THE ROLE

As the Nordic Country Manager, you will be the strategic catalyst for Pure Storage’s "lightspeed" growth across the region.

• Drive Strategic Growth: Deliver predictable business results, including annual bookings goals and new logo production, while maintaining a rigorous 4X pipeline to ensure long-term territory health.

• Lead the Ecosystem: Orchestrate the "extended" Pure team—including SEs, Channel Managers, and Inside Sales—to execute complex on-premise and cloud sales strategies.

• Cultivate Partnerships: Build and maintain high-impact relationships with channel partner principals and leadership teams to expand our market reach and influence.

• Operational Rigor: A process-oriented mindset with the ability to identify root causes, solve complex problems, and manage multiple strategic priorities simultaneously.

• Location: We are primarily an in-office environment and therefore, you will be expected to work from the Stockholm office in compliance with Pure’s policies, unless you are on PTO, or work travel, or other approved leave.
