We’re looking for a Major Account Executive to drive adoption of API Hub within our most strategic enterprise accounts. This is a high-impact role focused on expanding relationships with platform teams, developer enablement groups, and architects leading large-scale API programs. With the launch of API Hub, SmartBear is unifying our API design, testing, and portal capabilities into a single, extensible platform. As customers increasingly look to consolidate tools and streamline workflows, this role is critical in helping them realize value from SmartBear’s full API lifecycle offering.

• Becoming a Trusted Advisor : Guiding platform and engineering leaders—from architects to CIOs—on how API Hub can accelerate their API strategy, improve governance, and consolidate spend.


• Driving Cross-Sell/Upsell : Uncovering and advancing multi-product sales motions by aligning SmartBear’s modular offerings to customer use cases.


• Enterprise Execution : Managing long and complex sales cycles, collaborating closely with Solutions Engineering, Product, and Customer Success to close high-value opportunities.


• Market Positioning : Educating customers on SmartBear’s competitive advantages vs. players like Postman, Kong, and others while leveraging recent recognition like our 2024 Gartner Leader status.

We’re Looking for Someone Who Has:

• 5–7 years of successful sales experience, including 1–5 years managing enterprise-level accounts in SaaS, DevOps, or API ecosystems.


• A track record of exceeding quota and driving complex, multi-product deals within Fortune 1000 organizations.


• Strong executive presence with the ability to build credibility with architects, directors, VPs, and C-level stakeholders.


• Experience navigating platform consolidation, DevOps transformation, or API-first initiatives.


• Proficiency with Salesforce, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, and other sales tools.


• A Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience.
