Work where work matters.
Elevate your career at Qodea, where innovation isn't just a buzzword, it's in our DNA.
We are a global technology group built for what's next, offering high calibre professionals the platform for high stakes work, the kind of work that defines an entire career. When you join us, you're not just taking on projects, you're solving problems that don't even have answers yet.
You will join the exclusive roster of talent that global leaders, including Google, Snap, Diageo, PayPal, and Jaguar Land Rover call when deadlines seem impossible, when others have already tried and failed, and when the solution absolutely has to work.
Forget routine consultancy. You will operate where technology, design, and human behaviour meet to deliver tangible outcomes, fast. This is work that leaves a mark, work you'll be proud to tell your friends about.
Qodea is built for what's next. An environment where your skills will evolve at the frontier of innovation and AI, ensuring continuous growth and development.
We look for people who embody:
Innovation to solve the hardest problems.
Accountability for every result.
Integrity always.
About The Role
Your primary focus will be to increase the market penetration of Google Cloud products and services. You will work closely with your colleagues at Qodea and collaborate with Google to nurture existing customers and identify new opportunities within the existing customer base.
This role is designed for impact, and we believe our best work happens when we connect. While we operate a flexible model, we expect you to spend time on site (at our offices or a client location) for collaboration sessions, customer meetings, and internal workshops.
