Major Account Executive, API Hub

We’re looking for a Major Account Executive to drive adoption of API Hub within our most strategic enterprise accounts. This is a high-impact role focused on expanding relationships with platform teams, developer enablement groups, and architects leading large-scale API programs. With the launch of API Hub, SmartBear is unifying our API design, testing, and portal capabilities into a single, extensible platform. As customers increasingly look to consolidate tools and streamline workflows, this role is critical in helping them realize value from SmartBear’s full API lifecycle offering.
You’ll be responsible for:

• Strategic Expansion: Developing account strategies to expand our API footprint and increase product adoption across API Hub (formerly SwaggerHub) which includes API Design, Portal, Contract Testing, and Test.
• Becoming a Trusted Advisor: Guiding platform and engineering leaders—from architects to CIOs—on how API Hub can accelerate their API strategy, improve governance, and consolidate spend.
• Driving Cross-Sell/Upsell: Uncovering and advancing multi-product sales motions by aligning SmartBear’s modular offerings to customer use cases.
• Enterprise Execution: Managing long and complex sales cycles, collaborating closely with Solutions Engineering, Product, and Customer Success to close high-value opportunities.
• Market Positioning: Educating customers on SmartBear’s competitive advantages vs. players like Postman, Kong, and others while leveraging recent recognition like our 2024 Gartner Leader status.

We’re Looking for Someone Who Has:

• 5–7 years of successful sales experience, including 1–5 years managing enterprise-level accounts in SaaS, DevOps, or API ecosystems.
• A track record of exceeding quota and driving complex, multi-product deals within Fortune 1000 organizations.
• Strong executive presence with the ability to build credibility with architects, directors, VPs, and C-level stakeholders.
• Experience navigating platform consolidation, DevOps transformation, or API-first initiatives.
• Proficiency with Salesforce, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, and other sales tools.
• A Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience.

• You can grow your career at every level.
• We invest in your success as well as the spaces where our teams come together to work, collaborate, and have fun.
• We love celebrating our SmartBears; we even encourage our crew to take their birthdays off.
• We are guided by a People and Culture organization - an important distinction for us. We think about our team holistically – the whole person.
• We celebrate our differences in experiences, viewpoints, and identities because we know it leads to better outcomes.
