Enterprise cybersecurity is broken. With billions spent annually, most enterprises deploy and manage hundreds of tools for incremental security gains. At Zip Security, our mission is to make enterprise cybersecurity reasonable—bundling and configuring streamlined, opinionated security tools to deliver real protection. We synchronize device management and application security under a single pane of glass. As APIs and new security data become available, we’re leading the change to create a full-stack, integrated security platform that puts users and outcomes first.
The RoleAs Zip Security’s first Sales Development Representative, you will own outbound prospecting to build pipeline and accelerate growth. You’ll engage senior executives and technical leaders at startups and SMBs via phone, email, and LinkedIn. You’ll craft targeted messaging, book qualified meetings, and collaborate closely with sales leadership, the founder, and cross-functional peers to shape process and strategy. You’ll work alongside a fast-moving, proven leader who sets ambitious goals, inspires your best work, and accelerates your growth. Our team is collaborative, supportive, and ambitious. We celebrate wins, tackle challenges together, and push each other to achieve more. You will take ownership, make an impact, and grow fast with a clear path to Account Executive, contributing to work that truly drives results and shapes the future of our company.

Represent Zip’s values and mission to prospects
We want someone who:
Has relentless drive, elite work ethic, and hunger for high performance
Is coachable — hungry to master sales fundamentals through feedback and repetition
Thrives in unstructured environments and solving problems proactively
Shows resilience and consistency, showing up ready regardless of challenges
Is low ego, humble, and highly motivated to learn, grow, and make a meaningful impact
Takes full ownership, works hard, figures things out, and thrives both independently and cross-functionally
We want our employees learn, grow, and have career satisfaction
We want to create a successful company – but not at the cost of culture. At Zip, we value each other, and want to create a culture where our people are not only “working in a fast-paced, challenging, environment” but are also (and more importantly) happy, learning, and able to contribute. We value succeeding as a collective.
We are a high autonomy, high trust organization that prioritizes thoughtful communication
No one likes being micromanaged. At Zip, we value autonomy and trust our employees to get the job done. We add communication here to emphasize that high autonomy and high trust doesn’t mean no support. At Zip supporting our employees and creating a great culture is a top priority. Thoughtful communication in tandem with high ownership is key to not just building a successful culture, but also external collaboration with customers and internal teams.
We value transparency, equity, and empathy.
Honest, empathetic feedback is kind. It gives your co-workers the opportunity to grow and become the best versions of themselves. At Zip, we value frequent, well-structured, fair feedback – feedback that directly relates activities to outcomes, and allows us all to move forward together, better.
We want to move fast, be flexible, but not break things:
We’re a start-up: we need to move fast, and be able to pivot at a moment’s notice. But we don’t want to break things, and want to balance being fast with being thoughtful and intentional about how we build our software.
We value balance
Whether it’s work/life balance or moving fast/building right balance, understanding the tradeoffs in a start-up and making sure to strike the right balance is necessary. We continuously evaluate our decisions in a data-driven way, and aim to make sure we’re always getting better.
We assume best intentions
We're a team working together to make enterprise cybersecurity easy. We'll face hard problems together, and assuming best intentions of coworkers is of utmost importance to building a great culture.
