About Iru

Iru is the AI-powered security & IT platform used by the world’s fastest-growing companies to secure their users, apps, and devices. Built for the AI era, Iru unifies identity & access, endpoint security & management, and compliance automation—collapsing the stack and giving IT & security time and control back.

Iru is backed by some of the smartest investors in tech—General Catalyst, Tiger Global, Felicis, Greycroft, and First Round Capital. In July 2024, Iru raised $100 million from General Catalyst, valuing the company at $850 million. Customers include Notion, Cursor, Lovable, Replit, and Mercor, and Iru partners with industry leaders such as ServiceNow and AWS. Iru was named to Forbes’ America’s Best Startup Employers 2025 list for employee engagement and satisfaction.

As a Director of Enterprise Sales at Iru, you will lead and scale a team of high-performing Enterprise Account Executives responsible for driving growth across EMEA. Each AE owns a segment of strategic accounts and is accountable for building pipeline, qualifying opportunities, and delivering against quarterly and annual revenue targets.

You will guide your team in helping customers understand how Iru’s AI-powered platform unifies UEM, EDR, Vulnerability Management, Compliance Automation, and Workforce Identity to simplify and secure modern IT and security operations.

This is a London-based leadership role, with an in-office presence Tuesday through Thursday. You will play a critical role in building Iru’s EMEA sales motion—elevating execution, developing talent, and establishing a strong regional presence in key markets.

Your focus will be on driving performance through consistent coaching, clear expectations, and a culture rooted in accountability and execution. You will model excellence in enterprise sales leadership—developing your team, navigating challenges quickly, and fostering a high-performance, high-trust environment.
