Sonatype is the software supply chain security company. We provide the world’s best end-to-end software supply chain security solution, combining the only proactive protection against malicious open source, the only enterprise grade SBOM management and the leading open source dependency management platform. This empowers enterprises to create and maintain secure, quality, and innovative software at scale.

As founders of Nexus Repository and stewards of Maven Central, the world’s largest repository of Java open-source software, we are software pioneers and our open source expertise is unmatched. We empower innovation with an unparalleled commitment to build faster, safer software and harness AI and data intelligence to mitigate risk, maximize efficiencies, and drive powerful software development.

More than 2,000 organizations, including 70% of the Fortune 100 and 15 million software developers, rely on Sonatype to optimize their software supply chains.

The Strategic Accounts team partners with Sonatype’s most complex and high-impact enterprise customers. This group operates at the intersection of security, engineering, and business value, helping customers navigate AI adoption, budget pressure, and growing software supply chain risk. We operate with MEDDIC rigor, run structured QBRs, and believe deeply in long-term value creation over transactional selling.

As a Strategic team member, you will own a portfolio of Sonatype’s most important enterprise accounts and be accountable for a quota aligning to new expansion and cross-sell opportunities. This is a senior individual contributor role for someone who brings deep industry credibility (AppSec, DevSecOps, developer tooling, or security SaaS) and can engage confidently with CISOs, CIOs, and senior engineering leaders. You will own the commercial strategy and executive relationship, partnering closely with a Customer Success Engineer (CSE) who serves as your technical counterpart. Together, you will position Sonatype as a trusted strategic partner, not just a vendor especially in an environment where AI narratives and budget constraints raise the bar for relevance. Success in this role is exactly as defined in the role today: driving meaningful, measurable value across your accounts over the first 12 months.

You must be able to fluently discuss quota, quota attainment and sales process or methodology when meeting for this role.
