About Oasis Security
At Oasis Security, we're redefining how enterprises manage access in the age of AI. Every organization deploying AI agents is taking on access risks they can't yet see, and the tools they've relied on were never built for this. We built Oasis to change that. Backed by Sequoia, Accel, and Craft Ventures, we're trusted by dozens of Fortune 500 companies including S&P Global, Mars, and Nationwide, and we're only getting started.
Why Oasis, why now
The access management category is being rewritten in real time, and Oasis is leading it. The problems are genuinely hard, the company is growing fast, and you're early enough to shape both the product and the team.
Summary
We're looking for a Regional Director to own a region and win in it. This is a hands-on leadership role focused on managing and developing a team of Account Executives, driving execution through the team, and stepping into the most critical deals. You will take ownership of the most important opportunities in your region. There is no fully built machine here. You will help create it.
What You'll Do
- Build and lead a high-performing enterprise sales team
- Hire and ramp Account Executives in your region
- Drive pipeline generation and new logo acquisition
- Step into critical deals and help drive them to close
- Establish how the region operates and wins
- Partner cross-functionally to accelerate growth
What we're looking for
- Track record of closing large, complex enterprise deals (recent experience required)
- Cybersecurity experience required; background in identity security is a strong advantage
- Experience selling to enterprise security buyers (CISO-level)
- 5+ years of sales management experience
- Experience managing and developing Account Executives in enterprise environments
- Strong hands-on leadership style, comfortable coaching deals and driving execution through the team
Why This Role
This is an opportunity to work on a category-defining problem with real enterprise traction.
You'll have full ownership of your region, build the team, and directly shape how Oasis wins in the market.
Equal opportunity
Oasis Security is an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to building a workforce that reflects the world we're securing. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, veteran status, or disability status. Oasis Security does not accept unsolicited headhunter and agency resumes and will not pay any third-party agency or company that does not have a signed agreement with Oasis Security.

Enterprise Account Executive — Gulf South Enterprise
Share this job
Salt Security is the original API Security vendor pioneering the market as the first vendor in 2018. Since then we have exhibited hyper-growth in a number of customers, threats stopped, and revenue. We saw API security as the security battleground of the future years ago as APIs started to form the foundation of the application innovation needed to drive business success today. Across banks, retail and transportation, IoT, autonomous vehicles, and smart cities, every modern app depends on APIs. Attackers realize APIs are the conduits to all sorts of valuable data and services – within the year, APIs are predicted to be the number one application threat vector. Without secure APIs, businesses cannot rapidly innovate. Salt Security has delivered the only patented solution to discover all APIs and their exposed data, stop API attackers, and provide remediation details for dev teams to write more secure APIs.
At Salt, we’re passionate about what we do. We work as a team and embrace new ideas, wherever they come from. We also enjoy all the benefits of a startup environment, including quickly seeing the results of your work, making an outsized impact on our company, and solving diverse challenges.

• Comfortable executing MEDDIC, SPICED, or similar methodology; crisp discovery and business case building.
• Executive presence with the ability to engage C-level and board-level influencers; excellent written and verbal communication.
