Joblaze insights
Quick facts
From the original posting
Sweden. Norway. Denmark. Finland. Four markets, one region, and a team of elite sellers who are already winning. Abnormal is one of the fastest growing cybersecurity companies in the world, and we are looking for a Regional Director to take the Nordics to its next level.
Every CISO in the region is facing the same problem: attackers are using AI to get past defences built for a different era. Abnormal exists to change that. You will be the leader who gets into the deals, runs to the fire, and builds on a team that is already formidable.
This is not a role for someone who manages a forecast from behind a screen. It is for a leader who would rather be in the room with a CISO than in a meeting about the meeting.
Overachieve the Nordics new annual recurring revenue (NARR) quota by winning enterprise accounts (2,000+ mailboxes) from first conversation to signature, and by growing them long after.
Along the way, you will:
Hands on, always. You love getting into the deals with your AEs. You shape the strategy, join the critical calls, open doors at CISO, CIO and CTO level, and help close complex, multi-stakeholder deals from $200K+ through to $1M+.
Inspire the team. You lead with energy and example. You know what great looks like because you have done it, and you make the people around you want to do it too.
Run to the fire. When a deal is wobbling, a customer needs you or a competitor shows up, you are the first one there.
Thrive in velocity. We are low friction on process and high on pace. You enjoy agility, you make decisions quickly, and you are comfortable in a dynamic, Slack-based working culture where the best ideas move at the speed of a message.
Be external first. You will spend more time out in the market than in internal meetings, because that is where the pipeline and the relationships are.
You are a proven winner who holds yourself accountable to consistent over-achievement, and who is hungry to build on something already strong.
We are building a generational company, and you would be building it with us. Abnormal is one of the fastest growing cybersecurity companies in the world, selling something customers genuinely need in a category that is still being defined. The momentum is real, the product is differentiated and the opportunity ahead is enormous.
Here, builders are not spectators. You will inherit a team of elite sellers and be trusted to make them even better. You will work shoulder to shoulder with Sales Engineering, Product and Marketing, and your voice will shape what we build and how we win. You will have the freedom to move fast, the support to do it well, and a front-row seat to something special.
If you want to lead from the front, build a region and put your name on some of the most important deals in Nordic enterprise security, as part of a company people will talk about for decades, we would love to meet you.
A note on AI in our process:
Abnormal AI uses AI-assisted tools to help our recruiting team prepare for candidate interviews. These tools analyze resume content and role requirements to suggest interview questions and areas for the interviewer to explore.They do not make hiring decisions or screen candidates automatically. Every decision about a candidacy is made by a person. Further, if your application is successful and Abnormal AI makes a conditional offer of employment, we will carry out pre-employment checks which must be successfully completed to progress to a final offer. All processes and pre-employment checks are in line with prevailing legislation and Abnormal AI's policies relevant to our security and privacy standards.
