This executive role is being newly created to support the continued growth and transformation of our EMEA South business. Reporting into the EMEA COO organization, the EMEA South COO will serve as the primary deputy to the SVP of EMEA South — present in the field, engaged with customers, and accountable for business outcomes across a diverse, multicultural region (France, Italy, Spain, Israel, UAE, Saudi Arabia, South Africa).
The role sits at the heart of the EMEA South leadership team, working in close partnership with Core Sales, Solution Consulting, Solution Sales, Marketing, Customer Excellence Group, GPC, other key GTM functions and more importantly with the Chief of Staff and the Strategic Pursuit Lead. Where the Chief of Staff ensures the operational engine of the region runs effectively and GTM programs land with discipline, and the Strategic Pursuit Lead coordinates the region’s most complex deals, the COO’s focus is squarely on customer impact, field leadership, and revenue performance.
The right person gets their energy from winning — from building relationships at the C-suite, from helping teams close transformational deals, and from raising the bar on what the region can achieve.
