- Maintaining accurate forecasting and pipeline visibility via CRM
- Building and growing relationships with customers to unlock longer-term revenue opportunities
What we’re looking for
- Experience in a sales or business development role, ideally with exposure to closing
- A proactive, self-starting approach you’re comfortable owning a number and delivering against it
- Confidence managing conversations with stakeholders and guiding deals forward
- Strong commercial instinct and a desire to learn how to close effectively
- Resilience, pace and energy; you enjoy working in a target-driven environment
- An interest in international markets and working with diverse customers
