About Cisco
Cisco's 345 sales-titled openings span its whole catalog: switching and data center networking, security and SASE, Splunk security and observability, ThousandEyes digital experience assurance, Isovalent cloud native security, workplace and services. Solutions engineers are the biggest group (127 openings, about 37%), with account executives close behind at 120, cut by segment (US Commercial, Global Enterprise, service provider, SMB and mid-market, and public sector from SLED and federal civilian to defense and the NHS) and by line, where portfolio AEs carry the full range and architecture AEs sell security, networking or workplace technology. Splunk, now a Cisco company, accounts for 76 of the titles: regional and defense AEs, forward-deployed SEs for the public sector, renewals specialists and virtual sales AEs hired for Spanish, Portuguese and Arabic speakers. The entry route is CSAP, a 12-month graduate program of bootcamp and three rotations that ends in an inside account executive seat, posted for the US, Japan, Germany, the UK, Sweden, the Netherlands and Switzerland, next to Splunk SDR desks and a few internships; customer experience success specialists, renewals managers and partner account executives look after the installed base and the channel. Only about a quarter of the openings have a US home site, while Japan holds about one in six (most in Tokyo's Minato ward) and India, the UK, Singapore, Germany and Australia follow.
