• Working towards your KPI's through developing market understanding, building relationships and networking
• Providing effective account management to support your customers technology strategy, implementation, and future requirements
• Collaborating with your sales team, cross-functional teams, and external partners to help develop a rich customer experience

We'd love you to have:

• Have a passion for sales and be keen to learn and develop your skill set
• Demonstrate a keen entrepreneurial flare and the desire to build your own client base from scratch
• Be a motivated self-starter, a quick learner and be highly organised
• Show an enthusiasm to learn and develop your knowledge for new and emerging technologies
• Have a high level of verbal and written communication skills
• Have the ability to build solid relationships internally and with potential new clients

We also acknowledge that the confidence gap and imposter syndrome are a real thing and can get in the way of us meeting fantastic talent, so please don't hesitate to apply – we would love to hear from you!

• Flexible working - flexibility of working from home and in the office. Please note, 3 days working in the office and 2 days working from home, there is a requirement to be in each Wednesday for vendor and inter-office team meetings
• Working flexible hours - flexing the times you start and finish during the day  
• Flexibility around school pick up and drop offs 

Working with us

Wherever you work, we want you to experience the freedom and autonomy to realise your potential. You will feel supported by a team that celebrates individuality, encourages different perspectives, and embraces every background.

Join us
