• Proven track record of creating pipeline and closing complex deals, directly or through alliance partners, with strong commercial acumen
• Ability to influence and motivate external teams, from field sellers to senior executives, with excellent written, verbal and presentation skills.

What You’ll Get

• 25 paid vacation days, plus 4 extra global VeeaMe Days for self-care and 24 paid volunteer hours annually through Veeam Cares
