Overview

This is a remote-first position, ideal for a senior sales professional with experience navigating complex, consultative sales cycles within large organizations in the UK Region. In this role, you will be responsible for identifying and securing new enterprise accounts, expanding relationships within existing customers, and positioning Solace as a critical enabler of both traditional event-driven architecture (EDA) and next-generation AI-driven initiatives.

As organizations accelerate their adoption of artificial intelligence, real-time data movement has become a foundational requirement. Solace plays a key role in helping enterprises modernize their integration strategy to support AI workloads—by ensuring that data is delivered securely, efficiently, and in real time across distributed systems.

You will work closely with technical stakeholders and executive decision-makers to demonstrate how Solace’s platform can serve as the backbone for modern AI-ready infrastructure.

In This Role, You Will….

• At Solace, Sales Directors are responsible for establishing, cultivating, and improving Solace’s relationship with clients. They identify new business opportunities to grow with both new clients, and within existing clients – and they lead the sales process from start to finish.
• Our Sales Directors develop and execute territory and account plans that address short-term and strategic goals which include pipeline building, revenue attainment, profit margin, client wallet share, and customer satisfaction.
• They are “hunters” and must be self-starters who are able to work independently. At the same time, they must be strong team players — capable of collaborating widely and building a deep relationship with their pre-sales engineer(s) and others.
• Ultimately, our Sales Directors are accountable to win new business, and in the process will build strong client relationships (at both the working and executive level), negotiate complex deals, and establish long-lasting client relationships.
