Win new logos. Build pipeline. Close deals. Accelerate your career.
Softwerx is growing rapidly - and we’re looking for a true new business hunter to join our team as a Sales Account Executive, focused on winning net-new midmarket customers for our secure365® Security Managed Services portfolio.
If you thrive on prospecting, building pipeline, and closing new logos - and want the backing of a dedicated BDR team and a high-demand security offering - this is your opportunity.

In this role, you will:

· 4% pension contribution
· Clear progression path within a fast-growing Microsoft security practice

Who This Role Is Perfect For
You are:
· A new business sales professional (hunter), not an account manager
· Currently in IT services / cybersecurity / SaaS sales and want a stronger market
· Frustrated by lack of pipeline support or weak propositions
· Motivated by uncapped earnings and winning new customers
· Looking to specialise in Microsoft Security and managed services
Why Join Now?
This is a chance to:
· Be part of a scaling security business at the right time
