Ready to secure the future of mobile apps?

If you’re a driven SDR with a passion for B2B SaaS, cybersecurity, technology, and international sales, we want to hear from you. Join Appknox and help us build the next phase of our global sales journey across the US and Europe.

A BIT ABOUT US

Appknox is a leading AI-native mobile application security platform trusted by enterprises around the world. Recognized by Gartner and G2, Appknox helps organizations secure mobile applications throughout their lifecycle through automated security testing, continuous monitoring, and actionable intelligence.

Headquartered in Singapore with engineering based in Bengaluru, Appknox serves customers across North America, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Japan, and India. Our customers include Fortune 500 companies, governments, financial institutions, and digital-first enterprises that rely on Appknox to secure their mobile ecosystem.

We are a profitable, fast-growing B2B SaaS company with a highly collaborative culture and ambitious plans to shape the future of application security in the AI era.

About The Role

Application security is undergoing a fundamental shift. AI is changing how software gets built, how vulnerabilities emerge, how security teams investigate and prioritise risk, and how enterprise buyers discover and evaluate security platforms.

Appknox has spent more than a decade building deep expertise in mobile application security. Our next chapter requires us to evolve both what Appknox stands for and how effectively we take that story to market.

We are looking for a hands-on Lead for GTM Marketing to translate Appknox’s product, positioning and business priorities into integrated go-to-market programmes that create awareness, engagement and pipeline.

You will lead the GTM marketing team and own demand generation, campaigns, ABM, website and conversion, organic discovery, content activation, field marketing and events. You will work as a peer to Product Marketing, partnering closely with Sales, Product and leadership to connect market strategy with disciplined execution.

This is not a role for someone who only manages agencies, runs isolated campaigns or waits to receive briefs. You will help determine where marketing should focus, challenge assumptions, build the operating plan, develop the team and remain close enough to execution to maintain a high quality bar.

What You Will Own

1. GTM strategy 

Translate Appknox’s product, positioning and revenue priorities into a focused GTM strategy, operating plan and measurable goals.

For each significant opportunity, help answer:

Who are we trying to influence? What problem matters to them? What do we want them to believe? What should we take to market? Through which channels? What commercial outcome should it create?

You will:

• Lead and develop the GTM marketing team, creating clarity around priorities, ownership, quality and performance.
• Build quarterly and annual GTM plans aligned with company, product and regional revenue priorities.
• Prioritise across markets, audiences, channels and opportunities rather than allowing every request to become a campaign.
• Manage relevant budgets, agencies and specialist partners.
• Establish clear operating rhythms across GTM Marketing, Product Marketing, Sales and Product.

2. Demand Generation and Integrated Campaigns

Build integrated programmes that create qualified demand and contribute meaningfully to pipeline.

You will:

• Own marketing-sourced and marketing-influenced pipeline targets, measurement and review rhythms.
• Design programmes across inbound, paid, organic, content, webinars, retargeting and emerging acquisition channels.
• Connect campaigns to defined audiences, customer problems, offers, conversion paths and commercial outcomes.
• Diagnose funnel performance and work with Sales and revenue operations to improve conversion.
• Identify successful GTM plays that can be repeated and scaled.

Success will be measured through qualified engagement, opportunity creation and progression, pipeline contribution and conversion-not campaign activity alone.

3. Account-Based and Segment GTM

Partner with Sales and Product Marketing to build focused programmes for priority accounts, industries, personas and regions.

You will:

• Identify segments and accounts where focused marketing can create disproportionate impact.
• Understand buying committees, account-level triggers and market-specific context.
• Work with Product Marketing to develop relevant narratives by segment and buyer.
• Design integrated ABM programmes, offers, landing experiences and content.
• Coordinate marketing engagement with SDR and sales outreach.
• Track account engagement, opportunity creation and progression.

At Appknox, ABM should combine account insight, buying committee, customer problem, narrative, offer and sales motion-not simply apply advertising to an account list.

4. Website, Organic Discovery and Conversion

Transform Appknox.com into an active GTM and experimentation engine.

You will own or drive:

• Information architecture and messaging activation.
• Product, use-case, industry, persona, regional and competitive pages.
• Campaign landing experiences and conversion paths.
• Website experimentation and performance measurement.
• SEO and evolving AI-led discovery across platforms such as ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity.

You will develop a measurement system connecting discoverability, relevance, engagement, conversion and pipeline. Traffic, rankings and AI mentions alone are not success.

5. Product Launches and Market Activation

Partner with Product Marketing and Product to take new capabilities and products to market.

Product Marketing will lead customer insight, ICP definition, positioning, competitive differentiation and product narrative. You will lead GTM planning and activation across campaigns, website, content, distribution, organic discovery, sales activation, field programmes and amplification.

This is not a downstream handoff. You will participate in launch strategy, contribute market and performance insight, and help test whether the positioning works when exposed to buyers.

6. Content and Thought Leadership

Lead the GTM content agenda and the team responsible for bringing it to life.

You will:

• Determine what Appknox should talk about based on customer problems, market shifts, buyer demand and the company’s strategic point of view.
• Guide the development of category narratives, research-led content, technical thought leadership, competitive content, executive communications and campaign assets.
• Build content distribution into every major initiative rather than treating publication as the finish line.
• Maintain a consistently high standard of clarity, substance and differentiation.

Every significant content investment should answer: Who are we trying to influence? What belief are we trying to change? What should happen after they consume it?

7. Field Marketing and Events

Own the GTM strategy and marketing execution for priority industry events, executive programmes, regional activations and field initiatives.

You will:

• Select and prioritise events based on target audiences, market objectives and commercial potential.
• Build pre-event, onsite and post-event motions with Sales.
• Develop programmes that create meetings, progress target accounts and deepen customer and partner relationships.
• Establish consistent measurement for event-sourced and event-influenced pipeline.
• Balance global consistency with the realities of different regions and sales motions.

8. Market Intelligence and Experimentation

Work with Product Marketing to continuously monitor competitor positioning, market narratives, buyer behaviour, campaign signals, organic discovery and emerging security themes.

Product Marketing will lead the strategic implications for positioning and product. You will ensure relevant market and performance signals translate rapidly into GTM action.

Work Expectations

First 60 days

• Understand Appknox’s market, customers, product portfolio, team, current GTM programmes, website funnel, organic presence and competitive landscape.
• Establish performance baselines and clarify team ownership and operating rhythms.
• Identify the three to five highest-leverage GTM opportunities or leaks.
• Build the initial GTM and experimentation roadmap.

Within 90 days

• One or two repeatable account, segment or regional GTM plays.
• Faster and more disciplined website and campaign experimentation.
• Better coordination across GTM Marketing, Product Marketing, Sales and Product.
• Clearer visibility into which channels, narratives and programmes influence pipeline.
• A repeatable system for taking new products and market narratives to market.

Personality Traits We Admire

• Strategic thinker with strong execution skills.
• Curious, commercially minded, and customer obsessed.
• Comfortable with ambiguity and fast-moving environments.
• Strong collaborator who can influence cross-functional teams.
• Excited by AI and emerging technologies.
• Eager to build and grow with the company over the long term.

What We Are Looking For

• 7–10 years of B2B SaaS marketing experience, ideally within technical SaaS, cybersecurity or enterprise software.
• Experience leading or managing a marketing team, with the ability to set direction, develop people and maintain a strong execution bar.
• Demonstrated ownership of integrated GTM programmes and measurable pipeline outcomes.
• Strong understanding of product positioning and messaging, with the ability to turn strategy into market-facing activation.
• Experience working closely with Sales on demand generation, ABM, field marketing or regional programmes.
• Strong digital and website fundamentals, including conversion optimisation and organic discovery. Familiarity with AEO and GEO is valuable, but deep SEO specialisation is not required.
• Ability to understand technically complex products and simplify them without losing substance.
• Strong analytical capability and a desire to understand why a metric moved—not simply report that it did.
• Excellent writing, storytelling and communication skills.
• Ability to move between strategic thinking, team leadership and hands-on execution.
• Comfort operating in ambiguity, making trade-offs and building systems where none currently exist.
• Low ego, high ownership and the confidence to challenge assumptions constructively.

A BIT ABOUT US:

Appknox is a leading mobile application security platform, recognised by Gartner and consistently top-rated on G2. Headquartered in Singapore with operations in Bangalore, we help enterprises ship secure mobile applications, fast.

We’ve secured mobile apps for 300+ enterprises globally, including Fortune 500 brands across India, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and the US. As a profitable, bootstrapped B2B SaaS company, we combine startup agility with financial discipline.

Our 65+ member team is building something meaningful at the intersection of cybersecurity and developer experience. If you thrive in fast-paced, high-ownership environments, read on.

The Role : 

This is a full-cycle, outbound-led, own-your-territory sales role across APAC’s highest-growth markets.

You’ll sell into mid-market and enterprise accounts in regulated industries, BFSI, fintech, telecom, SaaS platforms, and digital-first businesses. Your buyers are CISOs, VP Engineering, Product Security leads, and DevSecOps teams. These are sharp, technical stakeholders who won’t tolerate a scripted pitch.

You’ll report to the Head of Sales for APAC and work alongside experienced AEs. But make no mistake, this is your number, your territory, your pipeline.

What You’ll Own

End-to-End Revenue:

• Drive the complete sales cycle: lead generation, discovery, product demos, proposal submissions, contract negotiation, close, and collections
• Build and maintain a strong pipeline to meet or exceed revenue targets across ANZ, SEA and India
• Deliver compelling demos that connect Appknox’s capabilities directly to the prospect’s security pain points, not feature walkthroughs
• Navigate multi-stakeholder buying committees with confidence: map power, build champions, handle procurement

Pipeline That You Built :

• Generate your own pipeline through outbound prospecting, cold calls, targeted email sequences, LinkedIn, and account-based plays
• Proactively assess, clarify, and validate client needs to ensure high-quality conversions, not just meetings
• Track market trends, competitor moves, and buying signals to prioritise the right accounts at the right time

Client Relationships That Last

• Develop trusted advisor relationships with key stakeholders and executive sponsors in client organisations
• Handle RFI/RFPs, SOWs, and commercial proposals with precision and speed

APAC Market Expertise

• Tailor messaging and deal strategy to each sub-region, ANZ, SEA and India have different buyers, cycles, and compliance landscapes
• Understand frameworks like APRA, MAS, and PDPA and position Appknox as the compliance-ready security partner
• Adapt to varied cultural preferences and stakeholder dynamics, the same pitch doesn’t work in Singapore and Sydney

Cross-Functional GTM Impact

• Partner with Marketing on ABM plays, campaign follow-ups, and content-driven outreach
• Work with Product and Security teams on technical validation and complex deal support
• Feed frontline insights back into ICP definitions, messaging, and go-to-market strategy
• Maintain rigorous CRM hygiene in HubSpot, pipeline stages, deal notes, and forecasting accuracy are non-negotiable

What We’re Looking For:

Experience & Background

• 5-8 years in B2B SaaS sales as a quota-carrying Account Executive 
• Proven track record of exceeding targets, bring your numbers, we’ll talk about them
• Full-cycle deal ownership, you’ve prospected, demoed, negotiated, closed, and collected
• Enterprise sales DNA, you understand long deal cycles, multi-threaded selling, and procurement
• Outstanding communication, you can hold your own in a room with a CISO, a CFO, and a procurement lead simultaneously

Strong Preferences

• Experience selling into APAC markets (ANZ, SEA and India); US/Europe exposure is also valued
• Background in cybersecurity, developer tools, infrastructure SaaS, or security-adjacent products
• Comfortable with high-volume outbound alongside strategic account-based selling
• Hunter mentality, you don’t wait for leads, you create them
• Fluent English (additional APAC languages are a genuine advantage)

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive base salary + performance-based commissions aligned with industry benchmarks
• Comprehensive medical insurance for you and your family
• Corporate NPS (pension) enrolment for long-term financial security
• Wellness perks: Gym membership, Mental health support
• Flexible hybrid work model with trust-based autonomy
• Continuous learning: on-the-job training, professional courses, mentorship from senior leaders
• Direct access to the CEO, CRO, and CMO, not five layers of middle management.

Interview Process

• Round 0: Profile Screening- HR
• Round 1: Conversation with Head of Sales - APAC
• Round 2: Sales Assignment
• Round 3: Interview with CSO 
• Round 4: Interview with CEO
• Round 5: HR Discussion & Offer
