- Be in the field through customer meetings, executive briefings, technical discovery, and strategic deal support. Build relationships with executive sponsors and technical decision‑makers.
- Own the technical win, guiding SE engagement from discovery and solution design through proof of concept, technical validation, and close.
- Coach SEs through complex competitive deals, customer objections, and high‑stakes presentations, helping connect NetApp’s capabilities to customer business outcomes.
- Develop strong relationships with channel and distribution partners, aligning technical resources and joint account strategies to expand the team’s impact.
- Maintain a clear view of pipeline, deal stages, technical coverage, and team capacity.



Prioritize resources and address gaps while keeping the team organized and accountable.
- Partner with Sales Operations and Finance on territory design, quota planning, forecasting cadence, and annual business planning, bringing a explicit perspective on technical capacity and execution.
- Work cross‑functionally with Product Management, Marketing, Solutions, Customer Success, and Human Resources to address customer needs and ensure the team has what it needs to succeed.
- Own recruiting, onboarding, retention, and development of SE talent, including succession planning and continuity of technical coverage for key accounts.
- Lead quarterly and annual performance reviews using NetApp’s High Growth Principles. Set clear expectations, deliver actionable feedback, and maintain a consistent performance bar.
- Drive individual development plans and career conversations, helping team members deepen their expertise, expand their impact, and prepare for future opportunities.
