Semperis is looking for an Enterprise Sales Director to accelerate growth across the DMV area to help more enterprise organizations strengthen cyber resilience through identity-first security.
This is a high-impact individual contributor opportunity for a proven enterprise seller who thrives on opening strategic conversations, building senior relationships, and converting complex opportunities into wins.

Trusted by some of the world’s largest enterprises and government agencies, Semperis brings deep expertise in protecting and recovering hybrid identity environments, including Active Directory, Entra ID, and Okta. As organizations navigate the AI era and increasingly complex identity risks, this is an exciting opportunity to lead with a distinctive platform in one of the most relevant and fast-moving areas of enterprise cybersecurity.
