In the digital age, content rules.

The way we create, share, and distribute content is evolving. Brands are broadcasters, individuals are creators, and everyone has a story to tell or a solution to showcase. That’s where we come in.

Say hello to Strapi—an open-source, JavaScript-based, headless CMS designed to empower the world’s creativity and productivity by unlocking the power of content. Community-driven and free, we’re committed to keeping it that way, forever.

🚀

You could be joining a globally distributed team of over 60 Strapiers from the USA, France, Africa, Italy, and beyond. At Strapi, we offer a fully remote, inclusive, and diverse environment, embracing collaboration, transparency, and care at every level.

Strapi’s culture is centered around empowerment and opportunity. If you believe in your ability to contribute and elevate our team, we’d love to hear your story—even if you don’t meet every single requirement. Few of us would be here if we hadn’t taken the chance.

🙏🏾 Why your role is important at Strapi

As Strapi embraces a Product-Led Growth (PLG) and Product-Led Sales (PLS) strategy for 2025, we are transforming the way our sales team operates to meet the needs of a rapidly growing customer base and an evolving market.

Our team is small but mighty: five professionals, including a Sales Manager, a Sales Engineer, a Partner Development Manager, and two Account Executives. Together, we focus on driving growth through acquiring new logos and expanding opportunities within our existing customer base.

This is an opportunity to make a significant impact in a startup with solid double-digit revenue growth, and to work with some of the world’s leading companies, including Rakuten, Tesco, IBM, eBay, Mitsubishi, and more. You’ll play a key role in shaping our approach to PLS, building trust with clients, and helping them succeed with Strapi’s Enterprise Edition.

👋🏿 The Sales department culture

Caring approach: Care is one of our values. Not only do we want to care for our employees (have a look at our benefits package to get an idea), but we also want to be real partners with our customers. We aim to build a long-term relationship with them, not sell at all costs!
