We are looking for a Hyperscaler sales leader to own and scale our go-to-market with Microsoft, AWS, and Google Cloud. This role sits at the intersection of field sales GTM, Cloud Marketplace, Alliances Co-Sell Execution, Partner Sales, and is accountable for building revenue-generating motions with the world’s three most important cloud platforms.
You will collaborate with your sales region’s Hyperscaler ecosystem—aligning executive stakeholders, embedding with field sellers, activating Marketplace as a growth engine, and operationalizing co-sell motions and leveraging joint events that consistently drive pipeline, bookings, and strategic growth. This role will directly influence regional and global cloud strategy, partner investment, and revenue acceleration.
How you will spend your time (what you will own):
Build and run joint GTM motions with Microsoft, AWS, and Google Cloud field teams (sales, solution architects, partner orgs, industry teams).
Drive joint pipeline creation, co-selling discipline, and partner-sourced revenue. Owning Hyperscaler influenced revenue, forecasting & operating cadence.
Drive joint account planning with Hyperscaler sales leadership to land and expand in priority customers.
Act as escalation point for Hyperscaler deal strategy, incentives, funding motions, and exec alignment.
Partner closely across Cohesity Sales, Channel, Product, Marketing, Sales Ops, and Legal to remove friction and accelerate time-to-revenue.
Build a repeatable operating rhythm with weekly pipeline reviews.
We’d love to talk with you if you have the following:
10+ years in Cloud GTM and Hyperscaler Alliances.
Demonstrated success driving co-sell revenue with Microsoft, AWS, and/or Google Cloud
Hands-on experience transacting through Cloud Marketplaces (Private Offers, MACC / EDP / CUD motions, partner-led deals).
Strong executive presence with the ability to operate from field seller to Hyperscaler VP level.
Proven track record of building joint GTM motions that move pipeline and close revenue.
Ability to operate cross-functionally across Sales, Product, Marketing, Finance, Legal, and Ops.
Comfort in ambiguous, fast-moving environments where playbooks are built—not handed down.
