[Hiring] Global Client Executive @NetApp, Inc.

Role Description

At NetApp, we believe data is the currency of innovation. Within our Strategics Sales Organization, we partner with the world’s most influential enterprises to power how digital content is created, distributed, secured, and monetized at global scale.

We are seeking a Global Client Executive (GCE) to lead one of NetApp’s most visible and demanding Media & Entertainment relationships. This role is intended for a senior sales leader who can:

• Reset trajectory
• Elevate executive engagement
• Drive material change across a highly complex, multi-business enterprise

This is not a maintenance role. It is a leadership assignment. If you are energized by ambiguity, accountability, and the opportunity to build momentum where it matters most, we encourage you to apply.

Location: Remote (Preferred: Los Angeles, CA; New York, NY; Philadelphia, PA)

Your Impact: As a Global Client Executive, you will be the Account Owner for a large, globally distributed Media & Entertainment enterprise with multiple business units, buying centers, platforms, and decision-makers. You will be accountable for:

• Re-establishing strategic relevance
• Sharpening NetApp’s value narrative
• Executing a multi-year growth strategy that materially expands our footprint and influence

You will be expected to:

• Assess what is working
• Confront what is not
• Drive a step-change in execution, engagement, and outcomes, both internally and with the customer

This role requires executive courage, operational rigor, and the ability to lead through complexity without waiting for perfect clarity.

Qualifications

• 12+ years of proven track record leading large, complex global enterprise accounts through inflection points or transformation
• Demonstrated ability to challenge the status quo, reset expectations, and drive execution in matrixed organizations
• Strong business acumen and credibility within Media & Entertainment, including streaming, broadcast, studios, content operations, and platform ecosystems
• Executive presence with the ability to influence senior leaders through clarity, insight, and decisiveness
• Experience leading cross-functional teams without direct authority—and holding them accountable to results
• A growth mindset paired with intellectual honesty and resilience
• Commitment to inclusive leadership, collaboration, and cultural stewardship
• Working knowledge of cloud, data infrastructure, and enterprise technology platforms

Requirements

• Change-oriented sales leader who has operated successfully in high-stakes, high-visibility environments
