Sales Manager, Inside Account Managers

We have an opportunity for a Sales Manager, Inside Account Managers. In this role, you will be responsible for building a high-performance sales culture focused on accountability, customer value, partner leverage, operational excellence, and predictable revenue growth. This role requires a hands-on sales leader with strong enterprise sales experience, the ability to develop talent, and a track record of exceeding goals in cybersecurity, networking, cloud, SaaS, infrastructure, or adjacent enterprise technology markets. 

Be a Contributor — What You’ll Do 

The Manager of Inside Account Managers is a frontline sales leadership role responsible for building, coaching, and developing a team of 10 Inside AMs within Infoblox's Growth Segment. This team manages approximately 1,200+ existing customer accounts focused on renewals, expansion, and product adoption— not new logo acquisition.

Be Prepared — What You Bring 

  • 5+ years of sales experience with experience managing, being a team lead or mentor

  • Experience developing early-career or first-time sellers — comfortable with high-touch coaching, role plays, and building confidence from the ground up
  • Customer-centric mindset — understands how to grow an installed base through relationship management, not just transactional selling
  • Experience with expansion and renewal motions — cross-sell, upsell, refresh, and platform migration plays
  • Disciplined operator — can manage forecast accuracy, pipeline hygiene, and activity metrics across a 10-person team
  • Thrives on developing people, not just managing numbers
  • Comfort with sales tools such as Salesforce, Clari, Salesloft, and Highspot
