About The Role

As an Account Director Enterprise at Qualys, you will be responsible for driving growth and expanding relationships with our most strategic enterprise customers across the UK & Ireland. In this overlay role, you will partner closely with our Technical Account Managers (TAMs), who manage day-to-day account health and technical relationships. While TAMs often have strong operational and technical contacts, your focus will be to broaden and elevate engagement into the business and executive levels — helping customers connect cybersecurity investments to measurable risk reduction and financial impact.
