    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 + 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. We are hiring Embedded IoT / Edge Solutions Sales Representatives, Managers, and Directors to expand our reach in mission-critical 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 high-end 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 real-time 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. 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 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 long-term 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 world-leading company, we select for exceptional ability as well as character, and then provide an environment that 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: Empathy for the customer - a real understanding of customer needs, industry-specific challenges, and a desire to help customers solve their business problems High intellect - the ability to learn quickly, understand very complex subjects, and communicate clearly to build trust and confidence Passion for technology - a fascination with the state of the art from brilliant people solving hard problems, and fierce competition for large prizes Teamwork - a willingness to help others, to collaborate well with people from different disciplines, and to balance personal and team ambitions Energy - the drive to motivate oneself and others to achieve the best result for the team and our customers 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. The role entails Building and executinge a territory plan to prioritize leading security-focused brands and manufacturers Working with marketing to promote our brand and increase market awareness in prioritized accounts Developing pipeline through outreach, prospecting, local marketing, and industry events Closinge contracts to meet and exceed quarterly and annual bookings targets and achieve strategic objectives Managinge customer relationships and interactions through all stages of the sales cycle Working with IoT Field Engineers to understand customer requirements and ensure customer satisfaction Maintaining accurate data and forecasts within Salesforce Establishing productive professional relationships with key influencers and decision-makers Coordinatinge with colleagues, including support, delivery, and management What we are looking for in you Exceptional academic track record from both high school and university Undergraduate degree in a technical subject Confidence to respectfully speak up, exchange feedback, and share ideas without hesitation Track record of going above-and-beyond expectations to achieve outstanding results Field sales experience in embedded Linux, embedded software, or enterprise software Track record of achievement of sales targets and large account wins Passion for technology evidenced by personal projects and initiatives The work ethic and confidence to shine alongside motivated colleagues Professional written and spoken English with excellent presentation skills Experience with Linux (Debian or Ubuntu preferred) Excellent interpersonal skills, curiosity, flexibility, and accountability Appreciative of diversity, polite, and effective in a multi-cultural, multi-national organization Thoughtfulness and self-motivation Result-oriented, with a personal drive to meet commitments Ability to travel internationally twice a year, for company events up to two weeks long Willingness to travel up to 50% for customer meetings and industry events Ability to develop and execute territory sales plans Detail oriented with effective follow-up What we offer colleagues 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 recognize outstanding performance.

    Open source software is the new default in the enterprise, and Canonical is the new challenger to major enterprise software vendors.We are profitable and growing our global enterprise sales organisation. We are hiring regional sales team managers in Europe, Middle East, India, Asia, ANZ, Africa, Latin America, Central America and North America, each of whom will lead a team of five to ten enterprise sales representatives. We deliver better open source from the data center to cloud and edge. Our Linux distribution Ubuntu is now the leading platform for public cloud compute, and the favorite platform for software engineers, data scientists and AI developers. Our mission is to accelerate the adoption and quality of open source globally, and our goal is to ship the most software on the planet by cores. A tidal wave of open source innovation is the next phase of the entire enterprise software industry, and we aim to be the most compelling way to ride that wave. Our customers include Global enterprises and startups. We are expanding our product range from the base operating system - Ubuntu - to full enterprise solutions in infrastructure and applications. We can deliver software defined storage, private cloud solutions, container runtime environments, as well as databases, message queues, identity, observability, analytics, machine learning and web publishing capabilities. 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 just over 1, colleagues in 70+ countries and over $m in revenue, profitable, on a steady but relentless growth trajectory. We are almost entirely distributed, with leadership spread across many countries.

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 long-term 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 world leading 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: Empathy for the customer - a real understanding of customer needs, industry-specific challenges, and a desire to help customers solve their business problems High intellect - the ability to learn quickly, understand very complex subjects, and communicate clearly to build trust and confidence Passion for technology - a fascination with the state of the art from brilliant people solving hard problems, and fierce competition for large prizes Teamwork - a willingness to help others, to collaborate well with people from different disciplines, and to balance personal and team ambitions Energy - the drive to motivate oneself and others to achieve the best result for the team and our customers 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 the enterprises 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 judgement 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 team bookings quota within their territory. They should be able to travel regionally for client engagements or, industry conferences, and internationally for company events twice a year. They will be expected to demonstrate professionalism and effectiveness in managing their team. They will need to coach, mentor and lead by example. Their sales representatives are expected 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 expanding our sales organisation globally and have open sales team manager roles in every region. What your day will look like Build and execute a territory plan to prioritize outreach and prospecting Allocate portions of territory and accounts to sales representatives on your team Identify and prioritise new logo accounts in your territory for account-based marketing and prospecting Ensure that sales representatives have high quality account plans for existing accounts and priority prospects Monitor new pipeline development by your team, through outreach, prospecting, local marketing, and industry events Support contract closure to meet and exceed quarterly and annual bookings targets Be mindful and proactive in achieving tactical and strategic objectives Work with customer success to identify growth opportunities Ensure your team maintain accurate pipeline data and forecasts within Salesforce Represent the company, its solutions and software What we are looking for in you Bachelor's level degree, preferably in engineering or computer science Leadership and management skill Experience of open source technology and solutions Detail oriented with effective planning, organisation and reporting skill Experience in enterprise software or technology sales planning and execution Track record of achievement in sales targets and new account wins Self-discipline and motivation to be successful in a distributed team Professional written and spoken English, as well as any language that may be appropriate for your target market Ability to travel for customer engagements, industry events and company events Additional skills of interest Specific vertical experience, in particular finance, telco, health, energy, public sector, tech Experience speaking at conferences or industry events What we offer you We consider geographical location, experience, and performance when shaping compensation worldwide.
