About Privify
Privify builds AI governance and control infrastructure for the enterprise. Our platform, FORGE, enforces policy on AI agent traffic at the network layer — the layer where agents actually operate, and where most organizations currently have no visibility and no control.
We are a early stage and well recognized startup, The product is built and is ready to be deployed in customer environments. What we need now is someone to take it to market.
The role
You will own enterprise sales into banking, financial services and insurance accounts across the United States and Europe. This is a hands-on individual contributor role from day one — you will build the account list, run the outbound, take the discovery calls, run the POCs, and close the business. You will be the second commercial hire in the company and you will work directly with the founder.
As the pipeline matures, this role is intended to grow into a team lead position. We are being straightforward about the sequencing: you sell first, you hire later. If you want a management title without carrying a number, this is not the role. If you want to build a function you will eventually run, it is.
What you will do
- Own the full sales cycle for FORGE into BFSI accounts in the US and Europe — from named account list through to signed contract
- Build and work a targeted account list of security and infrastructure leaders at banks, insurers, asset managers and financial infrastructure providers
- Run multi-touch outbound sequences across email and LinkedIn, personalized and researched rather than volume-sprayed
- Lead technical discovery with CISOs, security architects and platform teams, and qualify hard and early
- Scope and run 30–60 day proof-of-concept engagements with success criteria agreed upfront
- Navigate enterprise security review and procurement in regulated environments
- Feed what you learn in the field back into product and positioning — at this stage, that loop is short and it matters
- Represent Privify credibly to a technical audience without overclaiming
What we are looking for
- 15 years of overall professional experience, Exposure to AI Governance is a must
- At least the most recent 8 years selling cybersecurity, security, or infrastructure software to large enterprises. Physical security, surveillance and access control experience is not relevant to this role
- A demonstrable record of closing deals with average contract values above USD 250,000
- Direct experience selling into BFSI accounts in the US and/or European markets
- Comfort selling to a technical buyer — CISOs and security architects recognise a pitch that has been memorised rather than understood
- Experience carrying a number at an early-stage or scaling company, or a explicit-eyed appetite for it: no inbound, no brand recognition, no SDR team, no marketing engine
- Willingness to work hours that overlap meaningfully with US and European business days
- Fluent, confident written and spoken English
Nice to have
- Exposure AI security, or agent infrastructure
- Existing relationships with security leadership at BFSI institutions
- Experience selling through Big 4, GSI or consultancy channels
- Familiarity with SOC 2, DORA, or comparable regulatory frameworks as they touch enterprise procurement
Practical details
- Full-time, remote-first. Anchored to Mumbai, but we will consider strong candidates anywhere in India
- Compensation is competitive and will be discussed directly. We will be transparent about our stage and our runway in that conversation
