Strategic Account Director New San Francisco, California, United States

Who Are We?

Postman is the world’s leading API platform, used by more than 40 million developers and 500,000 organizations, including 98% of the Fortune 500. Postman helps developers and professionals across the globe build the API-first world by simplifying each step of the API lifecycle and streamlining collaboration—enabling users to create better APIs, faster.

The company is headquartered in San Francisco and has offices in Boston, New York, and Bangalore. Postman is privately held, with funding from Battery Ventures, BOND, Coatue, CRV, Insight Partners, and Nexus Venture Partners.

We are looking for a Strategic Account Director to lead growth within a set of Postman’s most important enterprise accounts. This role is part of a new strategic go-to-market motion designed to deepen our engagement with large enterprises, expand our footprint, and deliver the full value of the Postman platform.

You will be paired with a pod that includes a Principal Solutions Engineer and a Field CTO, forming a high-caliber account team focused on building long-term, value-based relationships. Together, you’ll engage senior technology leaders, uncover complex challenges, and drive adoption of Postman’s enterprise and platform solutions at scale.

This is not a traditional “low-hanging fruit” sales role—this is about strategic account expansion, multi-threaded enterprise engagement, and solution selling .

What You’ll Do

• Own and grow a portfolio of strategic enterprise accounts (e.g., Fortune 500, cloud-first companies, large-scale developer organizations).
• Deeply engage with senior buyers—CIOs, CTOs, VPs of Engineering, Platform, Security, and Collaboration—to position Postman as a critical platform solution.
• Drive multi-threaded sales campaigns that expand existing usage and convert massive developer adoption (tens of thousands of users) into enterprise-wide value.
• Lead complex solution sales cycles across collaboration, security, API governance, and emerging AI-enabled workflows.
• Identify customer pain points and design tailored value propositions that demonstrate ROI and impact at scale.
• Orchestrate cross-functional engagement with Customer Success, Product, and Marketing to maximize customer outcomes.
• Track, forecast, and report on account progress, pipeline health, and business results.
• Be a thought partner to your accounts, staying ahead of industry trends like agentic AI, workflow automation, and cloud-native development.
• Partner with relevant stakeholders to drive account strategy and expansion.
