Account Director (DACH)

Unleash AI Innovators, Securely

Software is being rewritten in real time. AI agents are starting to write more code than humans do, at a speed no security team has ever had to match, and that single shift is opening up the biggest opportunity our industry has seen in a decade. We're not bracing for it, we're building the company that owns it.

Snyk is building the next generation security platform where security isn't a set of tools people operate. It's a team of security agents working alongside your engineers, finding, fixing, and governing risk at the speed software is now built. These agents work alongside both the company build and the agents they adopt. Security stops being a queue of work waiting for people, and becomes a coordinated workforce companies direct and trust.

Job Summary

As an Account Director at Snyk, you'll own the end-to-end sales and success cycle for prospective and existing Enterprise customers focused on Digital Transformation. You'll work directly with senior leaders across Security and Engineering organizations, using your territory knowledge and market connections to grow your account base and help embed security into every part of the AI-native development lifecycle.

• Build and nurture strong relationships with key stakeholders and C-Level Executives within Security and Engineering organizations.

• Develop complex account plans that incorporate multiple lines of business, channel ecosystems, and executive coverage models to build a dual-speed business of smaller, faster-moving accounts and larger, more complex accounts.

• Collaborate cross-functionally with leadership, customer success, channel partners, marketing, product, and finance to drive deals and ensure customer success.

• Manage renewal and expansion for your customer base, ensuring long-term outcomes and partnership growth.

• Forecast with accuracy and detail for both short and long-term opportunities while proactively mitigating close-lost rates.
