Our comprehensive, 24- month, Atlanta, GA based Technical Sales Development Program (TSDP) will prepare you for a successful career in technical sales as an Account Manager (AM) or in sales engineering as a Sales Engineer (SE).

An AM focuses on strengthening connections with current customers and identifying new business opportunities.
A Sales Engineer (SE) serves as the technical bridge between Ciena's current and future customers.

As a participant in this classroom-based and hands-on training program, you'll have ample opportunities for networking, mentoring, and coaching with engineers, architects, and other professional/technical personnel enterprise-wide.
You'll not only work with our sophisticated technology, but you'll also learn how to prospect for new business, solve problems, and learn to understand what excellent customer service looks like.
You'll undertake deep dives into Ciena's product portfolios and organization, customer landscape, network and engineering design, the end-to-end sales cycle and key functional groups such as Field Service, Technical Support, Professional Services, and Program Management.
At the conclusion of the training program, you may be asked to relocate to one of Ciena's nationwide markets.
