Job description
We're making security suck less for developers.
Security tools haven't kept up with how software is built today. They interrupt teams, slow releases, and turn security into a bottleneck instead of a capability. We built Aikido to change that. Aikido builds developer-first security products that reduce real risk without getting in the way of shipping software. We focus on what actually matters and automate the rest.
We're taking on legacy security tools teams have been stuck with, and we're winning. If you want to help us take market share and build products developers actually enjoy using, you're in the right place.
Founded in 2022 by third-time founders, Aikido has $85M in the bank and a long runway ahead. We're building toward self-securing software. Join an all-star team. Take real ownership. Push boundaries. Build things that matter.
You'll be responsible for managing and coaching a team of Enterprise Account Executives covering the US market. This is not a pure management role; we're looking for someone who leads from the front, helps close deals, sharpens execution, and raises the bar across the team.

Lead, coach, and scale a team of ENT Account Executives
Drive pipeline generation and revenue growth across your territory
Improve outbound, inbound, and sales execution processes

Proven experience leading high-performing SaaS sales teams in an enterprise segment
Experience managing Account Executives
Strong understanding of outbound sales, prospecting, CRM workflows, and pipeline management
Tech-savvy and comfortable selling technical products
Strong coaching and people management skills
Self-starter who thrives in a fast-growing startup environment
Ideally based in Chicago
What you can expect
Short decision lines. Big ownership. Shape the projects that matter and ship fast.
Grow as fast as we do. Take on more, own more, and carve out your own path.
Top-tier tech pay and equity.
High trust, strong values, zero corporate BS.
Flexibility in working hours.
A company that sticks to its values in an open and informal atmosphere.
We hire for talent, drive, and potential. Everything else is noise.
