A leading software development company in the UK is looking for an experienced Strategic Account Executive to manage a portfolio of large enterprise customers. In this role, you will drive new customer acquisition and expand relationships with existing accounts using a consultative sales approach. Your responsibilities include leading complex sales cycles, working closely with various teams, and tailoring strategies to customer needs. This position offers a dynamic remote working environment where your contributions are valued.
GitLab is an open‑core software company that develops the most comprehensive AI‑powered DevSecOps Platform, used by more than 100,000 organizations. Our mission is to enable everyone to contribute to and co‑create the software that powers our world. When everyone can contribute, consumers become contributors, significantly accelerating human progress. Our platform unites teams and organizations, breaking down barriers and redefining what’s possible in software development. Thanks to products like Duo Enterprise and Duo Agent Platform, customers get AI benefits at every stage of the SDLC.
The same principles built into our products are reflected in how our team works: we embrace AI as a core productivity multiplier, with all team members expected to incorporate AI into their daily workflows to drive efficiency, innovation, and impact. GitLab is where careers accelerate, innovation flourishes, and every voice is valued. Our high‑performance culture is driven by our values and continuous knowledge exchange, enabling our team members to reach their full potential while collaborating with industry leaders to solve complex problems. Co‑create the future with us as we build technology that transforms how the world develops software.
As a Strategic Account Executive, you’ll own a portfolio of strategic and large enterprise customers and prospects in the UK, helping them realize the full value of GitLab’s AI‑powered DevSecOps platform. You’ll solve real business problems for senior stakeholders by breaking into net new enterprise accounts and expanding adoption within existing customers, using a consultative sales approach to connect their priorities with GitLab’s DevSecOps and AI capabilities. You’ll lead full‑cycle, complex deals, collaborate closely with pre- and post‑sales teams and strategic channel partners, and act as the voice of your customers by sharing their feedback and product ideas through GitLab’s public issue tracker. In your first year, you’ll be expected to build and execute focused account plans, establish a healthy, qualified pipeline, and drive successful evaluations and rollouts that set the foundation for long‑term growth across your territory.
You’ll join a regional Strategic Sales team that focuses on GitLab’s largest and most complex customers in the UK. You’ll work closely with Solutions Architects, Customer Success, Support, and channel partners in a fully remote, asynchronous environment, using GitLab itself to plan, track, and document work across regions. We’re focused on helping enterprise customers standardize on GitLab at scale, navigate complex buying centers, and build long‑term partnerships that align GitLab’s roadmap with customers’ business and technology goals.
GitLab hires new team members in countries around the world. All of our roles are remote, however some roles may carry specific location‑based eligibility requirements. Our Talent Acquisition team can help answer any questions about location after starting the recruiting process.
