Sonatype is the software supply chain security company. We provide the world's best end-to-end software supply chain security solution, combining the only proactive protection against malicious open source, the only enterprise grade SBOM management and the leading open source dependency management platform. This empowers enterprises to create and maintain secure, quality, and innovative software at scale.
As founders of Nexus Repository and stewards of Maven Central, the world's largest repository of Java open-source software, we are software pioneers and our open source expertise is unmatched. We empower innovation with an unparalleled commitment to build faster, safer software and harness AI and data intelligence to mitigate risk, maximize efficiencies, and drive powerful software development.
Sonatype is accelerating the future of agentic software development.

Our Nexus One platform enables development, security and platform engineering teams to govern the components, dependencies, models and artifacts that power modern software—without slowing innovation.
We believe software supply chain security will become one of the defining enterprise technology categories of the AI era.
Sonatype is uniquely positioned to lead that transformation.

We're growing profitably, investing aggressively, and executing against a clear ambition to reach $500 million in revenue by ****.
This is where the next chapter begins.

This is far more than a regional leadership role.

The market is changing rapidly.
AI is accelerating software development.
Enterprise customers are reassessing how they secure their software supply chains.

You'll lead a team of Enterprise Account Executives responsible for winning complex Global **** organisations, creating predictable pipeline, coaching world-class enterprise sales execution and building the culture that defines how Sonatype wins.
This isn't a role for someone looking to manage an existing business.
It's for someone excited by building the next one.

It's measured by the organisation you leave behind.
You'll build:
A High-Performance Sales Culture

One built on accountability, coaching, collaboration and continuous improvement.
An Outbound Mindset

Historically, much of our success has been driven by strong inbound demand.

Fortune 500 organisations
Global **** buying centres

Platform Selling

Customers increasingly buy platforms rather than products.

Protect what comes in.
Protect what you build.
Protect what you deploy.
You'll coach expansion thinking rather than transactional selling.
Operational Excellence

High-performing sales organisations are predictable.
You'll establish disciplined operating rhythms around:
Forecasting
Pipeline inspections
Deal reviews
MEDDPICC execution
Account planning
Opportunity qualification

Forecast accuracy isn't administration.
It's leadership.
Competitive Selling

We're not afraid to name our competition.
Leadership has made clear that JFrog represents one of our most significant competitive opportunities.
You'll build confidence, competitive positioning and field coaching that helps your team consistently win strategic displacement opportunities.

Your region consistently delivers predictable ARR performance without relying on end-of-quarter heroics.
Most of your team achieves or exceeds quota through disciplined execution rather than isolated wins.
Pipeline quality and forecast accuracy become trusted by executive leadership.
Enterprise sales cycles accelerate because your coaching improves deal quality and customer alignment.
Strategic accounts expand beyond initial product adoption into broader platform relationships.

Most importantly...
People become better because they worked for you.
What you'll do:

Coach and develop a high-performing team of Enterprise Account Executives.
Build a proactive outbound culture focused on creating demand rather than waiting for it.
Lead weekly forecast, pipeline and deal review cadences using Salesforce, Clari and modern AI-driven insights.
Personally coach strategic enterprise opportunities and executive customer engagements.
Partner closely with Sales Engineering, Customer Success, Product Marketing, Enablement and RevOps to execute coordinated account strategies.
Develop future sales leaders through structured coaching and continuous feedback.
Strengthen competitive execution against JFrog and other enterprise software providers.
Ensure AI becomes part of how your team prepares, researches, forecasts and sells—not simply another technology they use.

Create accountability without creating fear.
