Megaport is experiencing exceptional growth in France, we are looking for driven individuals who want to influence that growth, and who are excited at the opportunity to further develop and expand Megaport in the French market. We want you to build a reputation for being an expert in the field of SDN, cloud interconnection and SD-WAN.

Reporting directly to the VP Sales EMEA, the role will help us to continue to expand our direct and indirect relationships with businesses in France, by promoting and selling our unique value proposition. If you’re seeking an opportunity that provides the ability to influence and drive impact, and be part of a rapidly growing, collaborative and agile sales organization this role is for you.

Research current business drivers, their business strategic objectives, internal investment areas and key stakeholders to inform the client account strategies. You will be required to use the information gathered on target markets, potential clients and the most favourable business models, and partner with the sales management and marketing teams to define the most effective strategies to penetrate markets effectively. Collaborate with members of the sales management, solutions architects and marketing teams to create go-to-market campaigns and programs that will be used to target potential markets and clients within those markets. You will support sales and solutions engagements to ensure go-to-market is understood and executed. Contribute to the pre-sales process by working with the relevant internal stakeholders to craft the best solution design for the client when required.

Indirect: Recruit, onboard and develop scalable channel partners to generate new business in existing accounts and new markets. Establish a trusted advisor relationship with partners by demonstrating a strong understanding of their businesses.
