You will work closely with Sales, Marketing, RevOps, and Product-Led Growth (PLG) leadership to create a modern, scalable pipeline engine. We are looking for a seasoned, proven leader who has delivered results at scale, built high-performing teams, and knows how to operate at the intersection of Sales, Marketing, and PLG.

The Global Head of Account Development will play a direct role in shaping Postman’s revenue trajectory and building the pipeline engine that fuels our next phase of growth. If you are excited by complexity, scale, and ownership—and want to build something with massive upside potential—we’d love to talk.
