  • You will be able to prioritize your workload and balance it with project work
  • You are passionate about sales, prospecting, target strategies
  • You have the ability to work independently or as part of a team
  • You have the ability to effectively give and receive feedback

What You Will Need

  • 1-2+ years of sales development experience
  • Proven self-starter with a track record of hitting and exceeding goals
  • Stellar communication skills that include verbal communication, written communication, and active listening
  • Prior experience working in a SaaS company, preferably a startup environment

  • Prior experience working with a broad range of key decision-makers from developer to C-suite executives
