Senior Account Executive - UK

Title: Senior Account Executive - UK Location: United Kingdom - Remote

Daylight is a security services company delivering Managed Agentic Security Services (MASS), including MDR, threat hunting, security data lake, and more, through a fundamentally different architecture than traditional security services providers.

Daylight's architecture combines an agentic platform that runs the full cycle from detection to response with security experts from IR and threat hunting backgrounds. The platform collects identity and business context across systems to investigate alerts and continuously learns your environment. Security experts validate decisions, feed insights into the platform, optimize detections, and take over in case of an incident.

The result: security teams move from firefighting to strategic work.

We’re looking for a Senior Account Executive to join our growing team and help expand Daylight’s presence in the UK market. This is a unique opportunity to play a key role in our continued growth, with significant ownership and impact from day one.

You’ll work closely with our sales leadership and founders, owning the full sales cycle from prospecting to closing and beyond. As our first sales hire in the UK, you’ll play an important role in building our customer base, shaping our go-to-market approach, and establishing Daylight in the region.

If you’re passionate about solving complex security challenges for enterprise customers, thrive on building relationships, and want to make a real impact in a fast-moving startup, we’d love to meet you.
