Job Title: Regional Sales Director Location: Boston/NE Reports to: VP of Sales

About WitnessAI: WitnessAI is a fast-growing, AI Security startup dedicated to enabling safe and effective AI use for enterprises. Our cutting-edge platform helps organizations innovate and enjoy the power of generative AI, without losing control, privacy, or security.

The Role

As a Regional Sales Director, you’ll be responsible for driving growth in your territory by identifying, engaging, and closing business with enterprise customers. You’ll work closely with marketing, solutions engineering, and product teams to deliver value-driven sales conversations and build deep relationships with security, AI, and IT leaders. This is a hands-on, early-stage role where you’ll help shape our go-to-market motion, refine our sales playbook, and represent the company in a fast-evolving market category.

What You’ll Do

  • Own the full sales cycle — from prospecting and qualification through negotiation and close.
  • Develop and execute a territory plan focused on strategic enterprise accounts.
  • Build relationships with key decision-makers in security, data science, and IT.
  • Partner with marketing and SDRs to generate high-quality pipeline.
  • Work with Sales Engineering to scope technical requirements and deliver compelling demos.
  • Provide market and customer feedback to influence product direction and roadmap.
  • Represent the company at events, conferences, and key industry forums.
  • Consistently meet or exceed quarterly and annual sales targets.

What We’re Looking For

  • 7+ years of enterprise sales experience, preferably in cybersecurity, AI/ML infrastructure, or SaaS.
  • Proven record of closing six- and seven-figure deals with technical and business stakeholders.
  • Deep understanding of security architectures, cloud infrastructure, or AI/ML workflows.
  • Strong technical curiosity — able to articulate complex technology to both engineers and executives.
  • Experience selling into Fortune 1000, federal, or regulated industries (finance, healthcare, etc.) a plus.
  • Self-starter mentality — thrives in early-stage environments with high autonomy and evolving GTM processes.
  • Excellent communication, negotiation, and presentation skills.

Nice to Have

  • Network in the cybersecurity, AI, or cloud security ecosystem.
  • Experience building or mentoring early GTM teams (SDRs, SEs, or AEs).
  • Familiarity with CRM tools (Salesforce, HubSpot) and sales enablement platforms.
  • Prior startup experience — you know how to build structure from zero.

Why Join Us

  • Build the foundation of our go-to-market strategy in a new and rapidly growing category.
  • Represent a differentiated, high-impact product solving one of the biggest challenges in AI adoption.
  • Competitive compensation and meaningful equity in a fast-scaling company.
  • Collaborative, transparent, and mission-driven culture.
  • Backing from world-class investors and advisors in AI, cybersecurity, and enterprise software.

Benefits:

  • Hybrid work environment
  • Competitive salary, health, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401(k) plan
  • Opportunities for professional development and growth
  • Generous vacation policy

Salary range: $84,500 - $100,000 (The exact salary will be determined based on the selected candidate’s location, qualifications, experience, and relevant skills.)

Why work at Witness AI

  • Remote-first, office-ready: Work from anywhere in the U.S. with a home office stipend; Bay Area office available with weekly lunches and stocked kitchen.
  • Flexible PTO: Take the time you need.
  • Comprehensive benefits: Medical, dental, vision (HSA/FSA options), life & disability insurance, 401(k) with pre-tax/Roth options.
  • Culture: Described as a mix of top-tier security talent (Palo Alto Networks, Zscaler, Exabeam alumni) building something foundational. Emphasis on "making AI safe for the enterprise" — a mission-driven environment.
  • Growth stage: 76 employees with 92.5% YoY growth — early enough for impact, established enough with $85.5M funding for stability.
  • Engineering focus: Strong technical team (26% of staff in technical roles), building a platform that spans security, AI, and data governance.
