What is the role?

dotCMS is a cloud-based Digital Experience platform changing how enterprises do digital. We seek an experienced, strategic, and results-driven Sales Director to join our dynamic team. 

As the Director of Sales, you will play a key role in driving sales growth by building and maintaining relationships with key decision-makers, understanding customer needs, and positioning dotCMS solutions to meet those needs. This role will primarily focus on new business development.

We're proud to be 100% remote! dotCMS has been fully remote for over a decade, and as an employee, you may work remotely from any location compatible with standard U.S. business hours. Please note this is a full-time employee position, and we cannot sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment visa at this time. Additionally, we are not accepting contractors or C2C candidates.

What is dotCMS?

Founded in 2003, dotCMS is the most agile, scalable, and secure content management system for enterprises. Built on leading Java technology, dotCMS is an open-source, hybrid-headless content management system that gives developers the flexibility of a headless CMS while equipping marketers with no-code visual content authoring. Whether you're building a network of global websites, an employee intranet, a customer portal, or a single-page web application, dotCMS helps you manage content, images, and assets in one centralized location and deliver them to any channel. Some of our notable customers include Telus, Standard & Poors, Hospital Corporation of America, Royal Bank of Canada, Deutsche Bank, Comcast, Vodafone, Thomson Reuters, Dairy Queen, Lennox International, Chewy.com, and O’Reilly Autoparts.

Who are we, really?

At “the dot,” you’ll find a diverse team of authentic individuals who share the goal of building the most agile, scalable, and secure content management system, delighting customers, and having a lot of fun doing it. We’re a curious, innovative, and collaborative group that works from anywhere, having been 100% remote long before a pandemic required it. Working remotely is in our DNA, whether it’s to enjoy the beautiful views of new countries or just more “you” time outside of work. And since we don’t gather around the water cooler in an office, we like to gather around the cool waters of Costa Rica a few times a year for our regular off-sites, where we blow off some steam and re-energize as a group.
