We’re looking for an experienced and driven AVP of Sales to help take our momentum to the next level. This is not your average sales Leadership  role. You’ll be on the front lines of one of cybersecurity’s most transformative companies, partnering with some of the most advanced and security-conscious enterprises in the world. If you love the thrill of landing high-impact deals and being part of something big, keep reading.

Our Mission: To stop the exploitation of vulnerabilities, everywhere.

What makes us different: Zafran de-risks 90% of critical vulnerabilities overnight across an organization's hybrid environment and utilizes Agentic Capabilities and our customers  existing security tools to rapidly mitigate and remediate the 10% most likely to be exploited.

​​Who’s behind us: Zafran is backed by Sequoia Capital, Cyberstarts, Menlo Ventures, and a deep belief that cybersecurity should move as fast as attackers do. We’re one of the fastest-growing companies in the industry, scaling to meet demand from the world’s most advanced, security-obsessed organizations.
