Position Summary

Vertiv is seeking a Technical Sales Manager to support the growth of our Switchgear and Busbar Systems business across the data center market.

In this role, you will act as a trusted technical advisor to both customers and sales teams, helping develop and position integrated electrical power distribution solutions that support mission-critical applications.

• Review customer specifications, RFQs, and tender documentation to identify technical requirements, compliance criteria, and commercial opportunities.
• Develop and deliver compelling technical presentations, solution proposals, and customer workshops.
• Collaborate with engineering, product management, and manufacturing teams to ensure proposed solutions are technically robust, manufacturable, and aligned with Vertiv standards.
• Act as a key interface between the Line of Business and regional sales organizations, ensuring alignment on opportunities, priorities, and market requirements.
• Monitor industry trends, competitive developments, emerging technologies, and evolving customer needs within the electrical infrastructure and critical power markets.
• Maintain accurate opportunity, customer, and project records within CRM systems and support pipeline forecasting activities.

• Minimum 10 years of experience in technical sales, application engineering, sales engineering, or solution consulting within the electrical power distribution industry.
• Proven success supporting complex solution sales involving electrical infrastructure, critical power, or industrial power distribution systems.
• Strong knowledge of medium-voltage and low-voltage electrical distribution systems, including relevant industry standards and regulations.
• Experience working with consultants, contractors, engineering firms, data center operators, or industrial end users.
• Excellent communication, presentation, and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to engage both technical and commercial audiences.
• Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple projects, priorities, and customer engagements simultaneously.
