Lavendo partners with startups and high‑growth companies to help them hire top‑tier sales, GTM, and technical talent. This role is with one of our clients; we’ll share full details about the company and interview process as we get to know you and confirm mutual fit.

Our client is a fast-growing data privacy and AI company helping modern businesses build trust, reduce risk, and stay ahead of a rapidly changing regulatory landscape. Its platform supports data privacy governance, data security and protection, consent management, and GDPR/CCPA compliance for sophisticated organizations that take customer data seriously.

Our client is building its product for a world where privacy is no longer optional — it is a business imperative. This team helps leading organizations protect customer data, meet evolving compliance requirements, and create stronger, more responsible digital experiences.

This is a strong next-step role for an AE who has already shown they can sell SaaS and is ready for bigger opportunities, more ownership, and faster growth. You’ll manage full-cycle sales, build pipeline through outbound effort, and sell into complex organizations where the stakes and learning curve are both high.

• Develop and execute strategic sales plans to win new customers.

• Manage the full sales cycle from prospecting through negotiation and close.

• Consistently meet or exceed quotas, targets, and KPIs.

• Conduct product demos and clearly communicate value to senior decision-makers, especially CIOs and CISOs.

• Partner with BDRs to qualify opportunities and build a robust pipeline.

• Maintain accurate CRM records and provide regular pipeline updates and forecasts.

• At least 2+ years of full-cycle B2B SaaS AE experience with a proven track record of quota attainment.

• Ability to self-generate new business and build pipeline through consistent outbound activity.

• Experience selling complex technical SaaS in a consultative, solution-oriented way.

• Ability and willingness to travel once per month to the company’s office.

• Bonus: experience selling complex technical SaaS to CIOs, CISOs, and other senior technology or privacy leaders, plus familiarity with data privacy or cybersecurity.

• High ethical standards, honesty, and transparency in how you sell and how you work.

• Strong self-discipline and self-motivation — you do not need constant supervision to perform at a high level.

• Hungry, energetic, and driven to win — you bring a hunter mentality to build your own pipeline and close business.

• Comfortable wearing multiple hats and adapting quickly in a fast-moving startup environment.

• Coachable, low-ego, and collaborative, with the confidence to contribute and the maturity to take feedback.

• Comfortable working with team members from diverse backgrounds and contributing to an inclusive culture.

• Competitive OTE in the $120,000–$160,000+ range, with an uncapped commission potential (top performers going higher and regularly outpace their targets)
