You'll focus on major enterprise prospects and customers, guiding them through complex DevSecOps and software delivery transformations across areas like CI/CD automation, secure development, and infrastructure modernisation.

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 before, during, and after the sale.

In your first year, you'll be expected to build and manage a healthy enterprise pipeline, create repeatable sales motions, and drive successful rollouts and adoption that translate into measurable results and long-term expansion.

Responsibilities

• Support GitLab's strategic large prospects and customers as a trusted advisor throughout their DevSecOps journey.

• Drive the full sales cycle in large, complex enterprises, including prospecting, qualifying, developing, and closing new opportunities across your assigned accounts.

• Provide strong account leadership and direction in both the pre-sales and post-sales process to ensure customers realise value from GitLab's AI-powered DevSecOps platform.

• Coordinate closely with Solutions Architects, Customer Success, Support, and strategic channel partners to design and execute account strategies that drive adoption, expansion, and retention.

• Develop and execute structured account plans based on customer business needs, including opportunity mapping, stakeholder alignment, and multi-threaded engagement across technical and business teams.

• Ensure successful rollout and ongoing adoption through proactive account management activities, regular business reviews, and clear alignment on customer outcomes.

• Prepare and deliver accurate activity and forecast reports, and contribute to root cause analysis on wins and losses while sharing lessons learned with account managers, marketing, and technical teams.

• Act as the voice of the customer by sharing feedback and product ideas, and use a consultative approach to create proposals, quotes, and presentations that clearly link GitLab's solutions to customer business objectives.

Requirements

• A true desire to see customers achieve meaningful outcomes and long-term value from their investment in GitLab.

• Experience driving complex B2B software sales cycles with large enterprises, ideally in DevSecOps, software development tools, or adjacent SaaS solutions.

• Proven success selling into large, strategic organisations, with the ability to build trusted relationships with C-level and senior stakeholders across business and technical teams.

• Able to provide a high degree of account management and control, working under minimal supervision on complex opportunities while maintaining clear communication and alignment.

• Ability to generate new business and expand existing accounts through consultative, multi-stakeholder sales motions that result in sustainable, long-term partnerships.

• Experience collaborating with strategic channel partners to develop opportunities, co-sell, and support successful customer adoption.

• Excellent negotiation, presentation, and closing skills, with effective written and verbal communication that influences internal and external stakeholders.

• Preferred experience with Git, software development tools, application lifecycle management, or security/application security tools.

• You share our values and work in accordance with them, use GitLab in your daily work, and are able to travel if needed while following GitLab's travel policy.
