Global Named Account Director

at  Stelia Aerospace North America Inc

THE BUSINESS

Stelia is the new internet. Stelia is revolutionizing AI through its innovative HyperBand platform, which is the cornerstone of future data mobility. As businesses increasingly turn to AI for growth and innovation, they face significant challenges managing vast amounts of data across diverse computing and storage systems. Traditional solutions are unable to keep pace, leaving businesses unable to fully harness the power of AI.
We are a diverse organisation which attracts outstanding talent from across all industry backgrounds. We are focused on teamwork and our people collaborate on all aspects of the business, working openly and with respect for each other, our clients and the market. Our culture is non-hierarchical and one where everyone is valued. We strive for excellence in everything we do.
We rely on bright, inquiring minds to keep us at the forefront of our industry. We have a flat structure, and all ideas are evaluated and, if workable, are prioritised and supported for implementation. Anyone can question or opine on new ideas with the CEO’s, or anyone else within the team. Every day there is something new happening and a fresh challenge to overcome. We reward creativity, we strive for a culture of collaborative energy and understand the importance of downtime. We have a great working environment with awesome facilities. It’s cutting-edge work in a fast-paced world and it can be challenging, but if you’re capable and motivated, then we would love to hear from you.
