Description
DomainTools is looking for a talented Account Executive to accelerate our enterprise sales growth. The ideal candidate will be all at once a proven closer, a voracious pipeline builder and have a passion for technology.

You will be responsible for initiating relationships with current and prospective customers and employ effective selling strategies to successfully position DomainTools as a critical element in any corporation’s security architecture.
