Job Summary NetApp’s Commercial Sales organization continues to scale, and we are hiring a Commercial District Sales Manager to lead our Silicon Valley Commercial Account Manager (CAM) team. This is a front‑line leadership role responsible for driving new customer acquisition and expansion across an active install base in a high‑velocity, channel‑led sales model.

You will own execution for a fast‑paced territory with significant whitespace opportunity, supported by world‑class Solutions Engineering, Channel, and Inside Sales teams. Success in this role requires a leader who can coach reps into consistent performers, build a disciplined operating rhythm, develop talent, and create urgency and accountability across the business.

This district is primed for growth, with a mix of tenured reps, active pipeline, and large untapped net‑new opportunity across the region.

Key Responsibilities

Lead, coach, and develop a team of Commercial Account Managers responsible for both new logo acquisition and install base expansion

Run a tight sales operating cadence including pipeline reviews, forecast accuracy, deal inspection, and weekly performance rhythms

Build and execute territory and account plans with a strong focus on whitespace, competitive takeout, and channel alignment

Partner closely with NetApp’s Channel/Alliances team to execute a fully partner‑led selling motion

Reinforce MEDDICC, Command of the Message, and deal qualification standards across the team

Partner with Solutions Engineering leadership to drive technical strategy, win plans, and customer engagement

Recruit, onboard, and develop sales talent, building a bench and raising performance standards

Motivate reps through visible leadership, consistent coaching, and high‑energy culture building

Inspect and improve deal velocity, discount discipline, and forecast hygiene

Represent the district in regional forecast calls, QBRs, and executive business reviews

Who You Are

A proven front‑line sales leader who has managed quota‑carrying sellers, not just run a book of business

Comfortable running high‑transaction, mixed install base + whitespace territories

Highly operational, you build clarity, process, and urgency into a fast‑moving environment

Skilled at motivating and developing reps, not just managing numbers

Deep experience in channel‑led GTM with partners as a major revenue lever

Confident in value‑selling, competitive strategy, and coaching reps through MEDDICC‑style qualification

Hands‑on leader who likes to be in the field, on customer calls, and alongside reps in the deal cycle

Energized by growth, building new process, and scaling a district into a top‑performing patch

Qualifications

7+ years in B2B technology sales with 2+ years leading quota‑carrying sellers (front‑line leadership required)

Must have background in infrastructure sales, storage, data management, cloud infrastructure, or adjacent enterprise platforms (not SaaS‑only)

Demonstrated success growing a commercial or mid‑market territory with high‑velocity deal cycles

Track record of hiring, developing, and retaining high‑performing sales talent

Experience managing a channel‑centric sales motion with strong partner alignment

Deep familiarity with pipeline, forecast, and deal inspection rigor

Experience with Force Management, MEDDICC, or similar enterprise sales methodologies

Must be based in the San Francisco Bay Area (no relocation, no remote exceptions)

Ability to travel within territory and to regional events as needed
