Strategic Account Executive - MSSP EMEA
About Qevlar AI
Qevlar is a B2B SaaS scale-up on a mission to boost the productivity of cybersecurity teams with Artificial Intelligence. We build an AI platform that transitions Security Operations Centers from reactive to proactive units through autonomous security alert investigations.
In just two years, we have:
Raised a $14m initial round from EQT Ventures and Forgepoint Capital
Deployed our solution with major Enterprises such as Sodexo and GlobalConnect, and leading MSSPs like Orange Cyberdefense
Expanded to the US market with a growing North American presence
Ended 2025 with a strong multi-million dollar ARR and ambitious goals for 2026
We're looking for a Strategic Account Executive to build and expand MSSP partnerships in EMEA that generate multimillion-euro annual revenue, and position Qevlar as a long-term platform strategy enabler for MSSP, not just a point solution.
What will you do
First 6 months:
Build a €XM qualified MSSP pipeline (expansion + net new)
Deliver a structured expansion plan for at least two existing lighthouse MSSPs
Open executive-level conversations with at least one tier-1 MSSP
Drive measurable expansion revenue within existing partner(s)
By month 12:
Establish at least two MSSPs on a 5x ARR expansion trajectory with an active joint business plan
Convert 2-3 net-new tier-1 MSSPs into signed strategic partners
Shorten sales cycles through structured business case and executive alignment
You will have ownership over:
The full MSSP lifecycle in EMEA: pipeline, executive alignment, deal structure, negotiation, close, and expansion
Expansion strategy for key existing MSSPs
CEO/CRO-level business case development, tailored to MSSP economics
Joint business planning and revenue growth strategy
Who you are
You deeply understand how MSSPs make money: margin structure, bundling, service monetisation
You translate product capability into measurable partner P&L impact
You create structured joint business plans, not opportunistic deals
You build pipeline proactively and consistently
You operate comfortably at CEO/CRO level
You can:
Turn an existing MSSP into a multi-million-euro regional partner
Open and close tier-1 MSSPs in EMEA through executive access and disciplined strategy
Build and defend financial justification cases tied to partner economics
Align internal stakeholders around complex opportunities
Operate with urgency and accountability in a scaling environment
This role may NOT be right if you:
Depend primarily on pipeline generated by marketing
Avoid discussions on commercial deal structure
Are used to working at a slower pace, or lack structured pipeline discipline
