• Take ownership of customer projects through to successful completion

Key Requirements

• Strong hands-on experience deploying and implementing enterprise backup and data protection solutions

• Experience with technologies such as Commvault, NetBackup, Veeam, Rubrik, Druva or Zerto

• Previous Professional Services or customer-facing technical delivery experience

• Experience delivering solutions from design through to implementation

• Comfortable independently owning technical deployments and customer projects

Benefits include investment in training and development, 25 days' holiday plus an additional day for your birthday, early Friday finishes in July, enhanced maternity and paternity policies, holiday carry-over options and health insurance.
