Full Time

Onsite/Hybrid - 2 days in London

World Wide Technology (WWT) is a global technology solutions provider with over US$20 billion in annual revenue, 14,000+ employees, and operations across the Americas, EMEA, and APAC. WWT combines strategy, execution, and partnership to help the world’s largest organisations adopt transformative technology, from cloud, networking and security to AI and advanced infrastructure.

You bring credibility across the full infrastructure stack, from applications and platforms down through networking, data centre, and AI infrastructure, combined with commercial instinct and boardroom presence. Critically, you understand how applications and workloads shape infrastructure requirements and can translate business outcomes into architectural decisions.

• Shape demand for WWT’s Advanced Infrastructure practice through executive relationships, speaking engagements, and thought leadership
• Bridge the gap between application requirements and infrastructure delivery, helping clients understand what their workloads demand from the underlying platform
• Guide clients through build-vs-buy decisions spanning data centre, networking, cloud, and managed services

Technical Leadership

• Develop and present WWT’s infrastructure point of view at industry events, executive briefings, and partner forums
• Articulate how emerging technologies, including AI infrastructure, private cloud, and edge compute, integrate with existing application estates and business processes
• Support pre sales pursuits and strategic account plans, positioning WWT’s full breadth of infrastructure and services capability

Partnerships & Practice Development

• Collaborate with Cisco, NVIDIA, HPE, Dell, and other strategic partners on joint client engagements
• Mentor and develop senior technical talent within the Advanced Infrastructure practice
• Inform WWT’s practice strategy and investment priorities based on market signals from client engagements
• Represent WWT at industry forums covering data centre, networking, AI infrastructure, and cloud
