وصف
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 worlds leading public cloud and silicon providers and industry leaders in many sectors. The company is a pioneer of global distributed collaboration with 1000 colleagues in 70 countries and very few officebased 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.
We are hiring IoT Sales Representatives to expand our reach in missioncritical industries such as Automotive Medical Devices Industrial Systems Robotics and Telco as well as consumer electronics. We are looking for candidates who are technically skilled and familiar with embedded Linux and RTOS. We are expanding in all time zones so we can accommodate candidates from almost any country as long as they have reasonable business access to a substantial market territory in person. As we grow our teams we will also hire Sales Team Managers and Regional Sales Directors please continue with this process if your goal is a management leadership position.
The server edition of Ubuntu is already very widely used in connected devices and industrial PCs. Our newer edition of Ubuntu for IoT called Ubuntu Core represents the state of the art in security and resilience for highend appliances and equipment. Our customers include global brands in consumer and industrial electronics as well as automotive and robotics. We continue to expand our range of offerings to bring our security management and developer experience to the smallest Linux environments and devices. We recently added a realtime Linux capability and are working towards a range of certifications for these offerings. Together this portfolio is Linux reinvented for optimal reliability security developer productivity and footprint.
This is a prospecting sales and strategic account development role and requires energy ambition and focus. In order to be successful you must be comfortable positioning and selling open source services and software solutions to all levels of an organization and specifically to departments that are developing embedded software and IoT devices. You should also be familiar with at least one of our priority sectors.
Customers love the idea that they can get security compliance and support for everything open source from a single company. Our goal is to have more solutions on tap than any other vendor and we have built unique capabilities to make that possible across every cloud every class of compute and every category of application. Canonical provides licensed enterprise software products commercial support managed services consulting and training services to customers who are deploying Ubuntu or open source applications on the cloud in their data center or to the connected device and IoT ecosystem. We are $250m in revenue profitable on a steady but relentless growth trajectory. We are almost entirely distributed with leadership spread across many countries. We believe that talent is equally distributed across the globe and we are excited to hire develop promote and ultimately trust a diverse group of exceptional leads to build the best not biggest enterprise software company.
We hire carefully and deliberately; our selection process is long and requires substantial work from applicants. It will take successful applicants three to six months to secure an offer. This is not a place to apply if you are in a rush to find a position it is a worthwhile place to apply if you are ambitious and longterm in your thinking about your career and the dynamics which move the world forward. If you see clearly the rise of open source and you understand the drivers of enterprise procurement and technical decision making then you will understand why Canonical has such a tremendous long term advantage. You will also understand given the ferocity of competition and the challenges of competing in a market of giants that we have to set a very high bar for hiring and performance. In order to be a worldleading company we select for exceptional ability as well as character and then provide an environment which promotes teamwork and celebrates diligence collaboration and effectiveness. All of those are easy to say but hard to do at Canonical we are willing to be uncomfortable in pursuit of that excellence.
In building our sales team we look for five things:
Ubuntu is already very widely adopted which gives us a credible basis for conversations in the market. Nevertheless it requires real work for sales professionals to build on that adoption to create trusted and profitable commercial relationships with brands in their territory. Our product managers and marketing teams run campaigns to generate awareness engagement and leads but you will need to go beyond managing inbound interest to develop the potential of your territory. You will need judgment as to which industries and companies are ready to go deeper with open source and Canonical and energy to develop relationships in advance of proven interest. We expect professional practice territory and account planning as well as clear complete and continuous reporting on pipeline status and activity using standard professional tools.
The successful candidate will carry an annual bookings quota within their assigned territory. They should be able to travel regionally for client engagement industry conferences and internationally for company events twice a year. They will be expected to demonstrate professionalism and effectiveness to prospect accounts for new business maintain and develop existing relationships and work with colleagues and partners on account strategy. They must be comfortable selling enterprise software open source cloud virtualization container technologies and technical software solutions to senior levels of the enterprise.
Location: We are growing our sales reach in all regions EMEA APAC and Americas.
