NOTE: We anticipate beginning the interview process in early September. If you are selected to move forward in the hiring process, you will be contacted directly during that timeframe with further instructions. We truly appreciate your interest in joining our team and look forward to reviewing your application soon.
Job posting may be removed earlier if the position is filled or if a sufficient number of applications are received.
You will train alongside a diverse cohort of high-calibre individuals from across the APJC Region, building a rich professional network and long-lasting friendships. This hub-based environment provides a "safe-to-fail" setting where you can master your craft through AI customer simulations and mentored on-the-job activities.
Throughout the program, you will collaborate with Cisco Associate Solutions Engineers to provide technical solutions that drive business outcomes. You will expand your expertise across Collaboration, Security, Networking, and Cloud to bridge the gap between technical requirements and business value. You will learn from industry experts and dedicated coaches using our own leading-edge technology.
To support your growth, you will be paired with a mentor—a CSAP alumnus who has previously come through the program. Supported by a team committed to your success, you will earn industry-standard certifications and gain the expertise required to thrive in outstanding technical sales opportunities across our global organisation.
The CSAP Graduate Program is a 12-month global accelerator designed to develop high-potential individuals into Sales Champions. Built on a model of Education, Exposure, and Experience, the program offers a clear progression:
Month 1–3: Participate in immersive Bootcamp training and foundational skill-building.
Month 3–12: Complete three rotational assignments for real-world sales experience and quarterly competency checkpoints.
Beyond 12 months: Transition into an Inside Account Executive role to drive customer outcomes and build global relationships.
Our learning philosophy prioritises experiential growth, with the majority of your development occurring through coached, real-world practice within a hub-based cohort of peers. This immersive approach ensures you grow and learn through direct application rather than in isolation.
A key part of this Program is our AI-First Mandate. As an Associate Sales Representative (ASR) in our Global Sales Enablement & Acceleration team, you will build strong AI skills by using advanced learning platforms and artificial intelligence to design technical solutions and improve strategic decision-making. This trajectory is designed for those looking to outpace the traditional career curve! Through quarterly competency checkpoints, high-performers can validate their skills and fast-track into quota-carrying roles before the program concludes.
Upon completion of the 12-month Early In Career program, as an Inside Account Executive (IAE), you will join our Global Virtual Sales (GVS) team to connect customers with Cisco technologies that drive significant business outcomes. In partnership with Solutions Engineers, you will uncover new opportunities and build long-term relationships with your customers and partners.
