Shape the Future of Digital Infrastructure

We’re looking for a Strategic Account Manager – Data Centres to lead growth across hyperscale, colocation, and enterprise customers in the Pacific.

This is not a traditional sales role. It’s a front-line strategic leadership position at the intersection of infrastructure, technology, and sustainability—where you will influence how next-generation data centres are designed, built, and operated.

You’ll own and develop a portfolio of high-value, complex accounts and play a key role in positioning us as a trusted partner in mission-critical environments—from early concept through to delivery and lifecycle optimisation.

  • Develop and execute multi-year account strategies that drive share-of-wallet and long-term value

Influence Where It Matters Most

  • Shape early-stage customer decisions across cooling, controls, and sustainability

  • Engage at executive and technical levels as a trusted advisor, not just a vendor

  • Lead end-to-end deal strategy—from early positioning to contract award

  • Craft winning commercial and technical propositions in long-cycle environments

Drive Integrated Solutions

  • Bring together Thermal Solutions, HVAC, BMS/controls, security, and digital solutions into a cohesive value proposition

  • Position outcomes—resilience, efficiency, uptime, and total cost of ownership

Align and Orchestrate

  • Connect regional teams with global account strategies

  • Align sales, engineering, and delivery to ensure successful execution and customer outcomes

Stay Ahead of the Market

  • Engage customers on emerging trends—AI workloads, high-density cooling, and decarbonisation

  • Lead conversations on sustainability, digitalisation, and innovative commercial models

What You Bring

  • Degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Controls, or related Engineering discipline

  • 10+ years in technical or solution sales (BMS, controls, automation, HVAC, or integrated systems)

  • Strong understanding of data centre environments—cooling, controls, resilience, and operations

  • Proven track record managing complex, high-value accounts within matrix organisations

  • Experience navigating long sales cycles and structured pipeline management (Salesforce preferred)

  • Commercially astute, self-driven, and comfortable operating at executive level

Why This Role

  • Work on some of the most critical infrastructure projects in the region
