Head of Sales

POSITION SUMMARY

Creative ITC is looking for a commercially driven Head of Sales to lead and grow our US business.

This is a true player-manager position. You will carry a personal sales target, originate and close strategic new business, and lead the US sales team to achieve its collective number. This is not a purely managerial role: we need a credible enterprise seller who enjoys being in front of customers, opening doors and leading complex opportunities from first conversation through to contract.

You will help establish Creative ITC as a leading technology partner to architecture, engineering, construction and other design-led organizations across the United States.

•  Performant - delivering the speed and user experience required by demanding applications

•  Predictable - providing greater commercial and operational certainty

•  Protected - safeguarding critical systems, applications and data

Our solutions include managed services, cloud infrastructure, virtual desktops, data platforms, cybersecurity and modern workplace services.

The successful candidate will bring:

•  A strong record of personally selling complex enterprise technology or managed services solutions.
