Position Summary

The PNW Account Manager will own a strategically important territory covering Oregon and Washington. This is a territory-building role requiring a seller who can create activity, develop greenfield enterprise accounts, collaborate deeply with partners, and expand one major existing F100 retail relationship.

This is not a harvest-only role. Success will require disciplined prospecting, account mapping, partner trust-building, technical curiosity, and the ability to create pipeline before near-term revenue is obvious. The ideal candidate has proven experience building enterprise pipeline from limited starting points and is comfortable operating with ambiguity, persistence, and accountability.

Who Will Succeed in This Role

This role is best suited for a territory builder who has successfully created enterprise pipeline from scratch. The right candidate is energized by developing new relationships, mapping complex accounts, working with technical buyers, and creating momentum in accounts where NETSCOUT may not yet have an active buying cycle.

You will succeed here if you:

• Personally create sales activity rather than waiting for inbound leads or partner-sourced opportunities.
• Build trust with partner account teams while still owning the sales motion.
• Are comfortable with longer enterprise sales cycles and delayed revenue.
• Can work closely with Sales Engineering resources to connect technical use cases to business value.
• Stay disciplined when early activity does not immediately convert into pipeline.
• Take coaching well and adjust your approach when something is not working.
• Enjoy building a territory, not just managing an existing book of business.

• Personally generate prospecting activity through account research, executive mapping, partner collaboration, events, referrals, and direct outreach.
• Build relationships with partner account managers and regional partner teams, while maintaining ownership of account strategy and customer engagement.
• Work closely with dedicated Sales Engineering resources to identify technical use cases, shape discovery conversations, and translate NETSCOUT’s visibility and data value into business outcomes.
• Expand engagement within an existing strategic retail account by building relationships across infrastructure, network, ecommerce, SRE, security, and operations teams.
• Maintain disciplined CRM hygiene, account plans, weekly activity visibility, and pipeline inspection.
• Consistently call high and wide across technical, operational, and executive stakeholders.
• Adapt territory strategy based on activity results, customer feedback, partner intelligence, and pipeline conversion.
• Travel regularly within the PNW region for customer meetings, partner meetings, events, and territory development.
