“We’re building the future of video streaming across EMEA - combining high-impact hunting with strategic account growth to deliver unmatched commercial results. If you’re ready to help shape the industry and make a real impact, join us.” Barney Withers Green, SVP, Sales & Business Development, EMEA & APAC

At Bitmovin we value cognitive diversity and the huge part this plays in not only creating a global culture second to none, but in how this underpins our ability to create truly representative, Emmy award winning products. Diversity in all its forms is encouraged and celebrated at Bitmovin; everyone has a role to play in helping us shape the future of video.

Why us?

Bitmovin is rapidly growing with significant market opportunity, and we are looking for talented and self driven individuals to take Bitmovin to the next level.

Following an exciting evolution of our commercial structure, we are seeking an exceptional, commercially driven Sales Director to accelerate revenue growth, develop strategic opportunities, and strengthen our presence across key EMEA markets.

This role uniquely combines high-impact new business development with strategic ownership of key customer relationships. Supported by designated Account Managers and Customer Success resources for day-to-day management, you will be empowered to focus on winning new logos, driving strategic cross-sell, and engaging executives across the region. With our full support and coaching, you will pave your own path, collaborating with our global teams to shape the future of media and streaming.

This is an opportunity that offers:

  • Opportunity to shape the streaming and video technology strategies of leading EMEA Media & Entertainment companies
  • A hybrid role balancing high-velocity new business acquisition with strategic key account ownership
  • Selling market-leading products (Live Encoding, VOD Encoding, Player, Observability) alongside top Cloud Partners and System Integrators
  • Autonomy, international collaboration, flexible working, and regional travel (~50%).

Your Impact

As Director, Sales & Key Accounts, you will be at the forefront of powering the next generation of digital video across EMEA. Your mission is to fuel Bitmovin’s expansion by acquiring game-changing new logos and driving high-value strategic growth across priority markets, including the UK, DACH, and selected CEE & MENA regions.

  • Operating within the global GTM and partner strategy to define and execute local initiatives in media, streaming, and OTT markets.
  • Driving direct enterprise sales with full sales cycle ownership, including multi-year SaaS agreements and platform licensing deals.
  • Enabling customers to adopt Bitmovin solutions in the way that best fits their business — direct, partner-led, or cloud/video platform routes.
  • Identifying, onboarding, and enabling local partners to drive net-new revenue and new customer wins.
  • Collaborating with local and global teams (solutions engineering, customer success, partner teams) to support adoption and partner success.
  • Providing market insights, competitor intelligence, and recommendations on product, pricing, and GTM strategy.
  • Tracking pipeline, revenue, and partner acquisition KPIs to measure impact and improve conversion rates across channels.

What competencies can you bring

  • Industry Expertise: Proven success selling software/technology into broadcasters, OTT platforms, or video infrastructure (CDN, adtech, broadcast tech)
  • Drive & Accountability: Track record of originating, closing complex enterprise sales, and consistently exceeding revenue goals
  • Relationship Building: Established network of technical and commercial decision-makers across EMEA media and streaming ecosystems
  • Technical Acumen: Solid grasp of streaming workflows, technical ecosystems, and enterprise buying processes
  • Proactive Ownership: Self-driven, highly autonomous pipeline builder focused on results and execution
  • Strategic Influence: Confident navigating high-value negotiations and engaging senior executive stakeholders
  • Collaboration & Adaptability: Open to feedback and skilled at partnering across cross-functional teams to drive collective success

What Success Looks Like

First 6 Months:

  • Establish strong relationships with priority customers, prospects, and internal stakeholders
  • Build a clear territory plan and strategic business development roadmaps for target regions
  • Develop a healthy, self-generated pipeline of qualified opportunities
  • Identify and progress strategic cross-sell opportunities within assigned key accounts

First 12 Months:

  • Deliver against agreed net-new ARR and strategic cross-sell targets
  • Demonstrate consistent pipeline generation and enterprise deal progression
  • Establish meaningful new customer relationships across priority EMEA markets
  • Maintain strong executive engagement and strategic oversight of assigned key accounts
  • Operate independently with rigorous forecasting discipline and commercial accountability
