Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa Dimension Data Full time

Job Description.

The person needs to have the interpersonal skills and professional excellence required to delight clients.

Other vital skills for this role include a high degree of self-motivation, being a team player, and have a passion to keep learning.

Importantly, taking a cloud value proposition to market is primarily focused on driving business outcomes for clients by leveraging the cloud platform.

The Senior Cloud Sales Specialist will work closely with strong team of Cloud Solutions Architectures to work out the best solution and approach for each client need.

A typical cloud engagement will ideally help our clients to map out a detailed Cloud Journey and ensure that Dimension Data is best positioned to take them on that journey.
