Client Executive

The Client Executive role for NetApp in the Suisse Romande region puts you at the centre of the company’s growth strategy. NetApp supplies enterprise‑grade storage and data‑infrastructure services that are embedded in the major public clouds, helping organisations turn data into business advantage. As the regional sales leader you will own the full revenue target, manage a portfolio of accounts and be responsible for expanding NetApp’s footprint across the territory. In practice you will be expected to develop and execute account plans that generate a steady pipeline and close new business. You will cultivate multi‑level relationships from IT managers to C‑suite executives, positioning NetApp as a trusted partner. The role covers the entire sales cycle – prospecting, qualification, deal design and final closure – while you coordinate pre‑sales specialists and external partners to win complex opportunities.

The position requires a seasoned sales professional with at least ten years of high‑performance B2B experience, preferably in infrastructure, data‑center or cloud markets. A proven history of surpassing quota and a strong hunter mindset are essential, as is the ability to influence senior decision‑makers and build lasting relationships. You must be highly proactive, resilient and comfortable with cold outreach in competitive environments. Strong business acumen, the capacity to translate technology into clear business value and solid knowledge of modern compute, storage and cloud solutions are mandatory. An established network in the Suisse Romande area, willingness to travel throughout Switzerland, native‑level French and fluent English are also required. NetApp promotes a hybrid working model that blends office presence with remote flexibility, supporting collaboration and a strong cultural fit. The company values bold thinking, initiative and ownership, offering an environment where personal ambition can be balanced with life outside work.
