• Informing our strategy and internal investments by identifying and engaging with prospects and actively utilising market information to guide our technical team.
• Representing CC at local events, conferences and meet‑ups and participating in speaking engagements – being the ‘face of CC’ in your region.

What you need to succeed:

• Ability to develop business in the Telecommunications domain working alongside other business development, project management and technical staff.
• Proven track record of complex, high-value, technical sales / business development.

• Experience of consultative business development, and taking business through the full account lifecycle from acquisition through project fulfilment to scaling.
• Market knowledge of technologies relevant to the future of communication networks including non-terrestrial networks, high altitude platforms, AI, 5G, 6G, and concepts such as virtualisation, AI‑RAN, massive MIMO as well as custom radio solutions.
• Ability to communicate at C‑Suite level, at conferences and to lead client interactions
• A degree in an appropriate technical domain
• Located on either coast, preferably Boston, but open to positions in the San Francisco Bay area, or greater LA area.

What we offer:

• Salary: $205k – $240k per annum
