Job description

Eye has a mission: to digitally secure SMEs in Europe.

Are you up for a challenge and joining us?


Your role at Eye

As an Account Executive Trainee, you will be responsible for generating leads and pipeline. After 6-12 months, you will be promoted to an Account Executive role based on your performance.

  • You are an outbound hunter using a mix of calls, emails, and LinkedIn outreaches to grab a prospect's attention and keep a high pace.
  • You make use of sales enablement material as well as prospecting tools to drive efficiency.
  • Good news: You will also get in-bound leads from our partner network and marketing driven events and campaigns.
  • You qualify leads by customer-centric discovery questions to prequalify meetings for the Account Executives.
  • You will gain understanding and clarify our positioning in the competitive landscape.
