Web3 Account Executive, Enterprise ($250K–$300K)

About Sherlock

Cybersecurity is the most important challenge of the superintelligence era.

Sherlock's mission is to secure the worldwide, uncensorable financial system that billions of humans and agents will use in the future.

Sherlock offers the full security lifecycle for blockchain code: code security reviews, Audit Engine (AI + human security competitions), bug bounty programs, operational security reviews + hardening, managed detection and response, and incident response.

Sherlock's network of 10,000+ security researchers and 50+ custom AI approaches find vulnerabilities that others miss. Ethereum, Ripple, Aave, Morpho, Tempo and the biggest crypto teams in the world choose Sherlock for their security needs.

Sherlock's Culture

Sherlock's culture is fast-moving, intense, and not right for everyone. Here are some common attributes among historically successful team members at Sherlock:

Mission-focus

Anyone in this for reasons other than creating the most secure financial coordination system in history will either get too demotivated to last through multi-year bear markets or get too distracted during the frothy bull markets.

Willingness to work long, hard and smart

If Sherlock has any advantage, it is the willingness to work harder and think with more discipline than anyone else. This includes thinking from first principles about all important decisions and always thinking in tradeoffs and bets.

Owner mentality

Team members get ownership in Sherlock after a short time in this role, and each is expected to act like an owner of a three-Michelin-star restaurant where no detail is too small.

Builder mentality

Everyone at Sherlock is deep in the arena getting their hands dirty and this is a vulnerable position. There are no pure "idea people" or pure managers at Sherlock; everyone is in execution mode first and foremost.

Customer focus

It is too easy to sit behind a computer and build in an echo chamber. We go out of our way to experience the customer's viewpoint as often as possible.

Professional athlete mentality

Professional athletes opt into a high-performance, meritocratic culture. This creates an environment that brings out the best in people and rewards each for their respective performance. But it's also an environment where being in the 70th percentile in your role means you will have a short tenure on the team.

Comfort with directness and transparency

We are comfortable giving direct feedback to others and receiving direct feedback ourselves. "Not ruffling feathers" often comes at the expense of moving in a suboptimal direction for too long. Sherlock is extremely transparent internally (and with customers) which means you can get involved in decisions made in any part of Sherlock.

The Role

We're hiring an Account Executive to bring institutional and enterprise customers to Sherlock: institutional-focused DeFi protocols, financial institutions with digital-asset teams, and fintechs and platforms with crypto exposure. You'll find these teams, get to their decision-makers, and close large security deals with them.

If you're serious about applying for this job and you've read this far, please email artemy at sherlock dot xyz with 4-sentence answers to each of these three questions: What is the largest deal you personally closed, and how did you reach the person who signed it? How would you get into one institution that should be buying security from Sherlock? Why should Sherlock select you over hundreds of other applicants?

Day to day

With that in mind, the day-to-day responsibilities of this role include:
