The market is moving fast. AI is no longer a future initiative—it is becoming foundational to the modernization of the U.S. Army.

That creates a compelling opportunity for the right enterprise seller.

At DDN, you will be positioned at the intersection of:

AI infrastructure

High Performance Computing (HPC)

Army modernization

Cloud and data center transformation

Mission-critical defense technology

If you want to sell strategic infrastructure that supports some of the most demanding defense missions in the world, this is that opportunity.

What you will do

Own and grow a portfolio of U.S. Army enterprise accounts within your assigned territory

Partner closely with solution architects and technical teams to develop AI, HPC, storage, and data infrastructure solutions aligned to mission requirements

Collaborate with channel partners, OEMs, systems integrators, and defense contractors to drive strategic opportunities

What great looks like

You are likely a strong fit if you bring:

7–10 years of enterprise technology sales experience selling infrastructure, storage, compute, networking, cloud, AI, or data center solutions

A successful track record selling into the U.S. Army or broader Department of Defense

Experience building executive relationships with government decision makers, program leadership, and technical organizations

Demonstrated success driving net-new business, territory expansion, and strategic account growth

Who will love this role

Enterprise sellers who enjoy owning strategic Army accounts and developing long-term customer relationships

Hunters who excel at identifying new opportunities and navigating complex defense organizations

Sales professionals who can translate advanced technology into mission value

Individuals who thrive in high-impact, technically sophisticated enterprise sales environments

Who should probably not apply

Professionals focused primarily on customer success, alliances, or sales engineering rather than quota-carrying enterprise sales

Sellers who prefer highly transactional, short-cycle opportunities

Leaders who are no longer interested in personally owning strategic enterprise opportunities
