Commercial Team Lead

QuantWare is looking for a Commercial Team Lead. With the experience and talent that you bring, you maximise the effectiveness of our commercial team, our marketing, sales and customer success, and the commercial performance of our organisation as a whole. You will be a leader and mentor to a highly motivated group of people, with the goal to professionalise our organisation. You will bring more commercial experience to our team and think at both a tactical and a strategic level. Your job will be very hands-on: you will be responsible for achieving our goals with a small team. You will need to manage the team, think of the right actions to take, and drive execution. This is an exceptionally important role within QuantWare that offers a unique opportunity to make an impact in an industry that will have a massive impact, yet is still in its early days.

What you will be doing:

• Helping to drive the execution of our commercial strategy and the growth of our commercial organisation, identifying business opportunities and strategise the market entry of our quantum computing products;

• Set up our sales processes and continuously improve them;

• Set up our marketing organisation and execute our marketing strategy;

• Manage, mentor and train a group of highly motivated people in the commercial team;

• Travel to conferences and clients, and coordinate commercial events;

• An existing network in quantum computing is a very strong plus

To thrive as a commercial team lead, you need to be sociable, be able to deal with pressure, and have excellent written and verbal communication skills. You like closing deals and stepping out of your comfort zone, yet are able to recognize when it is important to focus and let others in your team close deals.
