The successful candidate will build strong relationships with hyperscalers, neocloud providers, colocation companies, data center operators, and technology partners-translating their infrastructure requirements into differentiated solutions spanning integrated racks, liquid cooling, power systems, manufacturing, supply chain, logistics, and lifecycle services.

The position will be accountable for developing a high-quality opportunity pipeline, securing new business, expanding strategic accounts, and delivering revenue and operating-profit growth against individual and team objectives.

  • Lead early-stage customer engagement-from account targeting and opportunity qualification through solution development, commercial alignment, proposal creation, and business award.
  • Coordinate with global account management, engineering, operations, supply chain, finance, and executive leadership to develop solutions that are technically credible, operationally executable, and financially attractive.
  • Develop commercial strategies and business cases that address pricing, investment requirements, capacity, risk, profitability, and return on investment.
  • Maintain a disciplined pipeline, including opportunity value, probability, timing, decision criteria, competitive position, risks, and actions required to advance each opportunity.
  • Support existing accounts in identifying adjacent opportunities and expanding SpinCo's role across the customer's product and infrastructure roadmap.
  • Serve as the commercial focal point during the development and launch of new opportunities, ensuring continuity from initial customer engagement through program transition and execution.
  • Monitor market trends, customer investments, competitive activity, and technology developments across cloud, AI infrastructure, liquid cooling, and data center power.
  • Represent SpinCo professionally and consistently in all interactions with customers, partners, and internal stakeholders.


The experience we're looking to add to our team:
  • A Bachelor's degree in engineering, sciences, business or a related field.
  • Typically requires 5-10 years of related experience in Electronic Manufacturing Services, Datacenter or Cloud B2B Services sales
  • Experience working with and selling into datacenter customers, such as hyperscalers, Neocloud and data center operators and colocation providers
  • Ability to work with internal teams and executive management as well as external customers to maximize mutual benefit.
