About Submer

At Submer, we are redefining how data centers are built, integrated, and operated, with sustainability, efficiency, and innovation at the core. The Middle East and Africa (MEA) are strategic growth regions for our company. We are looking for a Strategic Sales Manager to join our team and take a leading role in driving large-scale, transformative projects across enterprise customers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

This is not a traditional sales role. We are seeking a senior sales leader with a consultative mindset to drive growth in KSA. You should be someone who listens deeply, understands the broader customer context, and guides clients toward optimal strategies for building and operating high-performance data centers on a scale. Whether it’s optimizing existing infrastructure, validating ambitious plans, or co-designing greenfield deployments, you will be at the heart of shaping tomorrow’s data infrastructure.

What impact you will have

You will be instrumental in transforming how the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia builds and powers its digital future. You will not only help our enterprise customers achieve their technical goals, but you will also shape their strategic vision and turn innovation into tangible results. Your impact will be measured in the success of sustainable AI factories, the efficiency of next-generation data centers, and the long-term relationships you build.

What you’ll do

Lead Strategic Customer Engagements

• Act as a trusted advisor to enterprise customers, engaging deeply to understand their strategic needs, challenges, and ambitions.
• Translate complex requirements into tailored solution roadmaps that may include design validation, full-stack integration, or infrastructure optimization.
• Drive meaningful conversations with C-level stakeholders, positioning Submer as a long-term innovation partner.

Drive commercial growth

• Lead strategic sales initiatives focused on large-scale enterprise projects.
• Identify, cultivate, and close opportunities that align with Submer’s value proposition around sustainable, scalable infrastructure.
• Monitor industry trends, funding programs (e.g., PIF-backed AI and digital transformation initiatives), and regulatory developments to anticipate market shifts.

Foster cross-collaboration

• Partner closely with Solution Architects and internal teams (Design & Build, R&D, Marketing, Customer Support, AI Cloud) to co-develop proposals that deliver measurable business value.
• Align regional initiatives with Submer’s global strategy, ensuring consistent execution and messaging.
• Provide structured feedback to product and R&D teams based on customer and market needs.

Build long-term partnerships and market presence

• Establish and nurture enduring relationships with customers, strategic partners, and ecosystem players.
• Support customers beyond the sale to ensure long-term success and expand collaboration opportunities.
• Represent Submer at key industry events, forums, and government initiatives to strengthen brand presence in the Kingdom.

What you’ll need

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Engineering, IT, or related field (MBA or postgrad preferred).
• Proven track record in consultative, strategic enterprise sales within the data center, cloud, or IT infrastructure industries.
• Deep understanding of data center ecosystems, including design, integration, sustainability, and performance optimization.
• Experience working on large-scale, high-impact enterprise projects (e.g., regional deployments, hyperscale data centers).
• Strong business acumen and ability to influence C-level and senior enterprise decision makers.
• Analytical and systems-thinking mindset with an ability to uncover opportunities through dialogue and data.
• Excellent communication, relationship-building, and stakeholder management skills across complex enterprise organizations.
• Fluent in English and Arabic.

What we offer

• Attractive compensation package reflecting your expertise and experience.
• A great work environment characterized by friendliness, international diversity, flexibility, and a hybrid-friendly approach.
• You’ll be part of a fast-growing scale-up with a mission to make a positive impact, offering an exciting career evolution.

Our job titles may span more than one job level. The actual base pay is dependent on a number of factors, such as transferable skills, work experience, business needs and market demands.
