Snyk is the leader in secure AI software development, helping millions of developers develop fast and stay secure as AI transforms how software is built. Our AI-native Developer Security Platform integrates seamlessly into development and security workflows, making it easy to find, fix, and prevent vulnerabilities — from code and dependencies to containers and cloud.
Our mission is to empower every developer to innovate securely in the AI era — boosting productivity while reducing business risk. We’re not your average security company - we build Snyk on One Team, Care Deeply, Customer Centric, and Forward Thinking.
It’s how we stay driven, supportive, and always one step ahead as AI reshapes our world.

- Influence product strategy by providing high-level feedback to internal departments based on complex customer needs and industry shifts.
- Drive customer engagement by hosting executive-level events and acting as a thought leader in the security industry.
- Execute complex account plans that factor in channel ecosystems, stakeholder coverage models, and shifting industry landscapes.
What You Bring:
- Extensive Sales Experience: Approximately 15+ years of enterprise sales experience, specifically owning the entire lifecycle for technical products at the Fortune 1000 level.
- Industry Expertise: Deep knowledge of the AppSec, Cybersecurity, or DevOps markets with a proven track record of closing million-dollar, multi-year transactions.
- Executive Presence: Impeccable ability to build and maintain relationships with the C-suite, CISO, and Engineering leadership.
- Strategic Orchestration: Skill in navigating complex organizations and leading virtual, cross-functional teams to tackle sophisticated sales cycles.
- Bias for Action: A mindset of "extreme ownership," resiliency in the face of challenges, and a consistent history of overachieving sales quotas.
