About The Position

NetApp's Corporate Sales organization is expanding, and we are seeking a Corporate District Sales Manager to lead our Southeast Region. This is a front-line people leadership role with complete responsibility for team performance, pipeline health, forecast accuracy, and execution. In this position, you will establish direction and operating rhythm for the district, coach and develop Corporate Account Executives, and collaborate with Solutions Engineering, Channel, and Sales Leadership to achieve consistent results. Success hinges on a leader who can translate strategy into action, foster accountability through inspection and coaching, and cultivate a high-performing sales culture. This district presents a significant growth opportunity for NetApp, featuring an established team, an active pipeline, and substantial untapped potential within the Southeast region's customer base. This is a remote opportunity, but candidates must reside in the Southeast and be willing to travel for customer meetings, partner engagements, team events, and quarterly business reviews throughout the territory.
