Why Rapid7?

Rapid7 is leading the information security industry as a top provider of security products and services that help customers defend against everyday threats. Not only is Rapid7 on the forefront of the security revolution, but we are also known for our great company culture. We recently moved our Boston headquarters into a brand new office in the Hub by North Station (you can even take a virtual tour here!) and it’s a "physical manifestation" of our Moose culture. You can learn even more about our sales org, some successful career trajectory stories, and what we typically look for when he hire new Moose, directly from one of our sales leaders, Lauren Lynch

The Opportunity 

Are you looking for a chance to make a significant business impact in the white hot cyber security space with an opportunity for professional and financial growth?

Position Summary

We are searching for Mid Market Account Executives to join our growing sales team! The main goal of our Mid Market Account Executives is to drive net new sales opportunities, while managing upsell opportunities within their assigned geographical territory. In this role, you will partner cross-functionally with internal teams to drive net-new business opportunities from initial prospecting through negotiation and contract close. This is a quota-carrying role and is critical to the continued success of Rapid7. Rapid7 has a history of promoting from within and our sales representatives have a number of opportunities to grow within the organization. In 2018, we promoted 57 out of our 135 sellers (~40%)! Performance and compensation are fundamentally tied, and consistently demonstrating a positive impact to the business is the key to career progression.

  • Meet and/or exceed your quota by identifying, qualifying and closing new business opportunities at mid market companies (up to $400 million in revenue).

  • Creatively source new prospects and thoughtfully position Rapid7’s offerings to suit their needs. Be a trusted advisor and an industry expert. 

  • Stay current on competitor offerings and be able to identify their strengths and vulnerabilities.

  • An opportunity to build equity within the organization, including a clear promotion path and an employee stock purchase plan.

  • Partnership opportunities with cross-functional teams to help fuel your development and continue to secure new customers, including the marketing, sales engineering, and legal teams, among others.

  • The ability to travel and be onsite with customers for QBR’s, trade shows, and in-person meetings.
