Position Overview
Netwrix is seeking an elite, high-performance Account Executive to own, develop, and dominate a defined Middle East territory – with primary focus on the UAE and broader GCC region. This is not a relationship-maintenance role. We are looking for a hunter with deep enterprise software sales DNA, someone who has spent their career closing complex, high-value deals at major cybersecurity or enterprise software vendors.
This role demands someone who thrives under pressure, takes full ownership of the end-to-end sales cycle on deals above $1M, and operates with the discipline, urgency, and commercial instinct that top-1% enterprise sellers bring every day. You will build and execute a territory strategy, develop a high-quality pipeline from scratch, and drive strategic enterprise growth through both direct and partner-led motions.
If you have a proven record of overachieving quota, a strong network across the MEA cybersecurity ecosystem, and the ability to navigate complex multi-stakeholder deals – this is your next challenge.
Candidates must be based in Dubai / UAE and eligible to work in the region.
What Sets This Candidate Apart
We are not looking for a generalist. The ideal candidate brings:
- 10–12 years of progressive enterprise software sales experience, exclusively with vendors – not services,or consulting firms. You must know how to sell software licenses, subscriptions, and SaaS.
- A personal track record of closing enterprise deals above $1M ARR, consistently exceeding quota year-over-year, and overachieving against targets in competitive markets.
- Deep roots in the MEA cybersecurity and IT security ecosystem – including strong existing relationships with distributors, value-added resellers (VARs), MSSPs, and system integrators across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and broader GCC.
- Proven ability to manage complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles from cold prospecting through to signed contract and renewal, without handoffs or reliance on others to close.
- A team player mindset who knows how to leverage internal resources pre-sales engineers, marketing, customer success, product to win. You collaborate to compete.
- The emotional intelligence and executive presence to engage CISOs, CIOs, and board-level stakeholders, while also working effectively with technical buyers and procurement teams.
- Hunger to learn, grow, and continuously sharpen your product knowledge, competitive positioning, and market expertise. Netwrix is a fast-moving company and this role rewards curiosity.
