About this role

This role requires a true hunter mentality combined with the ability to engage technical and business stakeholders alike. You will work closely with founders, CTOs, engineering leaders, product teams and developers, helping customers move from experimentation to production-scale applications.
You will collaborate closely with AWS, Microsoft and Google Cloud teams, as well as consulting and technology partners, participating in AI-focused events, startup communities and ecosystem initiatives across the region. This is a unique opportunity to sit at the intersection of enterprise technology, venture-backed innovation and the next generation of AI-powered applications.
The successful candidate will become a trusted advisor to some of the region's most innovative companies as they navigate modernization, cloud transformation and AI adoption.
