Job description

In the digital age, content rules.

More people are now involved in creating and distributing content, than ever before. We have all become the media, the media has been marginalized and brands are now broadcasters.

Everyone has a story to tell or something to sell. A need to create and connect, post and publish, showcase and share.

So, say hello to Strapi! We exist to fuel the world’s creativity and productivity by unleashing the power of content.

Beyond a headless CMS, we are building an open composable content platform. Infinite customization capabilities, the largest open-source community, and a broad open-ecosystem.

It’s open-source. Javascript. Headless. Community first. And free. And will stay that way. Forever.

At Strapi, our mission is to empower millions of people to share content everywhere.

Traditional Content Management Systems have been around for years. But, today, content needs to be displayed on a ton of platforms (mobile applications, IoT, etc.). Even the way to create a website has drastically changed: developers use modern front-end frameworks (React, Vue, Angular, etc.). For all of these reasons, a new kind of CMS appeared on the market to make content available on any platform (through an API): the Headless CMS.

That's why we created Strapi, the leading open-source Headless Content Management System. With more than 42k+ stars on GitHub, 3M+ downloads, and a worldwide community, Strapi is used by tens of thousands of companies such as ASOS, Walmart, Nasa, etc.

🙏🏾 Why is your role important at Strapi?

After the release of Strapi Enterprise Edition in June 2020, Strapi has quickly grown its customer base. This customer base includes important accounts: Rakuten, Tesco, IBM, eBay, Mitsubishi, etc. Our revenue is booming with a solid double-digit growth month over month. Currently, the Team is 5 people, including a VP, a Pre-Sales Engineer, a Partner Development Manager, and an Account Manager. To accelerate our growth, we're looking for an Account Executive to handle the increasing flow of leads & inquiries.

👥 What’s the Sales Team culture & mindset?

🌈 Diversity & Inclusion: we're committed to building a diverse, safe & healthy work atmosphere and pay even more attention to our Sales Department to reflect this engagement.

👏🏻 Caring approach: Care is one of our six values. Not only do we want to care for our employees (have a look at our benefits package to have an idea), but we also want to be real partners to our customers. Our goal is to build a long-term relationship with them, not sell at all costs!
