About the Role

You'll join a growing regional sales organization focused on building GitLab's presence and reputation in Italy. As Regional Director, you'll report to the AVP of Southern EMEA and work alongside peers who own other countries. Together you'll share best practices on pipeline generation discipline, structuring go-to-market motions, and developing local talent. Our main opportunity in Italy is significant greenfield growth. The addressable market is comparable to more mature regions, but current annual recurring revenue is much lower. As a result, we are focused on building credibility in the market, establishing reference customers, and laying the groundwork for larger strategic accounts over the coming years.
