Job description

Daylight is a security services company delivering Managed Agentic Security Services (MASS), including MDR, threat hunting, security data lake, and more, through a fundamentally different architecture than traditional security services providers.

Daylight’s architecture combines an agentic platform that runs the full cycle from detection to response with security experts from IR and threat hunting backgrounds. The platform collects identity and business context across systems to investigate alerts and continuously learns your environment. Security experts validate decisions, feed insights into the platform, optimize detections, and take over in case of an incident.

The result: security teams move from firefighting to strategic work.

About the role

We’re looking for a Mid-Market Account Executive to join us on our growth journey. Mid-market organizations face the same threats as large enterprises, often with lean security teams, and Daylight gives them enterprise-grade protection without building a SOC. You’ll own the full sales cycle, from prospecting to closing and beyond, managing a high-velocity pipeline and working closely with our founders and sales leadership to shape how we win in this segment.

If you’re passionate about solving security challenges for growing organizations, thrive on building relationships and running multiple deals at once, and want to make a real impact in a fast-moving startup, we’d love to meet you.

Responsibilities

• Maintain accurate pipeline data in our CRM and provide reliable forecasting.
