About Virtuozzo
Virtuozzo is a leader in infrastructure system software for AI. We offer an optimized operating system, orchestration, and management to service providers, SaaS companies, and the enterprise. Virtuozzo provides mainframe-like performance, reliability, and security while dramatically lowering overall cost and complexity. We combine deep engineering expertise with a relentless focus on performance, scalability, and innovation.
The Mandate
Virtuozzo is appointing an experienced Territory Manager to lead channel-driven growth across the United Kingdom, Ireland and the Nordics.
Reporting to the Vice President of Sales, you will take commercial ownership of a strategically important territory and establish Virtuozzo as a recognised infrastructure platform within the regional MSP, CSP, hosting and service-provider ecosystem.
This is a senior individual-contributor role. It combines territory strategy, partner development, new-logo acquisition and direct executive engagement. You will not inherit a mature, self-generating region: you will be expected to identify where the opportunities are, build the right partner relationships and personally create the commercial momentum required to convert them.
Virtuozzo follows a partner-first sales model. You will therefore generate and nurture demand while ensuring opportunities are transacted and supported through the appropriate distributor, reseller or service-provider partner.
Your Responsibilities
Territory leadership and revenue growth
- Own the regional go-to-market strategy for the UK, Ireland and the Nordics.
- Build a detailed territory plan covering target accounts, priority markets, partner coverage and revenue opportunities.
- Develop a predictable pipeline of new service-provider business.
- Lead opportunities from prospect identification through technical validation, commercial negotiation and partner-led closure.
- Deliver quarterly and annual revenue, pipeline and new-logo objectives.
- Provide accurate forecasting and clear visibility of deal progress, risks and next steps.

Executive prospect engagement

- Understand each prospect’s commercial model, technical environment, competitive position and growth priorities.
- Lead conversations covering platform economics, infrastructure efficiency, margins, scalability, ROI and total cost of ownership.

The Experience You Bring

- Strong relationships or market knowledge within the UK MSP, CSP, hosting or service-provider ecosystem.
- Experience working with distributors, resellers, systems integrators or other indirect-sales partners.
- The ability to build a territory rather than simply maintain an established book of business.
- Credibility discussing infrastructure platforms with technically sophisticated founders and executives.
- Understanding of service-provider economics, recurring-revenue models, infrastructure costs and platform margins.
- Strong commercial negotiation, forecasting and opportunity-management capabilities.
- Excellent executive communication and presentation skills.

The Profile That Will Succeed
You are a commercially driven territory builder who combines the instincts of a hunter with the patience of a strategic relationship manager. You are comfortable creating opportunities independently, but you understand that successful channel selling requires trust, consistency and respect for partner ownership. You can move naturally between a commercial discussion with a business owner and a technically credible conversation with a CTO. Most importantly, you take personal responsibility for results. You do not wait for partners, marketing or technical teams to create momentum for you—you bring the right people together and keep the opportunity moving.

- A collaborative environment where your ideas are valued and shipped
- Other perks and engagement opportunities
- Share options
- Referral bonuses
