• Marketing & Industry Positioning
• Develop and oversee local marketing initiatives, ensuring Classiq’s visibility in the UK market.
• Engage with government bodies, industry leaders, and research institutions to establish Classiq as a quantum computing leader.
• Represent Classiq at key industry conferences, government events, and technical forums.
• Strategic Growth & Expansion
• Work closely with Classiq’s leadership to scale UK operations, with future potential for team expansion.
• Build long-term customer relationships and drive recurring business opportunities.
• Collaborate with technical and product teams to ensure customer success.

Qualifications & Experience

• Strong experience in selling complex technical solutions to technical buyers (CTOs, CIOs, engineering teams).

• Ability to operate independently in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment, with future potential to build and lead a team.
• Experience in multi-region sales (UK + Europe or UK + US) preferred.
• Excellent negotiation, strategic thinking, and leadership skills.

Why Join Classiq?

• Lead Classiq’s growth in the UK, with high autonomy and long-term career potential.
• Work with cutting-edge quantum computing technology at the forefront of innovation.
