This role offers the opportunity to own a full sales cycle - from prospecting to close - while working cross-functionally with teams who are invested in your success. If you're a motivated, curious, and collaborative seller looking to make a real impact, we'd love to hear from you.
In this role you will:

  • Build and nurture relationships with prospects and existing customers, positioning Rapid7's solutions in a way that resonates with their unique challenges
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with teams like Sales Engineering, Customer Success, Marketing, and Sales Ops to deliver a seamless customer experience
  • Stay current and competitive by keeping up with industry trends, customer feedback, and competitor offerings - and using those insights to shape your approach
  • Support ongoing growth by identifying upsell opportunities and helping customers get long-term value from their investments
  • Communicate effectively both internally and externally, ensuring accurate forecasting and CRM hygiene through tools like Salesforce
  • Leverage channel partnerships by working closely with our Value Added Resellers and partner ecosystem


The skills you'll bring include:

  • 2+ years of B2B sales experience with a track record of success in driving new business and growing existing accounts
  • Ability to manage a high-volume book of business with focus and prioritisation
  • Strong communication and relationship-building skills - you're comfortable being a trusted advisor
  • A creative and proactive approach to sourcing new opportunities and navigating complex sales cycles
  • Comfort working independently while also collaborating in a team-oriented, fast-paced environment
  • Curiosity and a growth mindset - you're always learning and open to feedback
  • Familiarity with Salesforce or similar CRM tools
  • Experience working with channel partners or Value Added Resellers is a plus
  • Willingness to travel up to 10% for customer meetings as needed


The opportunity:

  • You'll be surrounded by smart, supportive teammates who care about your success
  • We provide training, tools, and mentorship to help you grow and reach your goals
  • You'll have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact in a company that values innovation, customer obsession, and inclusivity
  • We celebrate diverse backgrounds and perspectives, because we know that's where the best ideas come from


We Encourage You to Apply

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
