We are looking for a commercially driven and outward-facing WAN & Connectivity Sales Specialist to join our growing sales team. This is a high-impact role focused on generating new connectivity revenue, hunting proactively within our existing client base, and fundamentally changing the way our Account Managers think about and sell managed services.
You will be the internal champion for Conscia's connectivity and managed WAN proposition — inspiring confidence in the sales team, owning structured campaigns and sales plays, and engaging directly with customers to uncover opportunity, displace competitors, and position Conscia as the partner of choice for end-to-end network and connectivity solutions.
This is not a back-office quoting role. You will spend the majority of your time in front of customers, running discovery workshops, developing competitive displacement strategies, and working shoulder-to-shoulder with Account Managers to grow our connectivity and managed WAN footprint. You will bring energy, market knowledge, and a genuine passion for connectivity and SD-WAN to every engagement.
