NETGEAR is seeking a highly motivated and experienced Territory Account Manager to drive growth through strategic channel partnerships and enterprise customer engagement.

This role is responsible for recruiting, developing, and managing value-added resellers (VARs), managed service providers (MSPs), distributors, and key commercial partners to accelerate adoption of NETGEAR’s enterprise networking portfolio, including switching, wireless access points, cloud-managed networking, and security solutions.

The ideal candidate is an aggressive, hunter-oriented sales professional with strong channel expertise, enterprise networking knowledge, and a proven track record of opening new accounts, winning competitive displacements, and driving sustained revenue growth.

This is a remote-based role with travel required up to 50% of the time.

Key Responsibilities

Partner & Channel Development

• Identify, recruit, onboard, and develop strategic IT channel partners (VARs, MSPs, integrators, distributors).

• Proactively identify and pursue whitespace opportunities within high-potential partner accounts, driving net-new pipeline and incremental revenue growth.

• Leverage partner programs strategically to unlock new revenue streams, expand certifications, and activate under-penetrated partner segments.

• Originate and co-develop high-value enterprise opportunities with partners, driving aggressive pipeline creation and competitive displacement.

• Establish credibility through deep solution expertise, positioning NETGEAR to win against competitors by proactively targeting key end customers and decision-makers.

Sales & Revenue Growth

• Develop and execute regional business plans to meet or exceed quarterly and annual revenue and margin targets.

• Identify, qualify, and close high-value enterprise networking opportunities.

• Build and maintain executive-level relationships (CEO, CTO, CIO, IT Directors, and decision-makers).

• Lead and support complex sales campaigns from prospecting through closure.

• Deliver accurate forecasting and maintain disciplined pipeline management in CRM systems.

Market & Strategy

• Analyze competitive landscape and market trends to identify growth opportunities.

• Provide strategic feedback to Product Management and Marketing on customer needs and emerging trends.

• Advise internal Sales and Channel leadership on optimizing partner program benefits to increase partner mindshare and market share.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with Sales Engineering, Marketing, Product Management, Technical Support, Operations, and Distribution teams to optimize sales outcomes.

• Leverage trade shows, partner events, and customer engagements as active prospecting and pipeline generation opportunities, not passive brand-building activities.

Required Qualifications

• 5–7+ years of experience in enterprise networking, channel account management, or related IT industry roles.

• Proven track record of consistently meeting or exceeding sales and revenue targets.

• Excellent communication, presentation, negotiation, and executive engagement skills.
