• Ability to manage a structured sales process using CRM systems.
• Professional, credible, and articulate when dealing with C-level and senior stakeholders.
• Proactive, self-motivated, and driven to take ownership of results.

• Confident communicator, comfortable speaking with senior-level decision-makers.
• Commercially minded, ambitious, and results-focused and enjoys autonomy.
• Highly organised with strong time management skills.
• Fast learner who takes initiative and implements quickly.
• Team player with a competitive edge.
