Job summary

ValiMail is seeking an Account Executive, Cross Sale to support a strategic revenue growth initiative selling ValiMail DMARC solutions into DigiCert’s existing customer base. This role is part of a dedicated cross-sell team and reports to the Sales Manager, Cross Sale.

Unlike traditional net-new logo roles, this position is focused on account expansion and value-based selling into warm, existing customer relationships. Prospecting and initial outreach are handled by a dedicated SDR team, allowing Account Executives to focus on discovery, solution positioning, and closing.

This role supports a dual-motion sales environment, managing both: High-velocity SMB and mid-market transactions; More complex enterprise sales cycles with multiple stakeholders

 

What you will do

  • Own the sales process from qualified opportunity to close for ValiMail solutions within DigiCert customer accounts
  • Engage with inbound and SDR-qualified opportunities rather than cold outbound prospecting
  • Conduct discovery to understand customer email infrastructure, security posture, and DMARC maturity
  • Position ValiMail’s value proposition as a natural extension of customers’ existing DigiCert investment
  • Manage a high-volume pipeline while also navigating longer, more complex enterprise deal cycles
  • Collaborate closely with SDRs to ensure clean handoffs, strong opportunity qualification, and consistent follow-up
  • Partner cross-functionally with Customer Success, Product, Marketing, and Sales Operations to deliver a seamless customer experience
  • Maintain accurate and up-to-date pipeline, forecasts, and activity tracking in Salesforce
  • Participate in enablement sessions, playbook execution, and ongoing process refinement for the cross-sell motion
  • Occasionally support joint customer calls or initiatives with DigiCert stakeholders

 

What you will have

  • 2–4+ years of closing experience in B2B SaaS sales
  • Experience selling into existing customer accounts, including upsell, cross-sell, or expansion motions
  • Comfortable managing both transactional and more consultative sales cycles
  • Strong discovery and qualification skills with the ability to align technical solutions to business outcomes
  • Ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to IT, security, and business stakeholders
  • Highly organized with strong CRM discipline and attention to detail
  • Coachable, process-oriented, and receptive to structured sales motions and feedback
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-velocity environment with defined playbooks

 

Nice to have

  • Experience selling cybersecurity, email security, SaaS, or enterprise software solutions
  • Familiarity with DMARC, SPF, DKIM, or adjacent email / identity security concepts
  • Experience selling into IT, Security, or Infrastructure teams
  • Exposure to formal sales methodologies such as MEDDIC, Challenger, Command of the Message, or similar
  • Experience using common sales tools such as Salesforce, Outreach, Salesloft, Gong, ZoomInfo, or equivalent

 

Benefits

  • Competitive compensation with base salary and commission
  • Participation in employee stock option plan
  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage
  • Six weeks of paid parental leave for all parents, plus an additional six weeks for birth parents
  • Fully remote, US-based role
  • Unlimited and flexible PTO
  • Opportunity to be part of a new, highly visible revenue motion with meaningful growth potential
