Teleskope

Cybersecurity

Teleskope automates the protection of your most important asset: data. Existing tools leave your data exposed, with inaccurate classification, excessive false positives, and no remediation support. Built by security engineers to fill this gap, Teleskope automates data protection – from detection to remediation and prevention. Teleskope provides full visibility into your security posture, discovering your data across cloud, on-prem, and third-party SaaS platforms. Our lightweight architecture, powered by small language models, delivers accurate and scalable classification of structured and unstructured data, while surfacing security issues like stale data, overly permissive access, and misconfigurations. Teleskope makes it easy to remediate any risks, with automated actions like redaction, access revocation, and data minimization.

Job description

About Teleskope

Teleskope is redefining data security for the AI era with the only dedicated platform that combines precise visibility with automated remediation. Teleskope continuously scans, catalogs, and classifies data in motion and at rest while automating policy-based actions, helping organizations proactively manage data sprawl while securely enabling AI adoption.

Fresh off our $25 million Series A round, Teleskope is entering a high-growth phase backed by top-tier investors and exceptional product-market fit. We’re expanding our go-to-market team to accelerate adoption across the world’s leading enterprises.

Our Values

Aligned at Our Core – We succeed together, as a team, through humility, openness, and thoughtfulness.

Relentlessly Ambitious – We take ownership, move fast, and hold ourselves accountable to excellence.

Adaptable by Design – We thrive in changing environments by staying scrappy, focused, and smart in how we work.

Customer-Obsessed – We put our customers at the center of every decision.

About the role

As one of Teleskope’s first Account Executives, you’ll play a key role in shaping our next stage of growth. Working closely with the VP of Growth on a lean, high-impact team, you’ll help define how we reach and serve customers as we scale. With a powerful product in an underserved market, you’ll have the chance to build something industry-defining—without the layers of internal competition, and with real room for impact and upside.

This role is fast-paced and high-impact, with 50–60% travel to meet customers, attend events, and represent Teleskope in key industry circles. If you thrive in early-stage environments and want to help shape the future of data security, we’d love to meet you.

What you’ll do

  • Own the full sales cycle, from sourcing deals to establishing compelling use cases to closing six-figure deals

  • Alongside Sales Engineers, manage 5–10 concurrent POCs, demonstrating impeccable project management, organization, and follow-through from kickoff to close

  • Build and foster relationships with CISOs and other industry leaders through a wide range of conferences and events, serving as the face of Teleskope and helping educate the industry on our platform.

  • Collaborate with our Sales Engineering and Customer Engineering team to support the full customer journey from prospect through a proof-of-concept, sale, and beyond

  • Provide a feedback loop to continually hone our ICP, customer personas, and lead generation efforts

Who you are

  • Experienced: You have 4+ years prior experience selling enterprise software products to technical buyers, especially in cybersecurity, data or AI.

  • Scrappy & Resourceful: You’re an owner, not a passenger. You thrive in fast-moving, unstructured environments and aren’t rattled by ambiguity. When things break, you fix them. When there’s no process, you create one.

  • Grounded & Respectful: You bring confidence without arrogance. You lead with empathy, show respect in every interaction, and believe humility and kindness create the strongest teams and happiest customers.

  • Relationship-Driven: You spend as much time building genuine relationships with clients as closing deals. Clients follow you from company to company because they trust and believe in you.

  • Customer-Centric: You’re obsessed with understanding your customers’ challenges and needs, and you work tirelessly to deliver value to them.

  • Strategic: You have an innate entrepreneurial energy and curiosity. You’re eager to learn and always look for ways to refine strategies, hone tactics, and question assumptions.

What you'll get

  • A chance to join an emerging player in one of today’s hottest markets—data security

  • Competitive compensation with a beatable quota, plus meaningful equity in a fast-growing, Series A-backed startup.

  • Uncapped earning potential as one of the first three Account Executives, with strong deal flow, a short sales cycle, and incredible industry interest. This is a lucrative position for the AE that is hungry, organized, and committed.

  • Flexible vacation and work-from-home days

  • Health, vision, dental, 401(k), and more benefits, heavily subsidized by Teleskope
