The Role

This position focuses on driving growth across all accounts not currently managed by an Account Executive, including the full install base, dormant accounts, and new inbound opportunities. TAEs are responsible for expanding Pure's footprint, reigniting customer relationships, and capturing new business through a combination of direct engagement and partner collaboration.

- Maintain Sales Discipline: Diligently manage sales technology (Salesforce), deliver accurate forecasts, and maintain strong time management to thrive in a fast-paced, team environment.
- We are primarily an in-office environment and therefore, you will be expected to work from the Staines office in compliance with Pure's policies, unless you are on PTO, or work travel, or other approved leave.

- Communication & Presence: Strong verbal and written communication skills suitable for engaging with business leaders and maintaining professional business relationships.
- Resilience & Focus: A competitive, positive attitude combined with strong organizational and time management skills necessary to handle a dynamic, high-activity territory.
