Our Team:

The Commercial team is a high-performing, strategic group driving Semtech's transformation into an industry-leading demand generation organization. We recognize that our rep partners are strategic extensions of our go-to-market engine and critical force multipliers for reaching customers we can't serve directly. We thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment where tenacity, grit, and collaboration define our culture, measuring success by the trust we build with customers and partners, the innovative solutions we deliver together, and the market share we capture through disciplined execution.

Job Summary:

The Regional Sales Manager will serve as a market share warrior, trusted customer advisor, and strategic partner orchestrator—driving explosive revenue growth through world-class demand generation across direct accounts and rep-covered territories. This high-impact position combines strategic vision with competitive sales instincts, orchestrating complex deals while building best-in-class rep firm relationships that multiply market reach.

Success requires becoming a trusted advisor whom customers welcome into confidential discussions while creating strategic partnerships where rep firm success directly fuels Semtech's growth. You'll leverage consultative discovery to uncover business consequences and decision criteria driving customer choices, while coaching reps to do the same. Success will be measured by market share gains, customer and partner loyalty, design-win velocity, and pipeline conversion at industry-leading rates.
