• Generate sustainable revenue growth by driving new customer acquisition, expanding strategic accounts, and partnering closely with Channel Partners, Strategic Alliances, and Cloud Providers to create and win new opportunities.

• Build executive relationships from initial engagement through proof of concept, production deployment, and long-term account expansion.
• Develop and present executive-level business proposals that clearly demonstrate how the VAST platform enables customers to achieve their business and technology objectives.
• Build a predictable engine for new logo acquisition, whitespace expansion, and strategic workload adoption across the district.
• Partner closely with Product, Engineering, and Executive Leadership to bring market feedback into product strategy and help shape VAST's long-term growth.
• Success in this role will be measured by the team's ability to consistently create, develop, and win new strategic opportunities while expanding VAST's footprint across the world's most important enterprise organizations.
