Synthesia is seeking an experienced Regional Director of Strategic Sales to lead the team responsible for landing and expanding our largest customers (10k+ employees). In this role, you will recruit and develop a team of world-class sellers, drive excellence across PG and MEDDPICC, and define how we land and grow within the world’s largest and most complex organisations. We’re looking for a passionate first-line leader - someone who thrives in the weeds with their team and can make a meaningful, lasting impact on their careers. If this sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.
What you’ll be doing…
Lead our EMEA-based UK/I Accounts team to drive predictable Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) by landing and expanding Synthesia’s highest-value customers (10k+ employees).
Own pipeline quality and rigour, ensuring the team builds a robust, data-backed pipeline that creates confidence in future revenue and supports accurate forecasting.
Refine and execute a comprehensive account strategy, leveraging your experience to deepen relationships within key accounts, elevate our reach to the executive level, and accelerate expansion motions.
Partner with Talent Acquisition to hire and develop a world-class team, ensuring we attract top-tier, MEDDPICC-savvy sellers.
Shape a high-performance culture where senior sellers are coached, empowered, and given a clear path to thrive and grow at Synthesia.
Champion a Pipeline Generation (PG) mindset, reinforcing that outbound is a shared responsibility and a core competitive advantage.
Work cross-functionally with Marketing and Customer Success to drive seamless alignment across the commercial organisation, maximising customer satisfaction, engagement, and long-term value.
Continuously enhance our sales playbooks, embedding best practices, process improvements, and MEDDPICC methodologies that elevate the consistency and effectiveness of the entire sales function.
Requirements
You're a true first-line leader at heart - motivated, hands-on, and passionate about coaching teams to success every day.
You've recruited senior sellers who have thrived (recruiting is the number 1 priority of every GTM leader at Synthesia).
Proven track record managing senior sellers carrying $1M+ quotas, who consistently win and grow large, complex organisations (10k+ employees).

Experience in value-driven, methodological, playbook sales environments, with formal adoption of MEDDPICC and Command of the Message.
Experience navigating rapid-growth environments, embracing both the opportunities and the challenges - and thriving through them.
Executive presence with outstanding communication skills, both verbal and written, enabling you to influence stakeholders at every level.
