VICE PRESIDENT, REGIONAL SALES - CENTRAL & NORTH
We have an opportunity for a Vice President, Regional Sales to join our EMEA sales leadership team, reporting to the SVP Sales – EMEA. In this pivotal role, you will lead Infoblox’s central and northern Europe business, with responsibility for revenue execution, forecast discipline, talent development, customer and partner engagement, and cross-functional alignment across a large, complex, multi-country region.
This role is a critical part of Infoblox’s EMEA sales transformation as we consolidate our operating model across our EMEA sales function. We are looking for a senior leader who can drive performance across mature and growth markets while helping build succession depth for the future of our EMEA organization.

- Create a rigorous customer-facing culture centered on value selling, executive relationships, repeatable account planning, and strong field execution

- Lead a consistent operating rhythm across daily execution, weekly forecast and deal reviews, monthly business inspections, quarterly business reviews, and annual planning, whilst transitioning the sales motion from a product centric process into a consumption led model
- Use approved AI tools and AI-enabled workflows to improve forecast quality, deal inspection, management cadence, and sales productivity across the region, applying strong judgment and validation before acting on outputs
