Introduction
Sprout’s data center equipment business is scaling rapidly across multiple product classes. We need a results-driven sales professional to own the day-to-day selling of RAM, CPUs, HDDs, and servers — the core product categories that make up the bulk of our circular IT inventory. You’ll inherit a proven, high-performing book of business and be responsible for hitting revenue targets across each product class on a weekly, monthly, and quarterly basis.
You’ll work under the direction of the Product Manager, who sets product strategy, pricing, and inventory priorities. You’ll also partner closely with the Sourcing Manager, who secures supply to fill your deals. Your job is to own the bids, manage the buyer relationships, and make sure revenue keeps moving. Some GPU inventory may cross your desk, but the primary GPU/AI systems business will sit on the Velerity side with the Product Manager.
The Mission
Hit your numbers. Own the sales cycle end to end for data center products — from bid response through close — and ensure Sprout meets its revenue targets by product class every week. Build deep buyer relationships and act as the first point of contact for customers looking to purchase RAM, CPUs, HDDs, and servers.
