Softchoice, a World Wide Technology company, supports commercial and SMB markets in the U.S. and Canada.

WWT designs, deploys and operates the physical and logical foundations that make enterprise AI possible: GPU compute clusters, high‑performance networking, storage architectures, power and cooling systems, and the platforms that tie them together. As an eleven‑time NVIDIA Partner of the Year for AI and Deep Learning, WWT brings unmatched depth in AI infrastructure at enterprise scale.

• Shape demand through executive relationships, speaking engagements and thought leadership
• Position WWT’s capabilities in pre‑sales pursuits and strategic account plans

• Develop and present WWT’s point of view at industry events, executive briefings and partner forums
• Collaborate with and orchestrate our strategic partners on joint client engagements
• Mentor and develop senior technical talent

What We’re Looking For

• 15–20+ years in technology with genuine, demonstrable AI credibility
• 5+ years in a client‑facing senior technical leadership role (Field CTO, CTO, VP Engineering or Distinguished Engineer)
• Deep understanding of the AI ecosystem, including the elements required for success
• Commercial acumen: the ability to shape deals and position technical capability for business impact
• Stage and boardroom presence: confident presenting to boards, at conferences and in the media

Nice-to-haves

• Published thought leadership on AI, HPC or data centre architecture
• Existing relationships with the AI industry ecosystem
• Experience with sovereign AI and regulated‑industry infrastructure requirements

Why WWT

• Join a global technology leader with startup energy in the AI Infrastructure practice
• Work on the most advanced AI infrastructure deployments in EMEA: GPU superclusters, liquid cooling and InfiniBand fabrics
