South Africa Permanent ZAR600000.00 - ZAR960000.00 per annum

Head of Compute – Cloud & Infrastructure Innovation

Step into a role where you can shape the future of cloud and compute solutions for a business that thrives on innovation, autonomy, and collaboration.

This full-time leadership position offers the chance to drive the strategy and growth of a comprehensive Compute product suite- covering Private and Public Cloud, Data Management, Managed Services, and Colocation. You’ll sit at the intersection of tech, product, and commercial performance, reporting directly to the CTO.

Why this role?
This is more than product ownership. It’s your opportunity to build and evolve a high-impact business unit from the ground up – crafting strategy, shaping go-to-market plans, driving revenue, and becoming the go-to ambassador for all things Compute. You’ll work across departments, from sales to engineering, marketing to operations, ensuring your portfolio delivers value to clients and the business.

Your world will involve:

  • Driving the product roadmap and strategy across cloud and infrastructure domains

  • Managing pricing, profitability, and billing assurance

  • Leading go-to-market plans and enabling sales through training and support

  • Building strong partnerships with vendors, clients, and internal teams

  • Overseeing certifications, audits, and readiness plans

  • Acting as the SME across the Compute stack

What we’re looking for:

  • 10 years in technical or infrastructure leadership roles

  • Deep knowledge across Private/Public Cloud, Data Management, Colocation, and Managed Services

  • Experience in product strategy, pricing models, and partner/vendor management

  • Strong cross-functional communication and leadership skills

  • Someone who thrives in a fast-moving environment and enjoys the balance between strategy and execution

This is your chance to take ownership of a core business unit in a high-trust, high-impact environment.

If you’re looking for a leadership role where you can stretch your strategic muscles and still stay close to the tech- this might just be it.
