## Description

As a Strategic Account Executive for the Northeast region, you'll drive GitLab's enterprise growth by helping some of the area's most influential organisations adopt, implement, and expand their use of our AI-powered DevSecOps platform.

You'll focus on strategic enterprise accounts, guiding customers through complex digital and DevSecOps transformations and driving pipeline generation that translates into measurable Net ARR and long-term expansion.

In this role, you'll act as a key connector between customer stakeholders and GitLab's field organisation so GitLab is seen as a trusted, long-term partner across the full sales cycle.

In your first year, you'll be expected to build a strong enterprise portfolio across your territory, create repeatable sales motions, and consistently forecast and report on deal progress and account health.

Responsibilities:

- Drive strategic growth by leading GitLab's enterprise accounts across the Northeast, serving as a trusted technology advisor to industry leaders in your territory.

- Orchestrate winning sales strategies by bringing together Solutions Architects, Customer Success experts, Sales Development, Channel & Alliances, and other technical specialists to deliver transformative, AI-powered DevSecOps solutions.

- Shape the future of software development by crafting innovative solutions that align GitLab's platform with customers' long-term vision, compliance needs, and business objectives.

- Build deep, strategic partnerships by mastering your customers' industry landscape, success metrics, and growth trajectories so you can position GitLab as their indispensable technology ally.

- Design and execute strategic account plans, including opportunity mapping, stakeholder alignment, and multi-threaded engagement, to expand GitLab usage within new and existing major accounts.

- Lead end-to-end customer journeys from initial discovery through evaluation, negotiation, and successful implementation, ensuring a consistent, high-quality experience at every stage of the sales cycle.

- Champion continuous improvement by contributing to forecasting and pipeline reviews, conducting sophisticated win/loss analyses, and sharing strategic insights that refine our go-to-market approach.

- Prepare and deliver compelling customer-facing and internal presentations, proposals, and recommendations that clearly communicate value, business outcomes, and the path to long-term partnership with GitLab.

Requirements:

- Experience driving complex B2B software sales cycles with enterprise customers, ideally in DevSecOps, software development tools, or adjacent SaaS solutions.

- Background selling into large, strategic enterprise accounts in the Northeast United States, with the ability to build trusted C-level and senior stakeholder relationships across business and technical teams.

- Knowledge of the Northeast enterprise market, including key industries, buying centres, and decision-making dynamics, with the ability to build and nurture a relevant professional network.

- Ability to drive new business acquisition and expansion within enterprise accounts through consultative, multi-stakeholder sales motions that lead to sustainable, long-term customer partnerships.

- Experience collaborating with channel and strategic partners to generate pipeline, co-sell, and support successful customer adoption.
