  • Develop compelling business cases that connect Cohesity’s AI‑powered data security platform to customer outcomes across security, resilience, compliance, and cost optimisation.
  • Partner closely with sales engineers, channel partners, and internal stakeholders to execute coordinated account strategies.
  • Maintain accurate forecasting, territory plans, and pipeline hygiene within Salesforce.
  • Leverage AI and productivity tools to streamline workflows, improve deal quality, and support data‑driven decision making.

  • Demonstrated experience selling into and partnering with Information Security / Cybersecurity teams, with a strong understanding of enterprise security frameworks, compliance standards, and the ability to align solutions to customer security and risk requirements.
  • Extensive success in a quota‑carrying, customer‑facing enterprise sales role selling complex technology solutions.
  • Demonstrated experience selling into enterprise accounts with multiple stakeholders and complex sales cycles.
  • Knowledge of data security architectures, ransomware resilience, and the competitive landscape, including:
    • Experience with Cohesity solutions (DataProtect, DataHawk, SmartFiles) strongly preferred
    • Expertise with NetBackup, Backup Exec, and InfoScale, including immutable storage, hardened media servers, ACL‑based controls, and encryption
  • Strong track record of negotiating and closing high‑value enterprise contracts.
  • Executive‑level communication and presentation skills, with the ability to clearly articulate technical and business value.
  • Experience working with channel partners and cross‑functional deal teams.
  • Willingness to travel as required within the assigned territory.
