THE OPPORTUNITY
We are looking for a Strategic Account Director to lead growth within a set of
Postman’s most important enterprise accounts. This role is part of a new
strategic go-to-market motion designed to deepen our engagement with large
enterprises, expand our footprint, and deliver the full value of the Postman
platform.
You will be paired with a pod that includes a Principal Solutions Engineer and a
Field CTO, forming a high-caliber account team focused on building long-term,
value-based relationships. Together, you’ll engage senior technology leaders,
uncover complex challenges, and drive adoption of Postman’s enterprise and
platform solutions at scale.
This is not a traditional “low-hanging fruit” sales role—this is about strategic
account expansion, multi-threaded enterprise engagement, and solution selling.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
* Own and grow a portfolio of strategic enterprise accounts (e.g., Fortune 500,
cloud-first companies, large-scale developer organizations).
* Deeply engage with senior buyers—CIOs, CTOs, VPs of Engineering, Platform,
Security, and Collaboration—to position Postman as a critical platform
solution.
* Drive multi-threaded sales campaigns that expand existing usage and convert
massive developer adoption (tens of thousands of users) into enterprise-wide
value.
* Lead complex solution sales cycles across collaboration, security, API
governance, and emerging AI-enabled workflows.
* Identify customer pain points and design tailored value propositions that
demonstrate ROI and impact at scale.
* Orchestrate cross-functional engagement with Customer Success, Product, and
Marketing to maximize customer outcomes.
* Track, forecast, and report on account progress, pipeline health, and
business results.
* Be a thought partner to your accounts, staying ahead of industry trends like
agentic AI, workflow automation, and cloud-native development.
* Partner with relevant stakeholders to drive account strategy and expansion.
ABOUT YOU
* 10–15 years of enterprise sales experience, with a proven track record in
strategic account management and expansion.
* Experience selling technical and platform products (developer tools, SaaS
platforms, cloud infrastructure, or security solutions).
* Demonstrated success in solution selling—engaging with senior technology
leaders and driving multi-million dollar expansion deals.
* History of working long cycles and successfully growing accounts over time.
* Ability to navigate large, complex organizations with thousands of users and
multiple stakeholders.
* Collaborative mindset with experience working closely with technical teams
(solutions engineers, architects, CTOs).
* Deep understanding of enterprise buyer personas (security, collaboration,
platform, developer productivity).
* Curiosity and fluency in emerging technologies, particularly AI/agentic AI,
and how they can automate workflows and deliver customer value.
* Strong executive presence, relationship-building skills, and the ability to
influence at the C-suite level.
WHY JOIN US
* Be part of an innovative sales model at one of the fastest-growing developer
platforms in the world.
* Partner with world-class colleagues in a pod structure designed to maximize
customer impact.
* Work with some of the largest and most innovative technology companies on the
planet.
* Play a key role in shaping how Postman goes deeper into enterprise accounts
and accelerates platform adoption.
