Senior Technical Commercial Manager

About Soverin
At Soverin, we are on a mission to return control of data to people and organizations. For over a decade, we’ve offered a premium, privacy-first email service rooted in European values: independence, transparency, and digital sovereignty. As we enter our next phase of growth, we are looking for a senior commercial leader to expand our presence in the market and build meaningful relationships with partners and customers who share our mission.

The Role
As Senior Technical Commercial Manager, you are Soverin’s first dedicated sales leader. You will drive new business across Europe with hosters, MSPs, ISPs, resellers, and SMEs, while also building strategic partnerships that accelerate our growth.

You bring a strong network, a proven sales playbook, and the confidence to be hands‑on: picking up the phone, meeting prospects, and closing deals. At the same time, you think ahead, structuring the way we approach sales and preparing the ground for scaling a team around you.

Reporting directly to the CEO, you’ll have a big say in shaping Soverin’s commercial strategy and how we are positioned as the European alternative to Big Tech and self‑hosting.

Take ownership of renewals and expansions with early customers.

Build a repeatable sales playbook and pipeline reporting structure.

Market Presence & Brand Building

Represent Soverin at events, conferences, and in direct client meetings.

Position Soverin as the trusted European alternative—privacy‑first, compliant, and independent.

Contribute to Soverin’s visibility via talks, panels, and thought‑leadership pieces.

Partnership & Channels

Expand reseller and partner networks across Europe.

Co‑create go‑to‑market models and campaigns with partners.
