include:

• Bring previous full-cycle new business sales experience within a cybersecurity company selling SaaS platform solutions and managed services
• Cybersecurity experience is strongly preferred; exposure management, vulnerability management, XDR/MDR, or cloud security experience is a strong plus.
• Hold self accountable for achieving sales quotas, approaching targets with tenacity, determination, and a drive to succeed.
• Proven ability to run structured account planning across a named account list, including analysis on existing customers and disciplined outbound cadence into cold accounts.
• Build strong networks and work collaboratively across Renewals, Customer Success, Channel and Cybersecurity Advisory to run a single coherent account strategy.
• A value selling approach in which you are able to translate platform capability into board-level risk and ROI language.
• Fluency with, or fast adoption of, AI-assisted sales tooling as part of day-to-day prospecting, call prep, and forecasting.
• An entrepreneurial, autonomous working style where you are comfortable making decisions independently during complex, multi-stakeholder deal cycles.
• Willingness to travel up to 25% for client meetings.
• Embody our core values to foster a culture of excellence that drives meaningful impact and collective success.

We know that the best ideas and solutions come from multi-dimensional teams. That’s because these teams reflect a variety of backgrounds and professional experiences. If you are excited about this role and feel your experience can make an impact.
