What You’ll Do:

The Southern Europe Sales organization is responsible for establishing CoreWeave as the preferred AI cloud platform for enterprises, AI labs, digital-native companies, and emerging AI builders across France, Italy, Iberia, and the wider Mediterranean region. The team creates new markets, develops strategic customer relationships, and helps customers use CoreWeave’s infrastructure and software platform to build, deploy, and scale the next generation of AI.

About the role: The Senior Director of Sales, Southern Europe reports to the VP and Managing Director of EMEA. As the senior sales leader for the region, you will own CoreWeave’s commercial strategy and execution across all customer segments, with responsibility for both new-logo acquisition and the growth of existing customers. You will inherit an established customer base and a team spanning Account Executives, Account Managers, and Account Solutions Architects, while carrying a significant mandate to design and build the broader regional coverage model. This is a hands-on, first-on-the-ground leadership role for someone who can build the business, recruit and develop exceptional talent, and support market growth in coordination with EMEA leadership, and personally lead the region’s most strategic customer opportunities.

• Own the Southern Europe business, including regional strategy, revenue performance, consumption growth, pipeline creation, customer acquisition, retention, and expansion.

• Build and scale the regional sales organization, recruiting, developing, and retaining high-performing leaders and individual contributors as the business grows.
• Lead, coach, and develop Account Executives and Account Managers, establishing clear expectations, strong inspection disciplines, and a culture of accountability and continuous improvement.
• Partner closely with Account Solutions Architects to connect customer business objectives with CoreWeave’s infrastructure, platform, and developer capabilities.
• Personally develop relationships with senior executives, founders, technical leaders, and strategic stakeholders across the region.
• Lead from the front on the region’s most strategic opportunities, remaining actively involved from initial engagement through solution development, commercial negotiation, and closure, with final contracting execution by EMEA/HQ.
• Own the acquisition of new strategic customers while developing account strategies that increase adoption, consumption, retention, and long-term customer value across the existing customer base.
• Build a high-quality, appropriately covered pipeline and establish a consistent operating cadence for opportunity inspection, account planning, forecasting, risk management, and corrective action.
• Deliver accurate and transparent forecasts, with clear visibility into customer demand, consumption, commercial risk, capacity requirements, and execution dependencies.
• Develop and close, subject to HQ review and execution, complex, high-value, multi-year commercial agreements, including strategic capacity commitments and enterprise-wide platform relationships.
• Drive adoption of CoreWeave’s broader platform and software capabilities, ensuring customers see CoreWeave as a strategic technology partner rather than solely an infrastructure provider.
• Partner across Field Engineering, Marketing, Customer Success, Capacity, Product, Finance, Legal, Revenue Operations, and executive leadership to deliver coordinated customer outcomes.
• Support CoreWeave’s partner, venture capital, startup ecosystem, sovereign AI, and government-relations strategies across the region.
• Represent regional customer requirements and market dynamics within CoreWeave, ensuring that global product, capacity, investment, and go-to-market decisions reflect the opportunities and needs of Southern Europe.
