Director, Strategic Sales - West

Role Overview 

1Kosmos is seeking a Strategic Sales Director – West to lead and accelerate commercial growth across a defined set of target verticals and the broader Western United States. This is a senior individual contributor and market development role for someone who can carry a complex, six- and seven-figure enterprise sales cycle from first conversation to signed contract, and who can operate credibly with CISO, CIO, and procurement stakeholders across industries where identity fraud and credential-based breaches carry direct financial and operational risk. 

1Kosmos has built significant momentum across identity verification and passwordless authentication. On the identity verification side, deployments span patient and customer onboarding, account recovery, and step-up verification for high-risk transactions. On the authentication side, the platform delivers passwordless access for enterprise workforce users and shared/frontline workstations alike, using facial biometrics, FIDO2 hardware keys, and passkeys. This combination, verified identity carried into reusable, passwordless authentication, sits on top of a customer's existing identity infrastructure rather than replacing it. 

1Kosmos was named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Identity Verification, holding the highest product score for workforce use cases for the second consecutive year, and is recognized as a leader in passwordless authentication
