This is a general track role, hiring for opportunities across all levels of seniority in our Sales and Alliances teams. Apply here if you believe you possess outstanding revenue generating experience from the Technology industry.
Canonical is a leading provider of open source software and operating systems to the global enterprise and technology markets. Our platform, Ubuntu, is very widely used in breakthrough enterprise initiatives such as public cloud, data science, AI, engineering innovation and IoT. Our customers include the world's leading public cloud and silicon providers, and industry leaders in many sectors. The company is a pioneer of global distributed collaboration, with 1200+ colleagues in 75+ countries and very few office based roles. Teams meet two to four times yearly in person, in interesting locations around the world, to align on strategy and execution.
The company is founder led, profitable and growing.
As we continue to grow we are looking to hire both Enterprise Sales and Alliances Sales representatives to drive revenue growth and meet our goals.
Our Alliances Sales Directors own a book of business helping to enable Canonical to work with its go to market partners, hardware vendors, software vendors, solutions integrators and distributors and channels. With a fast growing channel business, GSI/SI and Hardware partners, we need to enable, manage and grow business opportunities and drive market expansion alongside revenue growth.
Reporting to the Alliances leadership, you will be working with direct sales, marketing, product, customer success, finance, legal and support as you demonstrate thought leadership, practical skills, and apply your knowledge and experience to help us grow in this critical area.
Our Enterprise Sales Executives own the relationships with our direct customers and are responsible for maintaining and growing relationships that result in mutually beneficial engagements. They help craft solutions that enable our customers to be more efficient, solve more complex problems and walk the path with the customer to get the best possible results.
Reporting to Sales leadership, you will work across either a region or a vertical and you can bring your knowledge of previous customers with you. We are committed to giving customers the most knowledgeable and most competent partners in sales so that we can succeed together.
Location: We have remote opportunities available globally.
We consider geographical location, experience, and performance in shaping compensation worldwide. We revisit compensation annually (and more often for graduates and associates) to ensure we recognise outstanding performance. In addition to base pay, we offer a performance-driven annual bonus or commission. We provide all team members with additional benefits, which reflect our values and ideals. We balance our programs to meet local needs and ensure fairness globally.
Canonical is a pioneering tech firm at the forefront of the global move to open source.

We recruit on a global basis and set a very high standard for people joining the company. We expect excellence - in order to succeed, we need to be the best at what we do. Most colleagues at Canonical have worked from home since its inception in 2004. Working here is a step into the future, and will challenge you to think differently, work smarter, learn new skills, and raise your game.
