• Experience working towards sales goals and targets, from prospecting through to closing
• Exceptional communication and presentation skills, with the ability to articulate complex information effectively
• Experience using CRM software for sales activities (i.e. logging activity, managing pipeline)

Benefits:

We offer a competitive salary and bonus scheme, including health insurance, and pension. Our people are important to us, and we understand that each person has a life outside of work and we therefore offer flexible working arrangements (Hybrid) aiming to suit your needs.
