You understand the ins and outs of data center, cloud, edge, and enterprise licensing solutions. You’re a self-motivated, disciplined, and money-driven technical seller with a competitive athlete’s mindset, capable of managing complex deals and long-term relationships.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage and grow your territory by leveraging your existing relationships and expanding your reach across the region
• Go beyond the region: you’re encouraged to pursue opportunities outside the territory when strong customer relationships exist
• Lead the full sales cycle: from prospecting and relationship‑building to negotiation and close, you’ll be the go‑to advisor for all things data center, cloud, edge, and enterprise licensing
• Collaboration and partnership: work closely with our internal teams and industry‑leading partners like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Cisco, Dell, Google Cloud, Microsoft, Pure Storage, Rubrik, and over 250 Managed Service Providers (MSPs) to deliver cutting‑edge solutions. You’ll have access to the best resources and relationships to craft customized, high‑impact technology solutions for your clients

Ideal Candidate

• Experience: 5+ years of technical sales experience, focusing on data center modernization, cloud solutions, edge computing, and enterprise licensing agreements (VMware, Microsoft, Cisco)
• Relationships: you have 3‑5 established relationships in Fortune 1000 or enterprise accounts and understand how to build and expand on them
• Technical Expertise: deep knowledge of cloud architectures, multi‑cloud environments, data center solutions, and enterprise licensing
• Sales Excellence: proven track record of exceeding sales targets, with experience navigating the customer to reseller to distributor to manufacturer sales cycle
• Competitive Edge: you’re a natural athlete—whether in sports or business, you’re driven to win and lead by example
• Self‑Managed: you are disciplined and thrive in a self‑driven, entrepreneurial environment

Why Alliance Optix?

• Compensation:
  • OTE (On‑Target Earnings) of $330,000, based on achieving a $600,000 annual commissionable margin
  • Additional bonus incentives for surpassing targets
• Benefits:
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Life insurance and 401k plan with matching contributions
  • Expense budget/plan to support business development activities

  • Partner‑led practices from leading vendors (e.g., Dell, Cisco, Rubrik, Microsoft, Amazon, and more) to ensure best‑in‑class support
  • Advisory support from senior leadership, offering strategic insights and deal structuring expertise
• Growth Opportunities: as we expand, you’ll have opportunities to develop your career further, backed by a team of technical experts and top‑tier partners
