• Define and execute account and prospecting plans within target segments, combining outbound outreach, events, partnerships, and professional networks.
• Manage the end-to-end sales cycle, from qualification to negotiation and closing, with a strong focus on consultative selling and business value propositions.
• Build and maintain a strong, predictable sales pipeline, ensuring accurate forecasting and disciplined CRM updates.
• Meet and exceed new business, margin, and recurring revenue targets.
• Work closely with pre-sales, architecture, and delivery teams to develop proposals, deliver workshops and proofs of concept, and respond to RFPs and tenders.
• Build trusted relationships with key decision-makers (CIOs, CTOs, CFOs, and Heads of Infrastructure), acting as a trusted advisor on cloud and digital transformation decisions.
• Drive cross-selling and upselling opportunities across Claranet’s portfolio, collaborating with other practices (Security, Data & AI, and Networking) to develop integrated solutions.
• Manage relationships with partners and vendors (Microsoft, AWS, Google, among others), including co-selling opportunities and commercial programmes.
• Monitor market and competitive trends (data sovereignty, FinOps, compliance, and AI) and provide feedback to the Practice to support portfolio development.
• Report regularly to Practice leadership on pipeline, forecasts, sales activities, and risks.

You must have:

• Proven experience in B2B sales of IT/cloud services, with a track record of meeting sales quotas (ideally in consulting, managed services, or systems integration).
• Experience in consultative, long-cycle, high-value sales within enterprise or mid-market accounts, engaging with IT and business decision-makers (CIOs, CTOs, CFOs, and Heads of Infrastructure).
• Strong knowledge of the cloud market, including public cloud (Azure, AWS, GCP), private/hybrid cloud, workload migration and modernisation, and managed services models.
• Ability to build and manage a self-generated sales pipeline through proactive prospecting, qualification, accurate forecasting, and disciplined CRM management.
• Ability to articulate value propositions in terms of TCO, risks, and business benefits, rather than focusing solely on technical features.
• Experience working with pre-sales teams and architects to develop proposals, deliver workshops, and respond to RFPs.
• Excellent communication and negotiation skills in Portuguese and English, both written and spoken, with fluency in both languages.
• A relevant professional network in the Portuguese (or Iberian) market, within target segments.

• Foundational or sales-oriented cloud certifications (AZ-900, AWS Cloud Practitioner, or equivalent).
• Knowledge of business-critical workloads, including SAP, Oracle, databases, and enterprise platforms running in the cloud.
• Awareness of emerging topics such as data sovereignty, FinOps, security, compliance (NIS2, DORA, GDPR), and AI.
• Experience in the public sector and knowledge of public procurement processes, including tenders and framework agreements.
• Familiarity with structured sales methodologies (MEDDICC, Challenger, SPIN, Solution Selling).
• Experience in cross-selling and upselling a broad portfolio of services, including infrastructure, consulting, managed services, and resale.
• A team-oriented mindset, collaborating across practices and business areas (Security, Data & AI, and Networking), with a focus on joint account planning.
• Autonomy, results-driven and entrepreneurial mindset, resilience, and technical curiosity.
• A degree in Engineering, Business Management, or a related field (preferred but not mandatory).

We offer:
