• Understand how the DCs are evolving, ensuring euNetworks develops network, solutions and a Joint Value Proposition to match.
• Work with our commercial and finance teams to build successful business cases.
• Work with the Sales Director to further boost digital enablement and integration.
• Effectively and efficiently manage sales activity through Salesforce.com, paying particular attention to data integrity.

What do we want from you?

• Significant years sales experience including significant time in relevant Telecoms/DC/bandwidth infrastructure
• An entrepreneurial mindset to approach challenges with new thinking, ownership and drive.

• Experience effectively and successfully leading virtual teams.
• Effective communication skills with customers, colleagues and partners.
• Fluent written and spoken English language skills are essential, including excellent negotiation skills in both languages. Other languages are a bonus.
• Great organisation and attention to detail.
• Self‑starter, with enthusiasm for building multiple relationships with our customers.
