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.
Why this role?
As an Account Director, EMEA, you’ll own the end-to-end relationship with some of the region’s most influential enterprise customers who are driving digital and AI transformation.
You’ll lead strategic conversations that help organisations secure their software development lifecycle, from developer to cloud – positioning Snyk as the essential platform for secure innovation.
This is a unique opportunity to hone your craft at the forefront of developer security and AI, working with visionary leaders across Engineering, Security, and DevSecOps to help them build faster and safer. You’ll join a collaborative, high-performing sales team with a strong presence in our London office, where we typically work three days per week. For exceptional candidates, we’re open to discussing remote working within the UK.
What You’ll Do
- Own the full sales cycle across large enterprise accounts, driving new business while expanding and retaining existing relationships.
- Build and nurture strategic partnerships with C-level, Security, and Engineering leaders to drive long-term adoption of Snyk’s Developer Security Platform.
- Lead multi-stakeholder sales cycles, collaborating with Solutions Engineering, Customer Success, Product, and Marketing to deliver value across complex organisations.
- Leverage your deep understanding of the EMEA enterprise landscape to identify opportunities within priority markets and verticals.
- Act as a trusted advisor to customers on secure AI software development, sharing insights that shape their digital transformation strategies.
- Contribute to the broader team’s success by sharing knowledge, supporting peers, and helping refine our go-to-market approach across the region.
What You Bring
- 7+ years of experience owning complex enterprise sales cycles for a technical or SaaS product, ideally within AppSec, DevSecOps, or Cloud Security.
- A proven track record of exceeding quota and closing high-value, multi-stakeholder enterprise deals (often £1M+ ARR).
- Deep experience selling into Security, Engineering, and DevOps functions at large global organisations.
- Expertise in navigating complex procurement and governance processes across EMEA.
- Strong commercial acumen and the ability to build trusted relationships at C-suite level.
- A collaborative, curious, and growth‑minded approach – you thrive in cross‑functional, international environments.
It’d Be Awesome If You Also…
- Have a genuine interest in AI and how it’s transforming the way software is built.
- Bring a learning mindset and a desire to constantly refine your craft.
- Demonstrate resilience and ownership – you reflect, learn, and move forward quickly.
- Inspire others as a trusted internal partner and thought leader, helping elevate the Snyk brand in market.
We care deeply about the warm, inclusive environment we’ve created and we value diversity – we welcome applications from those typically underrepresented in tech. If you like the sound of this role but are not totally sure whether you’re the right person, do apply anyway!
