Your primary measures are GP and EBITDA however in reality, your job is measured through customer satisfaction and employee satisfaction. A motivated and passionate employee base that delights our customers with world-class technology services & software licensing solutions means everything else becomes secondary. Obviously, you have to build a profitable business, but unhappy customers and employees are not the right foundation for long-term success. Get this right, and then you can call yourself a rock star. Here’s the detail:

• Develop, execute and own the sales, services and delivery strategy for the DACH region (almost 2000 employees) .
• Working with the Global Service Leaders (Cloud Services (CS) Azure, CS AWS, CS GCP, Digital Workplace, Application Services, SAP, IT Asset Management and Digital Supply Chain Management) to execute and  transform within the market.
• Personally contribute $/€ GP through nurturing and developing large / key customers and enabling the business to capture market share.

We want you to be known as a leader with an exceptional track record of driving profitable customer growth and building strong teams across multiple regions. You are recognized as a highly effective manager and can demonstrate success in balancing sales motion with technology services delivery.  As an inspirational leader, you have not just hired and retained great people; you have actually coached and built superstars in your teams, constantly improving competence, capability and challenge personal growth. You know what it means to accompany an organization through a transformation and to take people on board during this change process.

You are the benchmark for the seven core values of SoftwareONE and on this you lead by example. You are super passionate and knowledgeable about IT solutions in the Advisory Services and Software Licensing space. You love being in front of customers but are capable of building (and have built) a business with strong GP & EBITDA growth.

What’s really important is that your customers, colleagues and teams speak highly of you and respect you – but not just about how professional you are – they talk about how you’ve constantly gone above and beyond, and about the positive impact you’ve had on them.

You are on an upward curve in your career but are thirsty to be challenged further. You have worked in big and small companies who are stars in the technology services market, but you have always delivered your best work in an entrepreneurial, growth environment.
