Account Executive, Prague

Prague, Czech Republic

Company Background

Censys’ mission is to be the one place to understand everything on the internet. Frustrated by the lack of trustworthy Internet intelligence, we set out to create the industry’s most comprehensive, accurate, and up-to-date map of the Internet. Today, Censys delivers real-time Internet intelligence and actionable threat insights to global governments, over 50% of the Fortune 500, and leading threat intelligence providers worldwide.

Censys has emerged as a leader in internet-scale attack surface management — and we're scaling the sales org to match. This is your shot to own the Czech and broader Central European market at exactly the moment a Series D, category-defining security company needs its next great territory builder.

You'll report to our Area VP of Sales (EMEA) and sit alongside a sharp bench of Sales Engineers, Channel Managers, and SDRs who move fast and back each other up. You won't just be closing deals in one of Central Europe's fastest-growing tech and cybersecurity hubs — Prague's density of financial services, IT outsourcing, and cloud-native scale-ups makes this one of the highest-leverage territories in the company. You'll also help write the playbook other AEs use as we scale, working directly with sales leadership to shape process, not just execute it.

If you're energized by category-leader momentum but still want the freedom (and occasional chaos) of building something from a still-early stage — territory strategy, deal structure, even parts of the sales motion aren't fully fixed yet — this is built for you.

What You'll Do:

  • Own and grow the Czech/Central European territory for a company that's just become the recognized leader in internet intelligence and attack surface management
  • Run and close large, complex deals with multiple C-level and VP stakeholders at the region's top enterprise, financial services, and multinational companies
  • Become a go-to expert on Censys's security data and SaaS platform — the same data powering threat intelligence, security research, and defense at scale globally
  • Consistently beat activity, pipeline, and revenue targets each quarter
  • Build and maintain a strong, accurately forecasted pipeline of qualified opportunities
  • Negotiate agreements that create real, mutual value — not just a signed contract
  • Directly influence and help build the sales playbook as we scale from category emergence to category dominance

What You'll Bring:

  • 10+ years of software sales experience, including 5+ years in cybersecurity
  • Experience selling at early-stage or high-growth companies where you helped build the motion, not just run it
  • A consistent track record hitting or exceeding quota (target to be confirmed against regional plan)
  • Command of complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles using solution-selling methodology
  • Fluency in Czech is strongly preferred given the local market focus; professional English fluency required for cross-regional collaboration
  • Comfort and skill running a fully virtual/remote sales process, including executive-level virtual presentations
  • Fluency in Salesforce
  • Willingness to travel to customer sites in-region as needed

Bonus Points:

  • Fluency in MEDDIC, Force Management, or Value Selling frameworks
  • Existing relationships or credibility within the Czech or broader Central European enterprise, financial services, or cloud security buyer community

The estimated pay range for this role is between ~€110,000–€150,000 (CZK ~2.7M–3.7M). Compensation and benefits for this region will be shared and discussed during the interview process, in line with local market benchmarks and statutory requirements.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 07/31/2029

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
