Qumulo's cloud data platform manages exabytes of the world's most demanding data, unifying files, objects, and every workload across edge, core, and cloud - including for many of the biggest names in Media, Entertainment, Gaming, and Sports.

About the Position:
Qumulo is growing our global Media, Entertainment, Gaming, and Sports business, and we're looking for an experienced leader for our MEGS sales team.

In this role you'll set the go-to-market plan for the vertical while stay in the deals as a player-coach, working with your reps in front of CTOs and the broadcast, production, and infrastructure leaders who buy at studios, broadcasters, post houses, sports leagues, and teams.

9 of the world's top 10 media and entertainment companies already trust Qumulo because it makes the cloud feel local - we give distributed creative teams real-time access to one shared copy of their media, from ingest to playout, whether it lives on-prem or across any cloud. Qumulo has been a Magic Quadrant Leader for File & Object Storage Platforms for 7 years running, won Best of Show at NAB 2026, and recently had a great turnout at IBC.

As our Global Client Director for MEGS, you will:

• Own and grow the global number for our Media, Entertainment, Gaming, and Sports business, including the forecast, the coverage model, and the headcount plan.

• Manage our MEGS vertical as if it was your own business, down to the P&L

• Hire, retain, and coach a small team of senior account executives working through long enterprise sales cycles in a niche space

• Build and grow executive relationships at studios, broadcasters, leagues, and teams, and sell as a player-coach on new-logo pursuits

• Drive complex HW/SW, cloud, and hybrid cloud sales involving OEMs, resellers, and cloud partners.

• Partner with Product, Engineering, and Marketing to align customer needs with the roadmap and run targeted account-based marketing.

• Be the face of Qumulo in the MEGS vertical and at industry events such as NAB, SVG, and SMPTE.

And our ideal Global Client Director will have:

• 10+ years experience selling complex technology (such as storage, cloud, infrastructure, data management or data protection, video, streaming, broadcast, or media asset management) into sports, media, broadcast, entertainment, or production organizations.

• Direct experience managing high-performance sales teams with a hands-on, player/coach model, including a track record of beating quotas

• A track record of landing major new logos through generated demand, not just partner-led or inbound pipelines.

• Fluency in how broadcast and production environments actually work, from ingest to playback, ideally with a focus on media workflows.

• Existing relationships with global media, entertainment, sports leagues or teams, or broadcast organizations

• The ability to travel across North America and globally for customer meetings and industry events.

• Bonus points for being active in NAB, SVG, or SMPTE, and/or having sold file or unstructured data storage solutions

The annual On-Target Earnings (OTE) for this role is $400,000 - $500,000 USD on an uncapped commission plan that leads the industry. Individual pay depends on various factors, such as role level, relevant experience and skills.

Benefits & Perks:

• Pre-IPO stock options

• Flexible time-off policy

• HSA and PPO health insurance options

• Dental and Vision insurance

• 401(k) plan
