## Description

The market is moving fast. AI is no longer a future initiative—it is becoming foundational to the modernization of the U.S. Army. From AI-enabled operations to high-performance computing and next-generation data infrastructure, Army organizations are investing in technologies that improve mission readiness and operational advantage. That creates a compelling opportunity for the right enterprise seller.
At DDN, you will be positioned at the intersection of:

- AI infrastructure

- High Performance Computing (HPC)

- Army modernization

- Cloud and data center transformation

- Mission-critical defense technology

If you want to sell strategic infrastructure that supports some of the most demanding defense missions in the world, this is that opportunity.
**What you will do**

- Own and grow a portfolio of U.S. Army enterprise accounts within your assigned territory

- Create and convert net-new business opportunities across Army organizations and supporting defense ecosystems

- Lead complex, multi-stakeholder enterprise sales cycles from prospecting through close

- Build trusted relationships with Army leadership, program offices, technical stakeholders, acquisition organizations, and industry partners

- Partner closely with solution architects and technical teams to develop AI, HPC, storage, and data infrastructure solutions aligned to mission requirements

- Collaborate with channel partners, OEMs, systems integrators, and defense contractors to drive strategic opportunities

- Maintain accurate pipeline management, forecasting, territory planning, and account strategy across long federal sales cycles

**What great looks like**
You are likely a strong fit if you bring:

- 7–10 years of enterprise technology sales experience selling infrastructure, storage, compute, networking, cloud, AI, or data center solutions

- A successful track record selling into the U.S. Army or broader Department of Defense

- Experience building executive relationships with government decision makers, program leadership, and technical organizations

- Demonstrated success driving net-new business, territory expansion, and strategic account growth

- Strong communication, executive presentation, negotiation, and forecasting discipline

**Preferred background**

- Experience supporting Army modernization initiatives and defense technology programs

- Familiarity with Department of Defense acquisition processes and partner ecosystems

- 7–10 years of enterprise sales experience

- Based in or near one of these preferred markets: Washington, DC; Northern Virginia; Huntsville, AL; Tampa; Colorado Springs; San Antonio; Raleigh; or other major defense technology hubs

**Who will love this role**

- Enterprise sellers who enjoy owning strategic Army accounts and developing long-term customer relationships

- Hunters who excel at identifying new opportunities and navigating complex defense organizations

- Individuals who thrive in high-impact, technically sophisticated enterprise sales environments

**Who should probably not apply**

- Candidates whose experience is primarily SMB or mid-market sales

- Professionals focused primarily on customer success, alliances, or sales engineering rather than quota-carrying enterprise sales

- Sellers who prefer highly transactional, short-cycle opportunities

- Leaders who are no longer interested in personally owning strategic enterprise opportunities
