Overview

In the digital age, content rules.

Production and distribution have shifted from the few to the many. We have all become the media, the media has been marginalized and brands are now broadcasters.

Everyone has a story to tell or something to sell. A need to create and connect, post and publish, showcase and share.

So, say hello to Strapi! We exist to fuel the world’s creativity and productivity
by unleashing the power of content.

So we’ve built the next generation CMS that does exactly that. Across the full lifecycle and the entire stack.

It’s open-source. Javascript. Headless. Community first. And free. And will stay that way. Forever.

🙏🏾 Why your role is important at Strapi

Our Sales team is driven by 3 principles which are “Learn, continuously”, “Be grateful, unrelentingly”, and “Share, a lot”. You can find more details in this article. We are a tight-knit, high-energy crew that is made up of Account Executives, Account Managers, and Partner Development Managers. We value being a great team, achieving the extraordinary, and making our customers successful.

As the Head of Sales, you will lead our Sales organization into the next phase of growth. Reporting directly to our CEO, this position will have a huge impact on the future of our company.

Our Head of Sales will be responsible for an existing Sales team that is forecasted to triple in size by end of 2022. This person will lead the strategic direction and management of the sales engine to fine-tune, optimize, scale, and successfully help the company meet its short and long-term objectives.

This new member of our executive leadership team will define the vision for how our Sales team operates and functions daily, and then execute on the plan to make it happen. They will learn from our existing team and drawing from their extensive experience and success, bring new perspectives and solutions to enable exponential growth and greater market share penetration. As a trusted advisor, the Head of Sales must be an authentic collaborator, strong leader, and proactive, strategic problem solver.
