Job Description

About Workstreet At Workstreet we’re on an exciting journey to help businesses scale securely by designing and implementing cutting-edge security and compliance programs. As a fast-growing startup we specialize in a wide range of frameworks—including SOC 2 ISO 27001 GDPR CMMC NIST 800-171 NIST 800-53 and FedRAMP—empowering companies to meet regulatory requirements and enhance their cybersecurity posture from day one. The Opportunity We're looking for an Account Executive based in the United Kingdom to join our growing team. This is a unique sales role that combines direct selling with partner-led business development. The majority of your pipeline comes through our partner channel meaning you're selling into warm pre-qualified demand rather than running a traditional outbound motion. Your job is to convert that demand effectively manage the partner relationships that generate it and close business independently. You'll work with companies ranging from early-stage startups to mid-market SaaS businesses in a fast-paced high-volume motion — typical deal cycles run around a month so you'll need to be organised responsive and decisive. The sale is consultative. Prospects are navigating real compliance and security pressure — customer requirements audit deadlines regulatory obligations — and they rely on you to help them make sense of it. You don't need to be a practitioner on day one but you need to want to become one. The best Account Executives at Workstreet are salespeople who have grown into trusted advisors.
