Senior Director, Sales (EMEA North Named)

Every day, the world gets more digital thanks to tens of millions of developers building the future faster than ever. But with exponential growth comes exponential risk, as outnumbered security teams struggle to secure mountains of code. This is where Snyk (pronounced “sneak”) comes in. Snyk is a developer security platform that makes it easy for development teams to find, prioritize, and fix security vulnerabilities in code, dependencies, containers, and cloud infrastructure — and do it all right from the start. Snyk is on a mission to make the world a more secure place by empowering developers to develop fast and stay secure.

 

 

Joining Snyk means embracing our core values: One Team, Care Deeply, Customer Centric, and Forward Thinking. As a member of our team, you’ll have the opportunity to thrive in a dynamic environment where fostering collaboration, leading with empathy, driving business impact, and inspiring trust are at the heart of everything we do.

  • Manage forecasting and pipeline reporting, ensuring data-driven decisions and predictable revenue growth.
  • Recruit, develop, and retain top-tier sales talent in collaboration with Talent Acquisition.
  • Partner cross-functionally with Product, Marketing, and Customer Success, ensuring alignment and impact.

 

What You’ll Need:

  • 7+ years leading high-performing enterprise sales teams, ideally in cybersecurity, DevSecOps, or developer tooling.

  • Are innovative and curious, always looking for new ways to improve sales strategies.
  • Bring a positive, team-first attitude and enjoy tackling challenges.
