[Hiring] Senior Strategic Sales Specialist @HPE

Role Description

This role has been designated as ‘Remote/Teleworker’, which means you will primarily work from home.

HPE CloudOps is looking for a seasoned enterprise sales professional with a strong track record selling SaaS-based Hybrid/Multi-Cloud Management platforms and solutions in Observability, AIOps, and IT Operations Management (ITOM). In this role, you’ll represent the HPE CloudOps Software Suite—bringing together HPE OpsRamp for intelligent monitoring and AIOps with HPE Morpheus for hybrid cloud management, self-service, and automation.

This is a role for a strategic seller who enjoys complex deals, value-driven conversations, and helping customers modernize how they run IT at the intersection of AI, automation, and hybrid cloud.

As a key member of the CloudOps go-to-market team, you’ll lead major pursuits and act as a trusted advisor to our customers, helping them transform IT operations with an integrated platform that unifies hybrid cloud management, monitoring, event correlation, service mapping, and end-to-end automation.

In this role, you will:

• Partner closely with Account Executives on strategic pursuits, managing multi-stakeholder sales cycles with CIOs, VPs of Infrastructure, and IT Operations leaders in large enterprises.
• Tell a clear, compelling story for the HPE CloudOps Suite (OpsRamp + Morpheus), showing how service-centric observability, AIOps, hybrid cloud management, and automation translate into real business outcomes.
• Own the top of the funnel: generate pipeline, qualify high-impact opportunities, and lead both technical discovery and business case development.
• Focus on high-potential enterprise segments—named accounts, key verticals, and competitive take-outs where the CloudOps Suite clearly stands apart.

What success looks like:

• You know how to sell on value, not just features.
• You’re comfortable connecting technical capabilities in OpsRamp and Morpheus to business outcomes and can move easily between detailed technical discussions and executive-level conversations.
• You bring a mix of urgency, curiosity, and collaboration, and you like winning in a competitive market.

This role calls for someone who knows their way around complex, consultative technology sales and understands the Observability, AIOps, ITOM, and Cloud Management Platform space. You’ll regularly work through multi-layered business challenges, help shape our go-to-market plans, and influence how we position the CloudOps Suite with customers and partners.

You’ll also play a visible leadership role—helping guide deal strategy, coaching others on enterprise selling best practices, and making sure customers realize the value they signed up for. You’ll have the room to operate with real autonomy and make decisions that directly affect revenue, competitive position, and customer success.

This role often puts you in front of senior customer executives and industry stakeholders, so sound judgment, strong EQ, and a genuine interest in improving digital operations are all important.

Qualifications
