Regional Sales Consultant / Business Developer - Remote (Permanent)

Job Title: Regional Sales Consultant

Location: Remote Working

Salary: £30,000 - £45,000 per annum, OTE £70,000 - £90,000

Job Type: Permanent, Full Time

Who are we?

Born in the Cloud and raised in Manchester since 2010, Shaping Cloud is a cloud-first, digital transformation partner for Public Sector and Enterprise clients across the UK. We started with a dev squad cutting code and providing web-enabled applications and other bleeding edge stuff. Partnering with Microsoft early on in their Azure development, we were one of the first Microsoft Gold Cloud Partners - and we still are today.

Why are we different?

Yeah, we know. There are lots of consultancies out there. There's also plenty more Microsoft partners to choose from. However, we know that we're different (in a good way) we don't stick to the consultancy "norm" - we're techies at heart that want to inspire change.

Our delivery teams aren't accompanied by a contracts lawyer either, looking for CCNs. Our graduates aren't pushed onto a client with zero experience and instructed to take a cookie cutter approach. Our consultants come from an operational background with real-world experience at the highest level, in both public sector and global enterprise, allowing them to empathise with those at the sharp end today - and not just at CxO level, on a technical level too.

Ultimately, we're aiming to be the technology partner we didn't have when we were client side. A proper partner that understands the whole organisation and starts by listening. Pretty radical.

That's all very nice, but what's in it for me?

Good question - Why choose Shaping Cloud? Because providing market leading salaries and a workplace pension isn't enough these days (although we do, don't worry). We also recognise that our people are the heartbeat of our business, our people make us successful, and so it's our aim to keep them happy and feeling valued, which is why we offer benefits that matter such as:

• Fully remote home-based contract as work/life balance is essential
  • We ask that travel to Manchester isn't too laborious (you need to get here for the socials)
  • We have a hub in Manchester for locals to gather if you prefer an office environment
  • We also have hubs in Reading and London for catchups and brainstorming
• Flexible working day. We prefer to be logical, and outcome driven rather than clock watchers.
• Monthly socials
• Regular care packages delivered to your home
• Access to learning portals for MSFT certifications, and we pay for the exams. We also allow up to 5' study days' so you can focus on passing
• Up to 5 extra days a year leave, 1 day per year added after 2 years' service
• 2 days extra annual leave for charity work
