I had a note in from Ben of wireless sales recruitment secialist, Iconic Resources.
He’s on the hunt for a EMEA Sales Director with a messaging bent. It’s a megabucks role so I said I’d post it — if you know anyone who’s looking for a bit of a change, or if you think this is you, drop Ben a call on +44 20 7987 9357 or knock him over a mail at the address benh [ at ] iconicresources.com. And if you end up as Sales Director, I’ll carry your briefcase, right?
If you reckon the role is half-you, or if you’d like more clarification, give him a call and pick his brains, I spoke to him on the phone this evening and he’s a really friendly chap.
Anyway, here’s the spec:
