About LMG Security
LMG Security is a nationally recognized cybersecurity consulting firm providing penetration testing, advisory services, incident response readiness, AI security research, and cybersecurity training to midsized and large organizations. We serve clients across financial services, healthcare, technology, manufacturing, and critical infrastructure.
We are expanding our geographic footprint and seeking a senior, relationship-driven Account Executive based in Minneapolis to develop and grow our presence in the Upper Midwest and beyond.
This role represents a strategic investment in regional expansion.
Position Overview
This is a senior-level hunter role focused on generating new business, expanding regional relationships, and building a strong market presence in Minneapolis, Des Moines, and Kansas City, with periodic travel to other regions including the East Coast.
The ideal candidate brings at least 8 years of experience in complex B2B sales, preferably in cybersecurity, IT consulting, or technical professional services. They are comfortable engaging CISOs, CIOs, IT leadership, risk professionals, and executive teams.
This role requires independent pipeline development, in-person networking, and active participation in the regional cybersecurity community.
