Job summary

HALOCK Security Labs, a trusted cybersecurity leader based in Schaumburg, IL, seeks an ambitious sales professional to drive new business across healthcare, financial services, legal, and enterprise retail. You will translate risk into executive language and close complex deals with C-suite stakeholders.

Join a team that values mentorship, performance, and quota achievement, offering base plus commission, benefits, and opportunities for paid certification and professional growth.

Qualifications

• 1–3 years of sales experience with a track record of hitting quotas.
• Ability to translate cybersecurity concepts into business value for executives.
• Coachable, proactive, and closing-oriented.
• Strong room presence for virtual and in-person meetings.

Responsibilities

• Hunting and developing new cybersecurity business across industries like healthcare, financial services, legal, and enterprise retail - sectors where a breach isn’t just embarrassing, it can be a company killer.
• Translating cybersecurity risk into business terms for executives, board members, and GCs, so they understand why governance matters and are eager to sign the check.
• Partnering with world-class consultants in pen testing, incident response, compliance validation, and risk management to craft solutions that are actually appropriate for the client.
• Building a pipeline from cold outreach to close, with mentorship from some of the sharpest security minds in the Chicago area.
• Representing HALOCK at industry events, thought leadership sessions, and client meetings where the conversations are never boring.
• You have 1-3 years of sales experience and a track record of hitting quota - but you’re tired of selling something you don’t believe in.
• You’re intellectually curious. You don’t need to be a hacker, but you need to want to understand what’s at stake when a healthcare system gets ransomed or an organization loses client data.
• You can command a room and a Zoom call equally well - because our clients are often C-suite and they’ll know immediately if you’re unprepared and winging it.
• You’re coachable but not passive. You push back. You ask hard questions. You are a closer.
• You thrive in an environment where no two deals look the same and the problems you’re solving are genuinely complex.
• You have a driver’s mentality - you don’t wait to be told what to do next.

Job description

You are an overachiever and are tired of being underappreciated. You seek a company that has a strong brand and a clear mission. If you’re looking for an organization that is not just a “stepping stone” but a “destination”; where the average work tenure is more than twice the industry norm, we may be the place for you!

HALOCK Security Labs was founded in 1996. We invented Duty of Care Risk Analysis (DoCRA) and authored the CIS Risk Assessment Method. Our clients aren’t buying a subscription - they’re buying innovation, reputation and commitment to quality.

If all that matters to you, if you are hungry and know you’re capable of more, let’s start a conversation.

WHAT YOU'LL ACTUALLY BE DOING

• Hunting and developing new cybersecurity business across industries like healthcare, financial services, legal, and enterprise retail - sectors where a breach isn’t just embarrassing, it can be a company killer.
• Translating cybersecurity risk into business terms for executives, board members, and GCs, so they understand why governance matters and are eager to sign the check.
• Partnering with world-class consultants in pen testing, incident response, compliance validation, and risk management to craft solutions that are actually appropriate for the client.
• Building a pipeline from cold outreach to close, with mentorship from some of the sharpest security minds in the Chicago area.
• Representing HALOCK at industry events, thought leadership sessions, and client meetings where the conversations are never boring.
• You have 1-3 years of sales experience and a track record of hitting quota - but you’re tired of selling something you don’t believe in.
• You’re intellectually curious. You don’t need to be a hacker, but you need to want to understand what’s at stake when a healthcare system gets ransomed or an organization loses client data.
• You can command a room and a Zoom call equally well - because our clients are often C-suite and they’ll know immediately if you’re unprepared and winging it.
• You’re coachable but not passive. You push back. You ask hard questions. You are a closer.
• You thrive in an environment where no two deals look the same and the problems you’re solving are genuinely complex.
• You have a driver’s mentality - you don’t wait to be told what to do next.

WHAT WE BRING TO THE TABLE

• A 30-year reputation that opens doors before you even make the call.
• Mentorship from certified experts: CISSPs, CISAs, PCI QSAs, ISO 27001 Auditors - the real ones.
• A promote-from-within culture where your ceiling is defined by your ambition, not your tenure.
• Work that truly matters - cybersecurity isn’t slowing down, and neither is HALOCK.
• Competitive base + commission structure, benefits, and the chance to build a career in one of the fastest-growing industries on the planet.

HALOCK offers excellent compensation and benefits packages including training and paid certification opportunities, paid time off, health, dental, 401(k), long-term disability, conference attendance, and more.
