Regional Commercial Leader – AI & Edge Computing
Location: Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
Scope: Saudi Arabia & Wider Middle East
Sector: AI Infrastructure | Edge Computing | Cloud | Data
Level: Senior Commercial Leadership
Help shape the next phase of a high-growth AI technology business across the region.
A rapidly growing technology business operating at the forefront of AI infrastructure, edge computing and next-generation cloud technologies is looking to appoint a senior commercial leader to help drive its next phase of regional growth.
The business has already secured significant investment, major enterprise customers and strategic technology partnerships, and has established operations across four countries in the region, with further expansion planned.
This is therefore much more than a Saudi sales leadership position.
The initial focus will be on Saudi Arabia, where the successful individual will play a central role in driving revenue and developing strategic relationships. As the business continues to expand, there is the opportunity for this individual to take broader regional commercial responsibility across the company's markets.
Why This Opportunity?
The foundations are already in place.
The business has:
The next stage is about scaling the commercial opportunity.
You'll be joining at a point where there is already genuine market traction, rather than being asked to build a business from scratch.
The Opportunity
You will initially take a leading role in the company's Saudi commercial strategy, with the potential to develop into a regional commercial leadership position as the organisation continues to scale.
Your responsibilities will include:
Your Background
You'll ideally bring:
Technology Experience
The technology proposition makes this a particularly exciting opportunity.
Experience across:
AI | Edge Computing | AI Infrastructure | Cloud | Data | HPC | GPU Infrastructure | Data Centres | MLOps | Cybersecurity | Digital Transformation
would all be relevant.
Experience specifically within AI infrastructure, edge computing, GPU/HPC environments or sovereign AI would be particularly attractive.
However, we are more interested in your commercial capability, Saudi network and track record of winning business than simply matching a particular technology keyword.
A career background with a major technology organisation such as Cisco, HPE, Dell, Microsoft, AWS, Oracle, IBM, Google Cloud, NVIDIA or similar, followed by experience within a smaller, high-growth technology business, would be particularly relevant.
The Career Opportunity
This could suit someone who has spent the early part of their career learning how leading global technology companies operate, developed a strong reputation selling into the Saudi market, and subsequently moved into a more entrepreneurial environment.
You may now be ready for the next step.
Rather than moving from Senior Sales Manager to Sales Director, this opportunity provides the potential to move directly into a position with much broader commercial ownership and regional exposure.
You'll have the backing of an already funded and established technology business, an exciting proposition, significant market momentum, an existing customer base and operations across multiple markets, while still having the opportunity to make a highly visible impact.
For the right individual, the longer-term opportunity is to become a key commercial leader for the wider region.
If you're a Saudi technology sales leader with a strong network, a proven track record of winning business and the ambition to step into a broader regional commercial leadership role, we'd be very interested in speaking with you.
