Sales Manager, North Asia

Commvault is the gold standard in cyber resilience. We are seeking a proven commercial leader to take full ownership of our North Asia business across Hong Kong, Korea, and Taiwan.

This is a high-impact role with complete accountability for revenue growth, ecosystem activation, and complex enterprise deal execution. As the regional business owner, you will define and deliver the go-to-market strategy, driving disciplined execution across three distinct markets.

You will embed a partner-led growth engine, mobilising a focused ecosystem of Value Added Resellers, Global Systems Integrators, and strategic cloud alliances including AWS, Microsoft, Google, and Oracle. You will ensure Commvault is positioned within priority cyber resilience and digital transformation initiatives across the region.

Alongside ecosystem leadership, you will remain hands-on in the field, leading critical enterprise engagements, influencing C-level stakeholders, and controlling high-value, multi-stakeholder negotiations through to predictable close.

Key Responsibilities:

Regional Leadership & Strategy

• Own the Number: Deliver consistent quarterly and annual revenue targets across Hong Kong, Korea, and Taiwan.

• Market Strategy: Develop and execute a localized business plan for each of the three distinct markets, identifying high-growth verticals (e.g., FSI, Public Sector, Manufacturing) and tailoring Commvault’s Cyber Resilience messaging to local needs.

• Forecasting & Governance: Maintain rigorous forecast accuracy and pipeline hygiene, providing clear visibility to APJ leadership on the health of the business.

Channel Ecosystem & Alliances

• Partner-First Mentality: Shift the sales motion from "direct-only" to "partner-led." Actively cultivate relationships with executive leadership at key VARs and Distributors in the region.

• GSI & Alliance Activation: Drive specific co-sell motions with Global Systems Integrators (e.g., Accenture, Deloitte) and Cloud Alliances (AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud). Ensure Commvault is embedded in their digital transformation and cyber security reference architectures.

• Ecosystem Orchestration: Map partner capabilities to customer needs, ensuring that every deal has the right partner attached to maximize value and implementation success.

Direct Sales & Customer Engagement

• Executive Sponsorship: Personally engage with CIOs, CISOs, and business leaders at top-tier accounts. Act as the executive sponsor for critical deals, helping to navigate complex negotiations and close business.

• Co-Selling: Lead your team to work hand-in-glove with partners on direct customer engagements. Ensure your sales team is driving value in the field, not just fulfilling orders.

• New Logo Acquisition: Drive a "hunter" mentality within the team to capture market share from competitors, leveraging the partner ecosystem to uncover net-new opportunities.

Skills & Experience:

• Regional Expertise: 15+ years of software sales experience with at least 5+ years in a leadership role managing markets across Hong Kong, Korea, and Taiwan. Deep understanding of the cultural and business nuances in each territory is essential.

• Channel DNA: Proven track record of driving 50%+ of revenue through the channel. You must have existing relationships with key decision-makers at major VARs, GSIs, and Cloud Alliances in the region.

• Hybrid Sales Motion: Demonstrated ability to balance direct touch enterprise sales (managing complex, 7-figure deals) with indirect fulfillment. You know how to control a deal while letting the partner win.

• Domain Knowledge: Experience in Data Management, Cyber Security, Cloud Infrastructure, or SaaS is highly preferred.

• Language Skills: Fluency in English is required. Proficiency in Mandarin, Cantonese, or Korean is a significant advantage.

• Travel: Willingness to travel frequently between Hong Kong, Seoul, and Taipei (approx. 30-50%).
