Sales Leader - Nutanix Database Service DACH (m/f/d)

Hungry, Humble, Honest, with Heart.

The Opportunity

The database market is undergoing a fundamental transformation driven by AI adoption, data sovereignty requirements, regulatory pressure, and cloud repatriation. Germany sits at the center of this shift, with strong demand across regulated industries, the public sector, and large enterprises seeking secure, compliant, and cost-efficient database platforms.

Nutanix Database Platform (NDB) enables customers to run databases securely and efficiently across on-premises, sovereign cloud, and public cloud environments, delivering automation, compliance, and cost control where it matters most.

To accelerate growth, Nutanix has established a dedicated global sales organization focused exclusively on database workloads, working alongside the core infrastructure sales teams. Nutanix infrastructure powered by NDB already supports mission-critical database platforms for enterprise customers and MSPs worldwide. We are now expanding this proven model further, providing the tools, assets, and support required to operate autonomously and build qualified pipeline from day one.
