Co-Founder & Chief Revenue Officer

Job description

Co-founder & Chief Revenue Officer / Head of Sales North America  

Remote-friendly | Equity Only (Initial Phase)

Two roles: London (UK) and East Coast (USA)

Astragar is a cybersecurity and risk management startup building one of the industry’s most advanced platforms for vulnerability risk quantification, data risk management, and GRC automation.

Our guiding philosophy: Threats only matter when they can exploit a vulnerability in your environment.

Our flagship SaaS product empowers organisations to prioritise and remediate vulnerabilities based on real-world business impact, not just CVSS scores. By integrating with existing scanners (like Tenable or Qualys) and applying proprietary quantification logic, Astragar translates raw findings into financial risk — giving CISOs and CFOs a shared language to act decisively.

With a working MVP, a warm sales pipeline (including a global Top-5 insurance broker, a $50B private equity firm, and multiple banks and fintechs), we’re now hiring a mission-aligned Co-founder & CRO to help us scale revenue.

What We’ve Built:

• VRM platform: Quantifies vulnerabilities by financial impact
• DRM MVP: Detects and prioritises data risks in context ( (live with a major international bank’s US operations)
• GRC + SecOps services: powerful solutions,built with trusted delivery partners
• Initial customers:  Global Bank (US operations), Japanese Bank( US operations)
• Backed by: Former CISOs, fintech leaders, and GTM experts — including Craig Shrader (former CISO, HSBC Canada) and David Piesse (specialist in cyber liability, catastrophe modelling, and blockchain for risk and insurance)

What We’re Looking For:

A driven, high-trust individual with:

• Proven experience in cybersecurity or GRC sales leadership
• Start-up DNA: scrappy, strategic, and execution-focused
• Comfort navigating enterprise sales cycles (CISOs, CTOs, Boards)
• Willingness to go all-in for equity at the early stage
• Desire to co-create sales playbooks, pricing, channels, and GTM motion

Why Join Now?

• You’ll help shape and own the revenue narrative for a category-defining platform
• Massive upside: generous founding equity + attractive OTE commissions
• We’ve already done the hard work – tech validated, market engaged
• Work directly with ex-MetricStream, ex-BNPP, ex-Barclays leadership
• VC interest + revenue traction in progress
