Build a market. Shape a brand. Drive growth across Europe's data centre industry.

- Data Centre Operators
- Hyperscalers & Colocation Providers
- Installation Contractors
- System Integrators

- Engage installers, contractors and system integrators involved in major projects
- Identify and develop strategic channel and distribution partnerships
- Drive product specification and qualification activities
- Create and manage a robust pipeline of new opportunities
- Position manufacturing scale, European production capability and supply chain strength as key differentiators
- Monitor market developments, competitor activity and emerging opportunities
- Represent the company at industry events and key customer meetings across Europe
What We're Looking For

- Data Centres
- Fibre Optics

- Connectivity Solutions
- Telecom Infrastructure
- Network Infrastructure
- Passive Networking Solutions
You'll likely have a background in:
- Business Development
- Strategic Account Management
- Channel Sales
- Market Development
- Enterprise Sales
Most importantly, you'll be someone who enjoys opening doors, creating opportunities and establishing new relationships in competitive markets.
Why This Role?
- Opportunity to build a market rather than manage existing accounts
- Significant autonomy and influence
- European territory with international exposure
- Strong manufacturing and supply chain backing
- High-growth data centre sector
- Direct and channel sales responsibility
- Long-term career progression within an expanding global organisation
