An overview of this role

As a Commercial Account Executive, you'll drive GitLab's growth by helping mid-market organizations adopt, implement, and expand our AI-powered DevSecOps platform. You'll also elevate your impact through team leadership and mentoring. You'll primarily focus on commercial and mid-market accounts across the Victoria territory with opportunities in Queensland, guiding customers through their digital and DevSecOps journeys and driving pipeline generation that translates into measurable new ARR and long-term expansion.

• Meet or exceed quota by building strong, long-term customer relationships and acting as the primary point of contact for all commercial opportunities in your territory.
• Articulate the value of GitLab to mid-market prospects and customers, clearly connecting our platform to their business outcomes, productivity goals, and security needs.
• Manage your territory by documenting buying criteria and processes, defining next steps and owners, and keeping opportunity information accurate and up to date. Create clear quarterly forecasts against your plan through regular pipeline and deal reviews.
• Collaborate closely with partners, Sales Development, Customer Success, Renewals, and Solutions Architects to drive new business, ensure adoption, and support expansion while minimizing churn and contraction.
• Represent GitLab in customer meetings and events by driving attendance and delivering compelling presentations, proposals, and reports.
