Sales & Business Development - Cybersecurity Startup

Yakshanexus is building WP1 — an Autonomous Security Engineer that helps companies find and verify real security vulnerabilities across their web applications and APIs.

We’re looking for MBA students, business students, or people with strong sales skills who want hands-on experience selling a real cybersecurity product.

This is not a typical sales role.

You will need to understand the product technically enough to give demos, answer basic technical questions, understand customer requirements, and help close deals.

What you’ll do

Find and qualify potential B2B customers

Reach out to CTOs, CISOs, security teams and founders

Understand their security requirements

Learn WP1 deeply and conduct product demos

Explain technical features in simple business terms

Handle customer questions and objections

Follow up with prospects and convert pilots into paid customers

Work directly with the founder to build the sales process

Who should apply?

MBA students / graduates with an interest in technology and sales

People with strong B2B sales or business development skills

Good communication and presentation skills

Strong technical understanding is important

Basic understanding of cybersecurity, web applications, APIs or cloud is a strong advantage

Willing to learn the product deeply and conduct demos independently

Confident speaking with founders, CTOs and security teams

You don't need to be a cybersecurity expert on day one, but you must be comfortable learning technical products and explaining them to customers.

Compensation

This is an early-stage opportunity.

ESOP / equity compensation initially

Commission on every successful deal

Cash compensation will be introduced as the company scales/funding comes in

You'll work directly with the founder and have the opportunity to build the sales function of a cybersecurity startup from the ground up.

If you can understand technology + sell + communicate, we want to hear from you.
