• Execute Outreach & Prospecting: Perform consistent, high-activity prospecting to penetrate new accounts, reach decision-makers, and learn how to win new business effectively.
• Support Partner Strategy: Collaborate closely with Channel Partners and Partner Managers to align on customer engagement and utilize partner resources to advance opportunities.
• Reactivate Customer Relationships: Focus on re‑engaging dormant or inactive customers by discovering new business use cases and identifying potential refresh and expansion opportunities.
• Build Foundational Skills: Develop and deliver proposals and business cases that clearly demonstrate the value of Pure's solutions, supported by internal experts.
• Maintain Sales Discipline: Diligently manage sales technology (Salesforce), deliver accurate forecasts, and maintain strong time management to thrive in a fast-paced, team environment.

What You Bring

• Proven Sales Experience: Demonstrated success in direct, full-lifecycle B2B technology sales with a consistent record of meeting or exceeding sales metrics (KPIs).
• Sales Drive & Motivation: A high degree of self-motivation, strong time management skills, demonstrates initiative and the drive to learn quickly and succeed across both transactional and early-stage strategic sales motions.
• Collaborative Mindset: Demonstrated success working with both internal teams and channel partners to ensure seamless customer engagement and shared goal achievement.
• Digital Proficiency: Proficiency with core sales technologies, including Salesforce and G Suite, and an ability to use data to prioritize daily activities.
• Communication & Presence: Strong verbal and written communication skills suitable for engaging with business leaders and maintaining professional business relationships.
• Resilience & Focus: A competitive, positive attitude combined with strong organizational and time management skills necessary to handle a dynamic, high-activity territory.
• Language Skills: Business Level, written and spoken, French and English language skills required.

Nice to Have

• Industry Knowledge: Prior knowledge of the storage industry and familiarity with how data solutions drive business outcomes.
• Channel Sales Expertise: Understanding of channel‑led sales motions and experience collaborating effectively within the broader partner ecosystem.
• Sales Training: Completion of a structured B2B sales methodology training (e.g., Business Value Selling or similar).
• Digital Tools: Experience using digital prospecting and engagement tools (e.g., Outreach, LinkedIn Sales Navigator) to accelerate the sales cycle.
