The posting

At Materialise Software, we believe that better manufacturing starts with smarter, more connected workflows. If you’re passionate about helping companies make additive manufacturing more efficient, scalable, and reliable, you’ll love being a part of this team. Through the software we develop, organizations are managing the entire additive manufacturing process more efficiently and achieving the highest 3D printing standards.

As part of our continued growth and commercial evolution, we are looking for a Global Software Sales Director to lead the sales organization of our Software Business Unit.

This is a senior leadership role for a commercially strong and thoughtful leader who combines strategic vision with a hands-on understanding of how to build customer value, develop teams, and drive sustainable growth. You will lead our global commercial organization with a focus on strategic account development, growth within existing customers, and the ongoing evolution toward cloud and platform sales.

In this role, you will help shape the next phase of our software business by strengthening commercial excellence across regions, deepening executive-level customer relationships, and aligning sales efforts closely with marketing, product management, and partnerships.

You will be responsible for leading the global sales team consisting of:

  • The regional sales managers and their account manager teams
  • Sales Enablement, including Sales Engineering and Sales Operations

This role requires a strong commercial leader with experience in our industry or a closely related one, a relevant customer network, and a proven track record in strategic account development, key account growth, software sales transformation, and sales process implementation.

Your Responsibilities

  • Define and execute the global sales growth strategy for the Software Unit
  • Drive growth across strategic and existing customer accounts
  • Lead the transition toward platform, hybrid, and native cloud-oriented sales models
  • Build strong customer relationships at executive level
  • Lead and develop high-performing sales, sales engineering, and sales operations teams
  • Collaborate closely with Marketing on go-to-market execution, demand generation, and account-based approaches
  • Partner with Product Management and Partnerships to bring customer and market insights into product strategy and roadmap priorities
  • Ensure strong sales discipline in forecasting, pipeline management, and execution

Your Profile

  • Senior sales leadership experience (10–15 years minimum)
  • 5–10 years of experience in cloud/platform sales
  • Strong experience with strategic accounts and key account management
  • Proven success in growing business within existing accounts
  • Strong network in relevant customer segments is a major plus
  • Strong leadership experience across international teams
  • Ability to work cross-functionally with Sales, Marketing, Product, and other business stakeholders

At Materialise, we expect you to think about the customer, not just the task. You push for better solutions and care about the difference your work makes.

A people-centered space When you join Materialise, you join a group of colleagues invested in you, not just your work. From your own team to a department across the world, you’ll find a sense of belonging with people who help without being asked, challenge you, and have your back.

At the same time, we expect you to invest in the people around you — not just your own work — to make the group stronger than the sum of its parts.

An environment of trust As a company of innovators, we know how crucial autonomy is in your work. When we hire you, we trust in your expertise, giving you space to organize your tasks, work flexibly, and make your own calls.

At Materialise, we expect you to deliver on that trust and keep your commitments.

At Materialise, we expect you to take initiative in your own development. Don’t wait for someone else to plan your career. Step into the space and make it count.

Make a difference together with the Software team.

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.
