• Customer Engagement: Support your team in building executive-level relationships and delivering value through hybrid cloud, AI-ready, and data-centric solutions. 
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Solutions Engineering, Channel, Marketing, and Product teams to drive integrated sales motions and customer success. 
• Operational Excellence: Monitor performance metrics, forecast accurately, and ensure consistent execution of sales processes and best practices. 
• Market Intelligence: Stay ahead of industry trends, competitive dynamics, and customer needs to inform strategy and positioning. 

Job Requirements

• 10+ years of enterprise technology sales experience, with at least 3+ years in a leadership or management role.
• Proven success in leading high-performing sales teams and driving consistent overachievement of quota. 
• Deep understanding of data infrastructure, storage, hybrid cloud, and AI solutions—especially in enterprise environments.
• Experience with partner-led selling, including working with VARs, distributors, and cloud partners (AWS, Azure, GCP).
• Strong executive presence and ability to influence both internal stakeholders and customer decision-makers.
• A strategic mindset with the ability to balance short-term execution with long-term growth planning. 
• A passion for developing talent, fostering collaboration, and building a winning culture. 

Why This Role? 

Because you’re not just a manager—you’re a multiplier. In this role, you’ll shape the future of NetApp’s enterprise presence in Chicago and beyond. Whether it’s helping a global manufacturer modernize their infrastructure, guiding a fintech through digital transformation, or mentoring the next generation of sales leaders, your impact will be real—and recognized.
