The posting

We're a product-first team on a mission to help grow the cybersecurity culture 🔐

We want to instill cybersecurity good practices to employees in a way that's actually effective, and entertaining enough so that employees don't feel like they're working. Think Duolingo but for cybersecurity.

We created a platform to easily rollout a cybersecurity awareness program: the platform sends chat-based 4-minutes long courses to teams. Following the courses, the other side of the platform simulates phishing attacks, to prepare employees to face hackers, but in a safe environment.

Created in 2020, Riot has raised $45m with leading investors (Y Combinator, Left Lane, Base10, Funders Club and First Capital) and is now protecting more than 2,000,000 employees in over 2,000 companies (including Intercom, Deel, and Deezer) all over the world.

Cybersecurity is everywhere. It's impacting everyone, everyday, and it's becoming the number one risk to any organization, whether it's a small business or a big firm. Yet, the cybersecurity culture in most companies is a disaster. Hackers are leveraging this by targeting the weakest link: the employees. We're on a mission to fix that.

About the role

What will you do 🤝

  • Build and execute Riot's US go-to-market strategy from scratch.
  • Localize positioning, pricing, and sales motion for the US market.
  • Identify the highest-leverage acquisition channels: direct sales, events, partnerships, paid acquisition.
  • Own and carry a US ARR target from day one: close early deals yourself while we build the sales team alongside you.
  • Drive pipeline through a mix of outbound, inbound, and network.
  • Recruit, structure, and lead Riot's US sales team.
  • Set performance frameworks, rituals, and a culture of accountability.
  • Act as the senior leadership presence on the ground for recruiting and culture.
  • Funnel US market intelligence and customer feedback to product and marketing.
  • Work closely with cofounders, sales leadership, and the team based in Paris (tech, product, customer success) to align strategy and resources.
  • Represent Riot externally with Benjamin: press, events, customer summits, partner meetings.

Who you are

  • The profile in one sentence: a hands-on sales leader with the product instincts of a founder and the GTM range to build a market from zero.
  • Former founder or builder mindset: you've started something, or built a team/market from scratch inside a startup. You know what it takes to create something from nothing
  • Sales-first: you don't just design the sales motion, you close deals yourself.
  • Product and marketing aware: you can write a 1-pager, craft a pitch deck, and iterate on messaging. You understand the product deeply enough to sell it creatively.
  • GTM track record: you've scaled a B2B SaaS market in the US, ideally from early revenue to meaningful ARR. No cybersecurity background required.
  • A leader people grow with: you've managed teams and know how to get the best out of people. Humble enough to listen, strong enough to set direction.

It will be a cultural fit if 🫂

  • You're a doer: not afraid to get your hands dirty and get things done
  • You have high standards: expect performance to be nothing short of the best
  • You are an enthusiastic at heart: exhibit passion and excitement over work

Why join us at Riot 💜

  • A booming market: cybersecurity is one of the fastest-growing sectors in tech, and attacks powered by IA have made the problem more urgent than ever.
  • Join a financially-healthy company: we're financially strong and highly capital-efficient. Fundraising fuels our momentum, enabling us to scale faster and unlock new growth opportunities.
  • Contribute to a fast-growing startup with a strong vision and high ambitions, backed by clear business goals. We've tripled our revenue over the past two years, and we plan to grow from €20M to €40M ARR in 2026.
  • Strong ownership: You're building the US market with a direct line to Benjamin (confounder & CEO) and full authority to make it happen.
  • Experience the energy of a collaborative team in our modern and cosy office located in heart of Manhattan.

Benefits

  • Competitive salary + Equity

  • 401k plan

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.
