• Cross‑Functional Collaboration: Work closely with Product, Marketing, Engineering, and Customer Success to ensure regional feedback is incorporated and customers are supported.
• Market Intelligence: Stay current on quantum developments in the UK & Nordics and provide insights to inform strategy and roadmap.

Requirements

• 15+ years of experience in enterprise software sales, business development, or commercial leadership roles, preferably in deep‑tech or emerging technology sectors.
• Strong network in the UK & Nordics tech ecosystem (especially enterprise, academic, or government verticals).
• Proven track record of meeting or exceeding revenue targets and building partnerships.
• Self‑starter with the ability to work independently and thrive in a fast‑paced, evolving environment.
• Excellent communication, negotiation, and relationship management skills.
• Knowledge of quantum computing or adjacent technologies is a strong advantage.
