About The Position

In this role, you’ll own the technical relationships with enterprise customers while your Client Executive counterparts manage the business side, and together, you’ll drive serious results.

You’ll help customers modernize their on-prem and hybrid environments, strengthen disaster recovery strategy, get AI-ready, and build infrastructure that’s designed for where they’re going, not just where they are today. It’s a role that blends technical depth with real business impact, where no two days look the same.
