XM Cyber is a continuous threat and exposure management solution that drives the most efficient remediation options for clients by understanding, continuously, all the ways that critical assets can be attacked. The technology turns the existing silo based cyber security model on it’s head and removes the big disconnect that exists within end user organisations where Security and IT teams have stopped working together as lists of CVE’s and other exposures get longer and longer! We are a SAAS based pre-ipo cyber security vendor that has the backing of the largest retailer in Europe thereby avoiding the challenges that many vendors have with Seed/PE/VC investments – we have a long-term vision for the industry, our company and allow our teams to think strategically.

This is a strategic opportunity to be part of the team that takes the Eastern Europe region to the next level of success.

You will evangelize the XM Cyber value proposition at senior levels of potential clients building funnel, progressing qualified sales opportunities, and growing the annual recurring revenue base for the company. The role will involve working closely with our channel partners to generate opportunities in major target accounts and managing smaller opportunities to build a vibrant sales region. You will be working together with an experienced team of world class professionals who all believe in the vision and future success of XM Cyber.
