About AHEAD
AHEAD resells and integrates the platforms enterprise IT runs on (data center, network, cloud, security, observability and AI, from partners such as Cisco, Dell, VMware by Broadcom, Palo Alto Networks, Dynatrace and NVIDIA) and wraps them in its own advisory, professional and managed services, rack integration through AHEAD Foundry and its Hatch IT lifecycle platform. Client Directors own the accounts inside regional core sales teams run by EVPs and managing directors, and each works with a client solutions engineer who owns the technical side of the sales campaign and hands the sold work to consulting and delivery. Practice overlays sell across a region on top of that core: security sales specialists under a managing director for the West, an AI sales specialist who closes services-led AI engagements, and specialist solutions engineers for network, observability, identity security (CyberArk privileged access) and managed services, the last under a director who also runs the config and quote desk. Alliance staff work the vendor side, such as a partner manager who owns the go-to-market plan with VMware by Broadcom, and the Financial Solutions Group puts directors in sales territories to structure financing for large product and software deals. The postings ask for experienced enterprise sellers, presales engineers and leaders, while the agentic solutions architect posting is an internal IT seat that builds agents on AHEAD's own platform rather than selling. Its sellers work from US metros, hybrid or remote, and network presales engineers also work from Gurugram, Bangalore and Hyderabad in India.

SalesJobs.Now is free for job seekers. Some links here pay us: a job ad network pays for a click on one of its sponsored jobs, a recruiting firm pays a referral fee when someone who came from here is hired, and a career tool pays a commission when you buy it. That costs you nothing and never lowers what you are paid. Roles whose links pay us can be placed higher in a list. "Featured roles" are openings an employer picked during a free trial with us; no employer can pay for that spot.
