** Hitachi Energy is seeking a dynamic and commercially driven UK Sales Manager, Data Centers, to lead growth within one of the fastest-evolving sectors in the energy and infrastructure market.

As Hitachi Energy continues to expand across the UK, the Data Center sector is a key strategic growth area. In this role, you will lead the development and execution of the UK sales strategy for Data Center customers, building strong relationships with hyperscale operators, colocation providers, consultants, EPC contractors, and key industry stakeholders.

This is a high-profile sales leadership role with significant ownership and accountability. You will be responsible for driving business growth in the UK market by identifying new opportunities, developing strategic customer partnerships, and expanding Hitachi Energy’s presence in the critical power and data center infrastructure landscape.

Working closely with the regional account managers, UK sales teams, local business units, tendering, engineering, and project delivery functions, you will ensure a coordinated and customer-focused approach across the entire sales lifecycle — from early engagement and specification through to negotiation, contract award, and long-term account development.

You will take ownership of developing and executing a robust sales pipeline, ensuring strong opportunity management, accurate forecasting, and disciplined sales governance through regular pipeline and sales process reviews. This role requires a commercially focused sales leader who thrives in a target-driven environment and is motivated to deliver profitable growth and exceed customer expectations.

Success in the role will come through your ability to build executive-level relationships, identify strategic growth opportunities, influence customer decisions, and position Hitachi Energy as a trusted partner for sustainable, resilient, and future-ready energy solutions within the UK data center market.

The position is based in the UK, with flexibility to work from the Hitachi Energy Birmingham office or another UK location, depending on the successful candidate’s location, alongside regular travel to customer sites across the UK.
