Are you driven, high-achieving, and energized by collaborative environments? Cohesity is seeking an Enterprise Account Executive to help accelerate growth in the fast-paced world of modern data management and cyber resilience.

The Role:

We’re looking for an Enterprise Account Executive to help develop and grow a defined territory. This is an active, hands‑on sales role where you’ll focus on prospecting, building pipeline, and closing opportunities, while also supporting the expansion of existing accounts. You’ll work in a fast‑moving space within enterprise technology—data security and AI‑powered resilience—gaining exposure to complex customer needs and high‑impact solutions.

How You’ll Spend Your Time Here:

  • Execute a territory plan focused on net‑new logo acquisition and account growth across a defined set of enterprise accounts

  • Build, manage, and progress a qualified sales pipeline, including opportunities you source directly and those supported through channel partners

  • Work within complex customer organisations by identifying key stakeholders, building relationships, and engaging with senior decision‑makers as your experience grows

  • Support and lead customer engagements through discovery, evaluation, proposal development, and solution alignment, with guidance from Sales Engineers and leadership

  • Develop and deliver clear, value‑based proposals that connect Cohesity’s platform to customer security, resilience, and operational needs

  • Collaborate closely with channel partners and technology alliances (including NVIDIA, IBM, HPE, and AWS) to support deal execution and expand market reach

  • Maintain accurate opportunity tracking and forecasting, and contribute to consistent quarterly performance

  • Share customer insights and competitive feedback with the wider sales and product teams to support continuous improvement

We’d Love to Talk to You If You Have Many of the Following:

  • 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.

  • A customer‑focused mindset and strong interest in cybersecurity and data protection, especially ransomware and recovery

  • Proven experience selling enterprise technology solutions, ideally within infrastructure, SaaS, or adjacent markets

  • Evidence of success contributing to net‑new customer acquisition and growing existing accounts

  • Foundational understanding of data security and backup technologies, with a willingness to deepen technical knowledge

    • Familiarity with Cohesity solutions (DataProtect, DataHawk, SmartFiles) is a plus

    • Exposure to platforms such as NetBackup, Backup Exec, or InfoScale is helpful but not required

  • Comfort working with channel partners, with an interest in developing co‑selling skills

  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to present clearly to customers and internal stakeholders

  • Demonstrated experience using AI tools to improve productivity, organisation, and sales effectiveness

  • Bachelor’s degree in Business or a related field, or equivalent experience

  • Professional English language proficiency for customer and internal communication

  • Willingness to travel as required
