Key Responsibilities

  • Identify, create, and close new business opportunities (hunter mentality)

  • Own full sales lifecycle and pipeline creation 
  • Develop a robust, self-generated pipeline (not only partner-led) 
  • Manage complex sales cycles and deliver predictable, accurate forecasts 
  • Consistently exceed revenue and consumption targets 
  • Lead EDA-driven GTM motions 
  • Drive strategic deals around simulation, verification, and HPC workloads 
  • Position hybrid and cloud-native architectures to optimize performance and cost

  • Leverage initial wins to grow presence across additional workloads and industries
  • Identify cross-sell and upsell opportunities aligned to cloud, AI, and data strategies

    • Design, simulation, and verification environments 
    • High-performance compute and storage requirements 
  • Experience with cloud platforms (preferably Google Cloud): 
    • Application modernization, hybrid cloud, and migration strategies 
    • Data-intensive and AI-driven workloads 
  • Demonstrated success in partner-driven sales models 
    • Experience working with ISVs (ideally EDA vendors), SIs, and cloud ecosystem partners 
    • Understanding of Marketplace and ecosystem-led GTM strategies 
  • Strong commercial acumen, negotiation, and stakeholder management skills

We pledge to take every reasonable step to ensure that our applicants and employees are respected, treated fairly and with dignity. See the EEO poster, Know your rights poster, and NetApp EEO policy. NetApp makes reasonable accommodations, consistent with applicable laws, for religious purposes and for the known physical or mental limitations of an otherwise qualified applicant or employee with a disability, who can perform the essential job functions unless undue hardship would result.

Data privacy

We care about your privacy and, therefore, ask that you read our Candidate Privacy Notice before you submit any personal information to us.

NetApp does not carry out any solely automated decision making (i.e. the process of making a decision by automated means without any human involvement) in determining your suitability or eligibility for specific roles.

However, the processing of your personal information is carried out with the aid of manual and automated tools. In particular, NetApp may use an automated employment evaluation tool or similar tool as one of several tools, actions, and/or steps to assist with NetApp’s review of candidate applications for various hiring needs. Currently, when addressing certain hiring needs, NetApp uses the Eightfold tool which can provide an initial ranking of a candidate’s skills and experience, based on information provided by the applicant in the application and/or supporting documentation, in comparison to the NetApp designated key requirements of a specific role. Additionally, the tool may be used to help review and/or rank internal employees seeking promotion or other internal mobility. However, our talent acquisition team or our recruiters will ultimately select the candidates for further consideration, following human review of any automated evaluation results and associated underlying documentation (or lack thereof) submitted with the candidates’ application.

An independent audit of the Eightfold Matching Model tool can be found at https://eightfold.ai/nyc-eightfoldmatching-model.

Candidates may request an alternative selection process which will not be subject to the Eightfold matching tool or to any electronic automated employment evaluation by contacting NetApp at careers@netapp.com. To bypass the Eightfold matching tool or any electronic automated employment evaluation, you must include a resume and job ID with your email to careers@netapp.com and you must include in the subject line of your email: Data Privacy Request. Candidates who have questions or want to request additional information on the source of data, type of data, and/or collection of data related to the candidate review process should contact NetApp at careers@netapp.com

Note: Eightfold is not applicable to temporary hiring opportunities. If you are interested in temporary roles, you can apply via a third-party site managed by our preferred supplier, Magnit Global. Magnit Global will provide its own privacy disclosures for your review as part of the application process.
