Our Opportunity

At Snyk, we're revolutionizing security for the world's fastest-growing development teams, and we need a Senior Sales Director to help lead this charge. This is an opportunity to scale and shape our Named Accounts team in North EMEA, driving high-impact enterprise sales in a space where demand is skyrocketing.

Unlike traditional security solutions, Snyk is developer-first, making it easier to sell, integrate, and drive adoption with companies of all sizes - from disruptive mid-market innovators to global powerhouses. You'll be leading strategic deal-making while influencing our broader go-to-market approach, working closely with leadership, and growing a team of top-tier Account Directors.

If you're looking for a high-growth, high-impact leadership role where you can shape strategy, close high-value deals, and build something transformative, this is it.

You'll Spend Your Time:

  1. Build and scale the Named Accounts team, mentoring and empowering Account Directors to exceed targets.
  2. Drive go-to-market strategy and execution, refining sales processes and identifying new revenue opportunities.
  3. Lead major deals with industry leaders, influencing security and DevSecOps adoption at global enterprises.
  4. Manage forecasting and pipeline reporting, ensuring data-driven decisions and predictable revenue growth.
  5. Recruit, develop, and retain top-tier sales talent in collaboration with Talent Acquisition.
  6. Partner cross-functionally with Product, Marketing, and Customer Success, ensuring alignment and impact.

What You'll Need:

  1. 7+ years leading high-performing enterprise sales teams, ideally in cybersecurity, DevSecOps, or developer tooling.
  2. Proven success driving multi-million-dollar deals in strategic, consultative sales environments.
  3. Expertise in managing both short and long sales cycles, balancing fast wins with long-term enterprise growth.
  4. A data-driven, results-oriented mindset, ensuring forecasting accuracy and pipeline predictability.
  5. A passion for scaling teams and coaching top-tier sales talent to maximize success.
  6. Resilience, adaptability, and a collaborative, one-team mentality in a high-growth environment.
  7. Strong executive presence and relationship-building skills, ensuring lasting customer partnerships.

We'd be Lucky if You:

  1. Have deep expertise in developer security, cybersecurity, or DevSecOps.
  2. Are innovative and curious, always looking for new ways to improve sales strategies.
  3. Bring a positive, team-first attitude and enjoy tackling challenges.
  4. Are passionate about helping customers modernize security without slowing down development.
