About Cohesity
What a Cohesity seller carries is backup, recovery and cyber resilience software (DataProtect, FortKnox cyber vaulting, threat detection, and the NetBackup line that came with the Veritas enterprise data protection combination), now joined by GAIA, an AI platform that searches and reasons over the data customers already protect, pitched to CIOs, CISOs and infrastructure teams. Quota carriers are cut by segment and patch: strategic, enterprise and commercial account executives own US metro or state territories on an annual quota split between new logos and expansion, a federal team sells by agency group (Army, the intelligence community, SSA and Postal) from the Washington area, and a SLED and public healthcare team covers state and local government, schools and public hospitals. Overlay specialists sit on top of the core AE: a new security specialist team owns the security number with CISOs, AI sales specialists and AI solution architects open accounts for the new AI business unit, and sales engineers (field, federal and channel) own the technical win. Partner sellers run national resellers such as AHEAD, Accenture as its global systems integrator, the HPE OEM alliance and managed service providers, while SDRs and inside sales reps book meetings from an office in Heathrow, Florida five days a week, from Dublin desks hired by language (German, Nordic, Italian, Arabic, UK English) and from Singapore for ASEAN. Abroad, account executives and sales engineers sell across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, Japan, Southeast Asia, India, Australia and Latin America, with technical account managers in Tokyo and Germany handling adoption, renewals and upsell after the sale.

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.
