• Collaborate with Sales Engineering, Marketing, Channel, Legal, Finance and Delivery teams to progress opportunities and deliver successful customer outcomes.
• Develop business cases and executive-level presentations that clearly demonstrate Commvault's business and technical value.
• Maintain high levels of sales activity, a healthy pipeline and accurate CRM records to support forecasting and operational reporting.
• Remain current on relevant Malaysian public-sector ICT priorities, procurement frameworks, data-sovereignty requirements and cybersecurity developments.
• Leverage alliances, hyperscalers, systems integrators, government-linked companies and channel partners to develop joint solutions, navigate procurement processes and extend Commvault's market reach.
• Based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

What you will bring:

• Demonstrated success in enterprise software and SaaS sales across the public and commercial sectors in Malaysia, with established customer relationships, particularly within government.
• Strong understanding of Malaysian government procurement processes, including budgeting cycles, regulatory requirements and procurement frameworks.
• A strong new-business orientation, with a proven track record of winning new logos and closing complex, high-value deals in regulated or security-sensitive environments.
• Experience in cybersecurity, AI, SaaS, data protection, disaster recovery or information management.
• Proven ability to engage, influence and build trusted relationships with senior government officials, CIOs, IT Directors, procurement leaders and other executive stakeholders.
• Experience working with and through alliances, hyperscalers, systems integrators, government-linked companies (GLCs) and channel partners.
• Familiarity with structured sales methodologies such as MEDDPICC, or an equivalent framework.
• Excellent communication, negotiation and executive presentation skills, with a collaborative and team-oriented approach.
