Reporting directly to the Area VP, you'll lead both our Named and Major Accounts teams in the Netherlands, driving strategy, hiring top talent, and scaling revenue while preserving the high-performance culture we're known for.

- Consistent Overachiever - Track record of exceeding quota with complex, multi-stakeholder deals.
- Strategic Connector - Adept at engaging and influencing C-level decision makers.

- Fluent in Dutch and English; able to travel within EMEA as needed.
- Impact at Scale - Help the world's largest organizations protect and accelerate their networks.

- Cutting-edge Tech - Lead with solutions trusted by over 30% of the Fortune 1000.
- Culture of Builders - We value autonomy, creativity, collaboration, and purpose-driven work.
If this excites you, you might be the leader we're looking for. We hire ambitious professionals who thrive on building exceptional teams, challenge the status quo, and share our passion for helping build a better Internet. Every employee here shapes the future of our customers, our culture, and the open web.
Before you apply, ask yourself:
- Are you ready to lead a team of A-players to outperform in one of the fastest-moving markets in tech?
- Can you coach, inspire, and scale a culture where high performance and high integrity go hand-in-hand?
If the answer is a confident yes, we'd love to hear from you.
