An overview of this role

Aa Senior Account Executive, you’ll be the primary connection between GitLab and our Commercial & Enterprise customers, working with organizations of up to 4,000 team members to help them adopt and expand the world’s most comprehensive AI-powered DevSecOps platform. You’ll own a broad book of business across a wide range of opportunity sizes, guiding small, fast-growing teams as well as more complex projects as they modernize their software delivery with GitLab. Reporting to an Area Sales Manager and partnering closely with business development, marketing, and technical teams, you’ll run the full sales process: shaping the customer’s journey, documenting buying criteria and processes, ensuring accurate pipeline based on evidence, and sharing root-cause insights on wins and losses. In your first year, you’ll focus on building trusted relationships, delivering meaningful business outcomes for customers, and being the voice of the customer internally by contributing ideas to our public issue tracker and improving our sales handbook.

What you’ll do

  • Report to an Regional Sales Director and own a broad book of Commercial & Enterprise business, from new prospects to growing existing accounts.
  • Manage the full sales cycle for Commercial & Enterprise prospects, from discovery and solution alignment through negotiation and close.
  • Support GitLab for Commercial & Enterprise prospects by clearly articulating our DevSecOps value proposition and aligning it to customer business outcomes.
  • Analyze wins and losses, contribute to root cause analyses, and share lessons learned with account managers, marketing, and technical teams.
  • Document and maintain accurate buying criteria, buying processes, next steps, and owners to ensure a reliable, evidence-based pipeline.
  • Contribute to improving our sales handbook and processes by documenting best practices and opportunities for refinement.
  • Provide account leadership and direction across pre- and post-sales, partnering closely with technical teams and customer success.
  • Represent the voice of the customer by contributing product feedback and ideas to our public issue tracker.

What you’ll bring

  • Proven success in software sales, ideally in a Enterprise market context, managing a varied book of business.
  • Ability to guide customers through the full buying journey, including defining buying criteria, mapping buying processes, and driving clear next steps.
  • Effective communication and interpersonal skills to collaborate with business development, marketing, technical teams, and sales management.
  • Experience documenting and maintaining accurate pipeline data and account plans based on evidence rather than assumptions.
  • Skill in conducting and contributing to win/loss and root cause analyses, and sharing insights to improve team performance and processes.
  • Proficiency in negotiation, presenting to customer stakeholders, and leading commercial discussions to close opportunities.
  • Interest in GitLab, open source software, and preferably familiarity with Git, software development tools, or application lifecycle management.
  • Alignment with GitLab’s values and an interest in contributing from diverse or transferable sales backgrounds, with willingness to travel in line with company policy.

About the team

The Commercial & Enterprise Sales team focuses on helping growing organizations adopt and expand GitLab’s AI-powered DevSecOps platform across their software delivery lifecycle. You’ll join a distributed group of Account Executives, sales managers, and business development team members who collaborate asynchronously across regions to manage a broad book of business in the mid-market segment. We partner closely with marketing, sales development, and technical teams to run an efficient, transparent sales process, document what works in our sales handbook, and represent the voice of the customer back into GitLab. We focus on opportunities like supporting customers through toolchain consolidation, driving platform adoption, and sharing learnings from wins and losses to continuously improve how we sell and support GitLab.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
