Channel Account Manager - East

The security perimeter keeps moving. First it was the network, then the endpoint, then identity. Now it’s the AI and SaaS decisions employees make every day: the tools they adopt, the data they connect, and the agents they build. Nudge Security is the workforce security platform for AI, SaaS, and identity, built for this new perimeter.

Find it. Govern it. Fix it. We discover every app, account, and AI agent, approved or not. We set guardrails for how they’re used. And where most tools stop at an alert, Nudge works directly with employees to fix the risk without slowing them down.

More than 250 organizations trust Nudge, and over 95% of them stay. Founded in 2021 by Russell Spitler and Jaime Blasco, we’re backed by Ballistic Ventures, Forgepoint Capital, Cerberus Ventures, and Squadra Ventures, and we closed a $22M Series A in November 2025.
