This is a high impact individual contributor role with a strong emphasis on strategic planning, disciplined execution, and customer intimacy.

What You'll Do

• Build and execute account plans that map buying centres, application priorities, Kubernetes roadmaps, and transformation programmes.
• Develop executive relationships across CIO, CTO, CISO, Head of Infrastructure, Platform Engineering, SRE, and Application leaders.
• Lead complex sales cycles from discovery through close, including security, risk, procurement, architecture review, and legal processes common in Manufacturing and Automotive.
• Position Portworx around measurable outcomes: application resilience, ransomware recovery, data protection, regulatory compliance, cloud portability, and modernisation at scale.
• Orchestrate account teams and partner ecosystems, including GSIs, cloud providers, and regional partners, to drive pipeline creation and deal execution.
• Run a rigorous, value-based sales process tailored to cloud native software, with accurate forecasting and strong hygiene in Salesforce and forecasting tools.
• Partner with Customer Experience to expand adoption post sale, identify expansion triggers, and build customer advocacy within the Manufacturing and Automotive community.
• Stay ahead of competitive dynamics in Kubernetes data services, backup and recovery, and container storage, using insights to sharpen strategy and messaging.
• Represent Portworx in customer meetings and relevant industry events, with a field first mindset.

Qualifications

• Demonstrable experience selling into enterprise accounts, with an understanding of procurement, governance, risk, and security requirements.
• Strong grasp of cloud native concepts and the Kubernetes ecosystem, plus the ability to credibly engage architects and platform teams.
• Experience selling to both technical and executive stakeholders, translating technical capabilities into business value and risk outcomes.
• Disciplined pipeline generation, qualification, deal management, and forecasting, with strong operational habits in SFDC.
• Comfort working in a matrixed environment, influencing cross functional teams without direct authority.
