Job Summary
NetApp’s Commercial Sales team is looking for a dynamic Commercial Account Manager to own and grow a large set of accounts across the New York territory. This is a high-impact, quota-carrying role with a strong emphasis on hunting new business, building whitespace, and expanding existing customer relationships. You will manage a high volume of accounts, partner closely with our value-added resellers (VARs), and leverage NetApp’s portfolio to solve customer challenges across infrastructure, data center, and cloud.
This role is ideal for a hunter at heart who thrives in a fast-paced, activity-driven environment, and wants the variety and opportunity that comes with managing a broad territory.
What You'll Do:
- Drive new business: Prospect, qualify, and close new customers within your assigned commercial territory.
- Expand existing accounts: Once you win a customer, you own them—renew, expand, and grow those relationships.
- Leverage partners: Build and maintain strong relationships with VARs to drive joint sales motions and maximize pipeline coverage.
- Manage high volume: Organize and prioritize across a large account set; stay on top of weekly activity, pipeline, and forecast.
- Sell consultatively: Apply MEDDICC methodology to uncover pain points, identify champions, influence economic buyers, and drive deals forward.
- Own your business: Operate with strong sales discipline—end each week with clarity on what’s next, and maintain a repeatable process for success.
- Collaborate cross-functionally: Work closely with sales engineers, channel managers, and NetApp leadership to deliver customer outcomes.
Job Requirements
- Proven sales experience: 5+ years of successful IT solution sales experience, preferably in infrastructure, data center, or related technology.
- Hunter mentality: Demonstrated success in building new business and driving whitespace opportunities.
- Commercial sales acumen: Ability to thrive in a territory with varied accounts (large logos to SMB), fast sales cycles, and high activity levels.
- Organized and disciplined: Skilled at managing multiple accounts, opportunities, and partner relationships simultaneously.
- MEDDICC fluency: Experience applying structured qualification and discovery methods to drive deals.
- Strong partner relationships: Ability to effectively leverage VARs and channel ecosystem to amplify reach and impact.
- Results-oriented: Track record of achieving or exceeding quota.
- Team player: Comfortable collaborating with peers and leadership while owning your personal number.

- Variety & opportunity: Commercial territories include both whitespace and well-known brands—providing both breadth and depth of opportunity.

Equal Opportunity Employer*
NetApp is firmly committed to Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) and to compliance with all federal, state and local laws that prohibit employment discrimination based on age, race, color, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, religion, disability or genetic information, pregnancy, protected veteran status and any other protected classification. We pledge to take every reasonable step to ensure that our applicants and employees are respected, treated fairly and with dignity. See the EEO poster, Know your rights poster, and NetApp EEO policy. NetApp makes reasonable accommodations, consistent with applicable laws, for religious purposes and for the known physical or mental limitations of an otherwise qualified applicant or employee with a disability, who can perform the essential job functions unless undue hardship would result.
State-specific postings/notices to applicants regarding contract compliance can be found here in English and here in Spanish, and fair employment practice information can be found here.
Reasonable accommodation
If you are an applicant with a physical or mental disability requiring an accommodation, or you require a religious accommodation for any part of our application process, please email careers@netapp.com. Each request for reasonable accommodation will be considered on a case-by-case basis, consistent with applicable laws and regulations. Please note, this email address is only for accommodation requests; we do not accept unsolicited resumes.
Data privacy
We care about your privacy and, therefore, ask that you read our Candidate Privacy Notice before you submit any personal information to us.
NetApp does not carry out any solely automated decision making (i.e. the process of making a decision by automated means without any human involvement) in determining your suitability or eligibility for specific roles.
However, the processing of your personal information is carried out with the aid of manual and automated tools. In particular, NetApp may use an automated employment evaluation tool or similar tool as one of several tools, actions, and/or steps to assist with NetApp’s review of candidate applications for various hiring needs. Currently, when addressing certain hiring needs, NetApp uses the Eightfold tool which can provide an initial ranking of a candidate’s skills and experience, based on information provided by the applicant in the application and/or supporting documentation, in comparison to the NetApp designated key requirements of a specific role. Additionally, the tool may be used to help review and/or rank internal employees seeking promotion or other internal mobility. However, our talent acquisition team or our recruiters will ultimately select the candidates for further consideration, following human review of any automated evaluation results and associated underlying documentation (or lack thereof) submitted with the candidates’ application.
An independent audit of the Eightfold Matching Model tool can be found at https://eightfold.ai/nyc-eightfoldmatching-model.
Candidates may request an alternative selection process which will not be subject to the Eightfold matching tool or to any electronic automated employment evaluation by contacting NetApp at careers@netapp.com. To bypass the Eightfold matching tool or any electronic automated employment evaluation, you must include a resume and job ID with your email to careers@netapp.com and you must include in the subject line of your email: Data Privacy Request. Candidates who have questions or want to request additional information on the source of data, type of data, and/or collection of data related to the candidate review process should contact NetApp at careers@netapp.com
