Job description

At F5, we strive to bring a better digital world to life. Our teams empower organizations across the globe to create, secure, and run applications that enhance how we experience our evolving digital world. We are passionate about cybersecurity, from protecting consumers from fraud to enabling companies to focus on innovation.

Everything we do centers around people. That means we obsess over how to make the lives of our customers, and their customers, better. And it means we prioritize a diverse F5 community where each individual can thrive.

Role Overview:

We are looking for a seasoned Account Management Professional to grow our Commercial Enterprise sector business. Act as an F5 technology evangelist and trusted client advisor, driving the sale, adoption, and successful deployment of F5’s Application Delivery and Security Platform. Help customers deliver, secure, and optimize applications, APIs, and AI workloads across on-premises, hybrid multicloud, and edge environments through F5’s hardware, software, and SaaS offerings.

Closely collaborating with various business supporting units and channel partners, the successful candidate will take full ownership of the assigned clientele and he/she will be in charge of designing and orchestrating the related account growth strategy and execution plan.

We are looking for an ambitious, results-driven sales professional with a strong hunter mentality to grow our Hong Kong commercial-sector business. Candidates must proactively open doors, engage decision-makers, and win new accounts—not rely solely on existing relationships or inbound leads. They should understand the local commercial enterprise market and customer buying processes, with established relationships across IT executives and managers. Familiarity with the local IT ecosystem and the ability to collaborate with technology partners and systems integrators are essential, alongside the persistence and discipline to build pipeline and close business.
