Associate Corporate Account Executive

Job Summary

The corporate and mid-market landscape is being reshaped by three unstoppable forces: AI adoption, cloud optimization pressure, and the urgent need to displace aging infrastructure. Companies in this segment are moving fast — but they need the right partner to guide them. Net App is built for this exact moment — with a simplified portfolio, proven cloud credentials, and the speed to meet mid-market buyers where they are.

Joining Net App's Corporate Segment now means being at the leading edge of a purpose-built GTM motion with direct investment, executive visibility, and a clear mandate to win. Our culture is grounded in three principles: innovate to elevate, drive results, excel as a team. These are more than words. They define how we show up, how we sell, and how we grow.

As an Associate Corporate Account Executive, you play a pivotal role as the trusted advisor to corporate and mid-market customers — driving outcomes, expanding relationships, and growing Net App's business through its integrated cloud, data, storage, security, and AI platform across four focused motions:
Hybrid Cloud, Cloud, Keystone, and Cyber. This is a role for sellers who want real ownership, fast-moving deal cycles, and the opportunity to build something from the ground up.
