About The Position

DDN is looking for an Account Executive / Client Director to drive new business and territory growth with organizations investing in the future of AI, high-performance computing, cloud, and modern data infrastructure. This is a strategic enterprise role for someone who knows how to win complex deals, orchestrate internal and external stakeholders, and become a trusted advisor to technical and executive decision-makers. The market is moving fast. AI is no longer a side conversation — it is a board-level priority. Companies are rethinking the infrastructure, storage, compute, networking, and data platforms required to support the next generation of applications and workloads. At DDN, you will be positioned at the intersection of AI infrastructure, HPC and high-performance environments, cloud and data center solutions, and mission-critical enterprise transformation. If you want to sell something genuinely strategic, with technical depth and executive relevance, this is that opportunity.

Requirements

• Deep enterprise technology sales experience across storage, compute, networking, infrastructure, cloud, data center, or AI platforms
• A track record of winning complex enterprise deals rather than high-volume transactional business
• Confidence operating with both executive stakeholders and technical teams
• A clear history of driving net-new logo acquisition, territory expansion, and strategic account growth
• Strong communication, presentation, negotiation, and forecasting discipline
• The ability to create momentum in competitive, multi-threaded sales environments

Nice To Haves

• Experience selling AI infrastructure, HPC, cloud, or data center solutions
• Experience working with channel partners, OEMs, and system integrators
• Approximately 8+ years of enterprise sales experience
• Based in or near one of these preferred markets: New York City, Boston, Washington DC, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Raleigh, Miami, Chicago, Dallas, Austin, Houston, Minneapolis, Denver, St. Louis, San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle, Los Angeles, San Diego, Phoenix, Portland, or Salt Lake City

Responsibilities

• Own and grow enterprise accounts within your territory
• Create and convert net-new business opportunities
• Lead complex, multi-stakeholder enterprise sales cycles from prospecting through close
• Build relationships with executive buyers and technical influencers
• Partner closely with technical teams to shape compelling AI and data infrastructure solutions
• Work effectively with channel partners, OEMs, and system integrators where relevant
• Maintain accurate pipeline management, forecasting, and deal strategy
