Come join us and help shape a safer, simpler digital future.

As a Senior Commercial Account Executive, you will own a focused territory of strategic high growth accounts and existing customers with 500-2500 employees, with an emphasis on Fortune 1000 organizations. Your mandate is to create new executive relationships, build qualified pipeline, win complex multi-product platform opportunities, expand 1Password’s strategic footprint across an existing book of business and secure new logos to add to our customer base.

This is not a transactional or single-product sales role. You will lead an enterprise-wide security conversation, starting with a customer’s most urgent problem and building the strategic case for Unified Access across humans, AI agents, and machines. You will engage and multi-thread with CISOs, CIOs, IT and security leaders, IAM teams, DevOps and platform teams, engineering leaders, security architects, finance, procurement, and other executive stakeholders.

This is a remote, field-based opportunity. Candidates must be based in the Southeast region and should expect regular in-person customer meetings, industry events, and travel throughout the territory

• How we’re using AI today
• Across GTM, we’re transforming the way we work with AI. We expect every seller, CSM, and team member to become a power user, using it daily to work smarter and move faster. AI is already embedded in how we operate – from real-time coaching that sharpens how we sell and interact with customers, to surfacing insights that help us anticipate needs – creating more time for meaningful customer engagement. If you’re excited to reshape how you think, make decisions, and drive growth with AI, you’ll feel right at home here.

Expectations of this role:

This is a field-based sales role. That means you are expected to be regularly engaged in customer-facing activities, including in-person meetings, events, and other travel as required to effectively support your territory.

Candidates MUST be based in the Mid Atlantic or Southeast. Preferably; Washington D.C., Richmond, Charlotte, Charleston, Raleigh-Durham or Atlanta

Your primary work location will be your home office, but your role requires a lot of mobility and flexibility. Travel within your assigned territory, and occasionally outside of it, will be a part of your job, and you are responsible for managing your schedule in a way that works for the company and you.

6+ years experience selling to Fortune 1000 organizations and high growth companies spanning 500 plus employees, with 2+ years of substantial cybersecurity sales experience.

A consistent record of exceeding $1.5M+ annual quotas, including experience carrying quotas in the $1.5M-$3M+ range and closing complex, multi-product opportunities.

Experience selling identity, Zero Trust, cloud security, endpoint security, privileged access, developer security, or adjacent cybersecurity platforms.

Established, credible relationships with enterprise CISOs, CIOs, senior security and IT leaders, IAM leaders, and identity/security architects within the territory or relevant named-account segment.

Proven ability to engage IAM, IT security, DevOps, platform engineering, and engineering leaders and connect their technical priorities to an executive business case.

A record of winning net-new strategic logos and expanding existing accounts through cross-sell, upsell, and multi-year platform agreements.

Strong executive presence and the ability to communicate credibly with C-suite leaders and deeply technical audiences.

Rigorous account planning, pipeline creation, opportunity management, forecasting, and negotiation skills.

Strong knowledge of identity and access management, privileged access management, credential security, machine identities, agentic AI security, SaaS governance, device trust, or secrets management.

Experience competing and winning against major enterprise identity and cybersecurity platform providers.

Connect 1Password’s capabilities to measurable outcomes, including reducing credential and access risk, eliminating standing privilege, governing SaaS and shadow AI, protecting developer and machine workflows, strengthening device trust, and improving auditability.

Land with the customer’s most urgent use case, then build an executive-backed roadmap for adoption and expansion across Enterprise Password Manager, SaaS Manager, Credential Broker, Device Trust, and Privileged Access.
