You will make an impact in the following way:
- You will be the owner of a defined set of sales targets aligned to the responsibilities of the role, taking accountability for meeting and exceeding these targets over a sustained period.
- Develop and execute a regional sales plan to meet and exceed annual profitability and revenue targets and increase market share as well as proactively identify and acquire new customers with a particular focus on Tier 1, 2 Telco and AltNets, AI/DC Cloud Providers, Systems Integrators, Strategic Tier 1 VAR Partners and Enterprise customers.
