You’ll work in a fast‑moving space within enterprise technology—data security and AI‑powered resilience—gaining exposure to complex customer needs and high‑impact solutions.

How You’ll Spend Your Time Here

• Execute a territory plan focused on net‑new logo acquisition and account growth across a defined set of enterprise accounts
• Build, manage, and progress a qualified sales pipeline, including opportunities you source directly and those supported through channel partners
• Work within complex customer organisations by identifying key stakeholders, building relationships, and engaging with senior decision‑makers as your experience grows
• Support and lead customer engagements through discovery, evaluation, proposal development, and solution alignment, with guidance from Sales Engineers and leadership
• Develop and deliver clear, value‑based proposals that connect Cohesity’s platform to customer security, resilience, and operational needs
• Collaborate closely with channel partners and technology alliances (including NVIDIA, IBM, HPE, and AWS) to support deal execution and expand market reach
• Maintain accurate opportunity tracking and forecasting, and contribute to consistent quarterly performance
• Share customer insights and competitive feedback with the wider sales and product teams to support continuous improvement

• A customer‑focused mindset and strong interest in cybersecurity and data protection, especially ransomware and recovery
• Proven experience selling enterprise technology solutions, ideally within infrastructure, SaaS, or adjacent markets within Turkey
• Evidence of success contributing to net‑new customer acquisition and growing existing accounts
• Foundational understanding of data security and backup technologies, with a willingness to deepen technical knowledge
• Familiarity with Cohesity solutions (DataProtect, DataHawk, SmartFiles) is a plus
• Exposure to platforms such as NetBackup, Backup Exec, or InfoScale is helpful but not required
• Comfort working with channel partners, with an interest in developing co‑selling skills
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to present clearly to customers and internal stakeholders
• Demonstrated experience using AI tools to improve productivity, organisation, and sales effectiveness
