Drive Revenue Growth: Partner with Area VP of Sales to execute the technical GTM plan, directly contributing to high double-digit ARR growth across the region.
Own Pre-Sales Excellence: Guide teams through complex enterprise sales cycles — discovery to POC to close — engaging CIO, CTO, and CISO audiences with compelling technical narratives.
Shape Technical Strategy: Define how Cohesity’s data security, backup, and secondary storage solutions are positioned and differentiated across ASEAN markets.
Represent ASEAN on the Global Stage: Participate actively in worldwide pre-sales and product forums — sharing customer wins, field insights, and ASEAN-specific requirements to directly influence Cohesity’s global product and solution roadmap.
Enable the Channel: Lead technical engagement with key channel and alliance partners, building scalable SE programs across the region.
Be the Regional Spokesperson: Represent Cohesity at senior customer briefings, industry events, analyst engagements, and media opportunities across Southeast Asia.
Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Bridge regional customer needs with Product Management, Engineering, Customer Success, and Marketing — ensuring ASEAN perspectives shape global priorities and roadmap investments.
