About Planet
Defense and intelligence is the core of Planet's sales hiring: more than half of the 26 customer-facing openings sell to or support militaries and intelligence services. From Arlington the US team adds an account executive for the US Army, senior business development managers for the Army and the Navy who shape requirements and work RFIs, white papers and RFPs, and two presales solutions architects for the defense and intelligence community; abroad, account executives cover Japan, France (the Ministère des Armées) and Sweden, presales architects support NATO from the Netherlands and Belgium and German defense from Germany, a director of sales for Europe based in the UK or Germany leads the regional team across NATO and the Nordics, and a deployment strategist works embedded with a customer in Abu Dhabi. Commercial and civil buyers get a German presales engineer and sales development reps in San Francisco and Berlin who build new-logo pipeline for account executives, the US one asking for experience in agriculture, energy, state and local government or universities. Customer success runs a low-touch tech touch team for small customers from San Francisco and Arlington plus CSMs for APAC and Brazil, and revenue operations hires a quote-to-cash manager and two sales strategy analysts. Thirteen of the 30 sales-titled postings are in the US, and four infrastructure solutions engineer postings among the 30 are internal platform jobs, not sales.
