The posting

Working as part of Absolute’s award-winning Sales team, we are looking for a results-driven, self-motivated Account Executive to join our fast-growing business in Japan for our International Secure Endpoint Business. The Account Executive is a critical member of the Japan Go-to-Market organization and is responsible for growing our enterprise business and is Tokyo-based.

In this role, you would be responsible for primarily driving significant revenue growth from new account acquisitions, as well as driving expansion & cross-sell support to existing customers. The ideal candidate is a highly motivated & self-directed individual that can create & execute on sales strategy for Japan. This role reports directly to the Country Manager, Japan.

What You’ll Do

  • Pipeline Creation: Generate 4x pipeline coverage through strategic prospecting, multi‑threaded executive outreach, and field events; rely on partners only to accelerate, never to originate
  • Deal Leadership: Run Command‑of‑the‑Message cycles valued at $50K–$1M+ ARR, with average sales cycles of 6–9 months and complex global pursuits extending 12 months+
  • Qualification Discipline: Apply MEDDPICC from first call through close, validating metrics, paper process, and mutual success plans at every stage. No Champion? No deal
  • Forecast Accuracy: Inspect deals weekly in Salesforce, Gong and Outreach; commit within ±10% each month
  • Executive Engagement: Build C‑suite and board‑level relationships that turn risk‑reduction conversations into multi‑year platform agreements
  • Extremely strong ability to build relationships, prospect and qualify new opportunities via Pipeline Growth activities
  • Internal Orchestration: Lead cross‑functional teams (Sales Engineering, Product, Legal, Marketing, Channel) while remaining the single‑threaded owner from discovery to signature.
  • Overachievement: Consistently meet or surpass new‑logo ARR targets; leveraging uncapped accelerators and President’s Club trips
  • Cross Functional Partnership: Working closely with our OEM and Strategic partners in the region
  • Protect the security and privacy of Absolute and its customers
  • Other duties as assigned by management

What you'll need:

  • 10+ years of Enterprise cybersecurity SaaS hunting with verifiable seven‑figure new‑logo wins and repeat President’s Club/Top‑10 finishes
  • Fluent in MEDDPICC, Command of the Message, and mutual success plans
  • Proven ability to engage CISO, CIO, CTO, and board stakeholders and translate technical risk into business impact
  • High motor, coachable, intellectually curious, and thrives in a seller‑led, high‑accountability culture
  • Channel/Partner experience a plus, specifically with PC OEMs and Distributors/Resellers
  • Bilingual: Business level speaking and writing of Japanese and English is mandatory
  • Willingness to travel up to 30%.

What success looks like:

  • Achieve 100% or more of annual quota
  • Consistently maintain pipeline coverage greater than or equal to 3× and forecast variance within ±5%
  • Document reference customers and expansion potential in each closed account
  • Recognized internally for setting the standard in deal inspection, champion development, and competitive take‑outs

Rewards

  • Lucrative OTE, aggressive accelerators, and no commission cap
  • Sell a mission‑critical security platform protecting 21,000+ organizations worldwide
  • Best‑in‑class sales tech stack, Force Management enablement, and a culture that prizes grit, curiosity, and team wins

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
