The Opportunity

Arize has expanded globally, and EMEA represents one of our most significant growth opportunities. We have already built a strong team and we want to continue building the region and are looking for a Director of EMEA Sales to own it end-to-end. This is a rare opportunity to define Arize's presence across Europe and the Middle east, shaping the strategy, building the team, and winning the market.

This role is built for someone who is equally comfortable closing deals and leading a team. In the early days, you will be in the field selling alongside your reps, learning what works in the region, building relationships with key accounts, and developing the playbook through direct experience. As the business scales, you will transition into a full leadership role, managing a team of Account Executives across Enterprise, Expansion, and Digital Native segments.

This role reports to Sales leadership and while we are a remote-first company, the nature of this role requires candidates to be based in London, UK.

• Continuously iterate on tactics and sales motion based on market feedback, win/loss data, and rep performance, building a system that gets sharper over time.
