Claris Enterprise Field Sales Representative

The people at Claris don't just build software — they build the infrastructure layer that makes Apple's AI story real in schools, enterprises, and government organizations. As part of the Enterprise Sales team within the Claris division, you'll work at the intersection of Apple's education and enterprise sales motion and one of the most consequential technology shifts in a generation: the move to AI-ready infrastructure.   Claris' Data Analytics and AI clustering platforms add a compelling component to Apple's strong story around AI, privacy, and security. We open new rooms, introduce new decision-makers, and help organizations understand what AI- ready infrastructure actually looks like in practice. Work alongside Apple's education and enterprise sales teams in the field — co- selling, co-presenting, and helping qualify strategic accounts across K–12 districts, higher education institutions, enterprises, and government organizations. You will position the Claris' emerging AI tools in the context of each customer's business, infrastructure, and AI ambitions.   Generate, qualify, and develop pipeline across all three Claris AI revenue streams — Pulse Cloud, Pulse On-Prem, and AI cluster licensing — and ensure that the leads you originate and qualify are developed with full context, a clear use case, and a warm relationship already established such that they can be carried to completion or handed off to Inside Sales teams.   Represent Claris at Apple's global Executive Briefing Centers (EBCs) and conferences, delivering or supporting persona-specific demo narratives for incoming customer profiles. Show up at Apple-led one-to-many field events and qualify from the audience.   Help identify and engage organizations with executive AI vision and existing Apple silicon. Keep them engaged through the discovery process. Convert pipeline generated through association partnerships into qualified accounts. These leads are time-sensitive; follow-up must be fast. Log every meeting and customer interaction in the Claris CRM.
