Cybersecurity AE at Huntress - MSP Sales Career UK in Columbus
Career & Market Insight
Compensation & Market Positioning: A £55k base with £110k OTE is competitive for a mid-market SaaS Account Executive in the UK cybersecurity space. Industry benchmarks for this level typically range from £50k–£70k base with OTEs of £90k–£130k, so Huntress sits solidly in the market. The addition of equity is a meaningful upside given Huntress's growth trajectory as a well-funded, high-growth cybersecurity vendor.
Skills & Career Development: This role develops highly transferable, in-demand skills:
- Channel/MSP sales expertise — MSP-focused sales is a specialized, growing niche within cybersecurity with strong demand.
- Nordic market knowledge — regional enterprise sales expertise is a career differentiator.
- AI-augmented selling — the explicit expectation to use AI tools signals a forward-thinking sales culture that will keep your skills current.
- Full-cycle, consultative SaaS sales — always in demand across the tech sector.
Culture & Growth Signals: Founded 2015, mission-driven, and protecting 5M+ endpoints — Huntress is in a strong growth phase, not an early-stage startup.

Founded in 2015 by former NSA cyber operators, Huntress protects all businesses—not just the 1%—with enterprise-grade, fully owned, and managed cybersecurity products at the price of an affordable SaaS application. The Huntress difference is our One Team advantage: our technology is designed with our industry-defining Security Operations Center (SOC) in mind and is never separated from our service.
