Canonical is a leading provider of open source software and operating systems to the global enterprise and technology markets. Our platform, Ubuntu, is very widely used in breakthrough enterprise initiatives such as public cloud, data science, AI, engineering innovation and IoT. Our customers include the world's leading public cloud and silicon providers, and industry leaders in many sectors. The company is a pioneer of global distributed collaboration, with 1200+ colleagues in 75+ countries and very few office based roles.

Our Enterprise Sales Executives own the relationships with our direct customers and are responsible for maintaining and growing relationships that result in mutually beneficial engagements. They help craft solutions that enable our customers to be more efficient, solve more complex problems and walk the path with the customer to get the best possible results.
