Job description

Sales Director – Quantum Computing - Europe

About the company:

I’m working with a full-stack quantum computing company that designs and builds its own hardware and software, from the processor up to the tools customers use to run real workloads. The company is well funded and backed by leading investors. It has a strong team of scientists and engineers, and a commercial strategy built on getting quantum systems into customers’ hands now rather than years from now.

Its systems are already deployed with customers around the world, and the company works closely with HPC centres and enterprise users to integrate quantum into real-world computing workflows.

As commercial demand grows, the company is hiring Sales Directors in the EU to scale its go-to-market. This is a chance to sell production-ready quantum hardware, not a roadmap. Reporting directly to the CCO, you’ll be one of the first senior sellers in your region and will help shape how the company goes to market there.

You will:

• Own and build a new business pipeline across your region, from first conversation to signed deal
• Sell quantum computing systems into enterprise, government and research customers, often alongside their existing HPC investments
• Lead complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles with technical, procurement and executive buyers
• Work with technical and product teams to shape solutions around real customer use cases in areas such as simulation, optimisation and machine learning
• Help shape regional go-to-market strategy and feed market insight back to leadership

What we’re looking for:

• 10+ years in B2B sales, with a strong track record of winning new business
• Experience selling hardware: compute, servers or HPC systems
• HPC experience is essential
• A history of selling into industries such as pharma, materials science, manufacturing, defence or government
• Quantum experience is not required. If you understand how HPC and compute infrastructure are bought, you’ll pick up the rest

Nice to have:

• Experience selling HPC in the DACH region
• Sell a product that is already deployed and proven with customers
• Get in early at a company entering its commercial scale-up phase
• Work directly with the CCO and have real influence on strategy
• Move into one of the most important emerging markets in computing, building on the HPC expertise you already have
