About The Position

Nasuni is seeking a Strategic Account Manager to own and grow a portfolio of named enterprise accounts across the East region. This role includes both existing customers and high-priority prospects, with responsibility for creating new pipeline, expanding customer relationships, and driving revenue growth through complex enterprise sales cycles. This is a field-oriented enterprise sales role for someone who can build momentum in large accounts, engage senior business and technology leaders, and work effectively across direct, channel, and cloud alliance motions. The right candidate brings a balanced hunter/farmer profile: able to create new opportunities while also expanding existing enterprise relationships through strong account strategy, executive engagement, and disciplined execution. This role is best suited for a curious, humble, resilient seller who thrives in complex customer environments, is energized by getting in front of customers, and can partner closely with Sales Engineering, Customer Success, Marketing, Alliances, and channel partners to deliver measurable business outcomes. In this role, you will own a named book of enterprise accounts across the East region and be accountable for pipeline creation, deal execution, account expansion, and revenue results. You will lead multi-stakeholder sales cycles involving technical, financial, procurement, and executive buyers, while positioning Nasuni as a key part of customers’ modern data infrastructure strategies. You will operate with autonomy while collaborating across Nasuni’s go-to-market organization to develop account plans, identify whitespace, engage the partner ecosystem, and advance strategic opportunities. Success requires strong field discipline, executive presence, structured sales execution, and the ability to sell complex technology in infrastructure-adjacent environments.
