• Leverage your existing industry network and relationships to create new opportunities and open doors with prospective customers.
• Develop strong relationships with senior technical, commercial and executive stakeholders.
• Lead consultative sales engagements, understanding customers' growth plans and positioning Colt's digital infrastructure and connectivity solutions accordingly.
• Create strategic account plans that support both immediate opportunities and longer-term customer growth.
• Work closely with engineering, product, business development and marketing teams to deliver the right solutions and a strong customer experience.
• Maintain disciplined pipeline management, forecasting and qualification using modern sales methodologies.
• Travel as needed across the US to meet existing and prospective customers.

What we're looking for

• Established relationships and a strong existing network within the Neocloud, Neoscaler, AI infrastructure and/or GPU cloud ecosystem.
• The ability to use those relationships to access key decision-makers, develop new opportunities and build long-term commercial partnerships.
• Proven experience in a hybrid sales role combining account development and new-logo acquisition.
• A strong track record of growing existing customers through relationship development, account penetration and identifying new revenue opportunities.
• Demonstrable success winning new customers within telecoms, cloud, datacentre, AI/GPU or digital infrastructure.
• Strong understanding of the Neocloud/Neoscaler landscape and the infrastructure requirements of rapidly scaling technology businesses.
• Ability to engage credibly with senior technical and business decision-makers.
• Strong consultative selling skills with the ability to uncover opportunities and influence customers' longer-term strategies.
• Commercial acumen, curiosity and a genuine interest in emerging technologies.
• A proactive, entrepreneurial approach, combining the drive to win new logos with the relationship skills needed to grow strategic accounts.
