Senior Account Manager

About the Company

Our client is a European-headquartered, mid-sized vendor specialising in Network Automation and Transformation Services. They work closely with leading OEMs and Telco Service Providers across Europe, delivering highly specialised software development and AI-driven network solutions.

A key differentiator is their strong Europe-based R&D capability, built in part through the strategic acquisition of senior engineering talent from tier-one vendors, giving them a local, high-calibre skills hub.

Their transformation services portfolio includes:

• AI Network Automation
• Field Operations AI Assistant
• Cloud OSS
• R&D Acceleration

The company has an established footprint in Europe and UK&I and is now investing in senior commercial talent to deepen existing relationships and drive new logo growth across Spain and wider Europe.

• Identify and qualify upsell and cross-sell opportunities across the full portfolio of AI and network automation services

New Business

• Proactively hunt for new opportunities across Southern Europe - targeting Telco Service Providers, OEMs, and related enterprise accounts
• Build and manage a healthy pipeline from initial outreach through to contract signature
• Develop and execute a regional go-to-market strategy in collaboration with senior leadership

Solution Positioning & Engagement

• Lead discovery conversations to understand customer network transformation roadmaps, OSS/BSS challenges, and AI adoption strategies
• Lead commercial negotiations and manage the end-to-end deal process, including contracting and governance compliance

Skills & Competencies

• Strong consultative and relationship-led sales approach, capable of navigating long cycles and complex stakeholder landscapes
• Ability to translate technical capability (AI, OSS, cloud-native network solutions) into business value for senior decision-makers
• Entrepreneurial mindset: self-starting, resilient, and comfortable shaping your own priorities without a large support infrastructure
• Excellent communication and presentation skills, with confidence engaging at CXO level
• Collaborative working style: able to operate effectively within an international, multicultural team

Languages & Location

• Spanish fluency required (native or near-native)
• Strong English language skills (business language for internal collaboration)
