About

The Role

We are hiring a Head of Sales for the Middle East & Africa (MEA) region to own revenue generation across this emerging and high-potential market. This is not a corporate sales management role — this is a hands-on, deal-closing, pipeline-building role for someone who is deeply technical and genuinely passionate about the datacenter industry.

You are a tech nerd who understands the industry. You know what colocation means. You understand why interconnection hubs in Dubai, Nairobi, and Johannesburg matter for the region. You can have a technical conversation about DC power and cooling with an operations team and then negotiate a multi-year colocation deal with a C-suite buyer. You are not reading a sales playbook — you are the playbook for MEA.

The MEA datacenter market is one of the fastest-growing in the world, driven by digital transformation, cloud adoption, and increasing demand for local data sovereignty. We have facilities across the region and need someone who can convert that presence into revenue.

What You'll Do

• Own the MEA sales pipeline end-to-end: prospect, qualify, propose, negotiate, close
• Build and execute a regional go-to-market strategy for colocation, smart hands, remote hands, and IP transit
• Develop relationships with enterprise clients, carriers, government entities, and MSPs across MEA
• Represent Reboot Monkey at industry events:
  AfPIF, MENOG, Datacloud Africa, capacity conferences
• Navigate diverse MEA markets — business culture in UAE differs from Kenya, differs from South Africa
• Collaborate with SDRs on outbound targeting and campaign messaging for MEA
• Negotiate contracts and pricing within approved frameworks
• Provide market intelligence: competitive landscape, regulatory changes, emerging opportunities
• Report on pipeline, forecast, and revenue monthly to the CEO

• New MRR: EUR 8,000+ new MRR per quarter within first 6 months
• Pipeline value: 3x of quarterly target always in pipeline
• Win rate: 25%+ on qualified opportunities
• Client meetings: 15+ per month with qualified prospects
• Deal cycle:
  Average close within 60 days of qualified opportunity

• Monthly retainer: EUR 800–1,200 depending on experience
• Commission: 10–15% of new MRR generated (paid monthly, uncapped)
• Arrangement:
  Freelance / Contractor — you invoice us monthly
• Hours:
  
  Full-time, 40 hours/week
• Time tracking:
  Hubstaff is required for all team members — this is how hours are verified for billing
• Performance reviews:
  Every 2 weeks for the first 3 months, then monthly. KPIs are shared upfront — no surprises.
• Payment:
  Monthly, on the 5th of each month for the previous month

• Application review — We review every application within 1–2 business days
• Initial video call with Michel (CEO) — 30 minutes. We want to hear about your experience and how you handle real-world scenarios.
• Paid trial task — A go-to-market exercise: you receive a brief on Reboot Monkey's services and 3 target MEA market segments — you must build a 90-day sales plan, identify 10 target accounts,…
