Devops jobs in United Kingdom

Introduction

The Strategic and Enterprise Accounts Sales team at HashiCorp - now part of IBM's Automation Software group - drives adoption of HashiCorp's enterprise infrastructure automation products within Global 2000 enterprises. Our primary focus is on HashiCorp's Terraform (infrastructure-as-code provisioning) and Vault (secrets management) solutions, industry-leading tools for multi-cloud automation and security lifecycle management.

Following IBM's acquisition of HashiCorp, the HashiCorp industry-leading solutions have been integrated with IBM's broader software automation portfolio to deliver end-to-end cloud infrastructure and security automation for clients.

With HashiCorp's proven success in multi-cloud environments and IBM's global reach and enterprise relationships, our combined team is well-positioned to help enterprises accelerate innovation and strengthen cloud governance. In Germany, our Strategic Account Managers play a pivotal role in expanding HashiCorp's footprint in large enterprise accounts, aligning with IBM's enterprise go-to-market approach of integrated solution selling and long-term partnership.

We follow HashiCorp's ALEER go-to-market framework - Adopt, Land, Expand, Extend, Renew - to guide customer lifecycle and growth. This means driving initial adoption and value (Adopt/Land), expanding usage across teams and use-cases (Expand/Extend), and ensuring customer success and renewals. As part of this team, you will collaborate closely with internal stakeholders and IBM teams to navigate complex enterprise sales cycles and deliver transformative automation solutions to our customers.

HashiCorp embraces diversity and equal opportunity. We are committed to building a team that represents a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills. We believe the more inclusive we are, the better our company will be.
