About this role

About us

Plenit is a European cloud and IT Operating Platform that helps IT companies (resellers, MSPs, and IT distributors) become fully-fledged cloud providers. Founded in 2020 (originally as Jotelulu), Plenit brings together Sovereign Cloud services (Servers, Remote Desktop, File & Object Storage, Disaster Recovery), IT Management, a software Marketplace, and Go-To-Market enablement tools — all in one platform.

• Stay current on the competitive landscape, cloud/IT channel trends, and Plenit's evolving product roadmap
