Who We Are

Verkada is the largest cloud-based B2B physical security platform company in the world. Only Verkada offers six product lines — video security cameras, access control, environmental sensors, alarms, workplace and intercoms — integrated with a single cloud-based software platform.
 
Designed with simplicity and scalability in mind, Verkada gives organizations the real-time insight to know what could impact the safety and comfort of people throughout their physical environment, while empowering them to take immediate action to minimize security risks, workplace frustrations and costly inefficiencies.
 
Founded in 2016 with more than $460M in funding raised to date, Verkada has expanded rapidly with 16 offices across three continents, 1,900+ full-time employees and 25,000+ customers across 70+ countries.

Verkada is building a world-class sales organisation and we are looking for an Account Executive to join our team in Japan. We prioritise drive and demonstrated success in whatever sales role you’ve been in before — we care far less about fancy pedigrees, schools, or a resume with “brand name” companies.

We have an excellent training program and a strong track record of helping people transition into the tech industry.

  • Maintain accurate pipeline management 
  • Work with channel partners to source and close deal

You have:

  • Full sales cycle experience in a quota-carrying capacity 
  • Highly effective communication skills, with the ability to build rapport, nurture relationships, and hold strong presentation skills
  • Hunger and drive to create your own business
  • A proven ability to exceed targets, and can articulate how you have ensured your own success

You are:

  • Fluent to at least business level in Japanese and English
  • A self-starter: You have discipline and drive 
  • Organised: You think and act logically to progress deals in volume
  • Curious: You want to understand your customers and their paint points
