Company Overview

This is an exciting opportunity to join a market-leading provider of connected cloud and managed IT services. The company delivers scalable, secure, and integrated solutions across connectivity, cyber security, and IT managed services, tailored to meet the needs of complex hybrid environments.

Role Purpose

As Client Director – Managed Services & Infrastructure, you’ll focus on driving strategic, high-value opportunities across existing accounts and new prospects.
