Your Role

Zip is looking for a dynamic and driven Director of Strategic Enterprise Sales who excels in enterprise value-based selling motions and leadership. This role requires expertise in building and leading teams focused on delivering high-impact results through strategic, value-based cycles.

We are seeking a candidate who has demonstrated success in past sales Enterprise leadership roles, consistently achieving quotas, hiring and developing sales talent, and possessing a strong background in complex sales motions with large F500 organizations. Emphasizing strong customer relationships within the sales process is critical for this role, as you will collaborate closely with C-level executives and your team on the front lines. Active participation in client meetings, crafting deal progression strategies, and providing proactive coaching are essential responsibilities.

To succeed in this role, you must possess a proactive customer-first mindset, demonstrate a strong commitment to Zip’s customer dedication and values, and aspire to lead and mentor high-performing sales teams while achieving outstanding outcomes. We are looking for someone to not only consistently exceed sales metrics but also build a strong culture and foundation in the EMEA market.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
