Axis is strengthening its focus on the Multi‑Tenant Data Centre (MTDC) segment – one of the fastest‑growing and most strategic parts of the global data centre industry. To support this ambition, we are now looking for a Key Account Manager, End Customers – MTDC, EMEA, to help build, shape and grow our engagement with selected strategic MTDC operators across the region.
This is a new role, offering the opportunity to build something significant from the ground up, together with a small, experienced and dynamic EMEA end‑customer team.
YOUR ROLE
As Key Account Manager for MTDC end customers, you will take full ownership of a limited portfolio of strategic MTDC accounts across EMEA. You will act as the primary point of contact for these customers and be responsible for the entire lifecycle of the customer relationship – from early engagement and strategic planning to execution, growth and long‑term partnership.
This role requires a rare combination of senior sales expertise, strategic account management capability and strong MTDC market knowledge, together with the ability to influence complex ecosystems without direct authority.

Stakeholder engagement & ecosystem leadership
8. Build deep relationships with key stakeholders at operational, decision‑making and executive level within MTDC organisations
9. Work closely with consultants (mainly A&E, i.e. Architecture and Engineering), system integrators, distributors and partners active in the data centre ecosystem
10. Position Axis as a trusted advisor to the customer, not just a supplier
11. Coordinate internal Axis resources across sales, technical, engineering, marketing and segment teams
12. Collaborate with regional EMEA sales organisations and with US/APAC counterparts on global accounts
Execution & coordination
13. Ensure structured, project‑oriented execution in a highly organised and demanding customer environment

15. Provide regular status updates and strategic reviews to management and internal stakeholders
WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
You are a senior, structured and credible sales professional who thrives in complex, international environments and enjoys building new business areas rather than inheriting mature ones.

17. Minimum 3 years of experience in the MTDC / data centre industry
18. Strong background in strategic account management
19. Experience working with complex partner ecosystems (consultants, integrators, distributors)
20. International business exposure; comfortable operating across cultures and regions
21. IT / data centre / security market knowledge is a strong advantage
Skills & competencies
22. Exceptional commercial and business acumen
23. Strong project and stakeholder leadership skills – able to influence without authority
24. Structured, analytical and disciplined approach to planning and execution
25. Excellent communication skills; able to explain complex topics clearly and concisely
26. Confident engaging with senior decision‑makers and executives
