  • Complete accurate tracking of communication with current and potential customers in our CRM
  • Strategise with Account Executives to target prospect accounts to build pipeline
  • Meet and exceed weekly KPI's and deliver a high quantity of qualified sales opportunities

The skills you'll bring include:

  • 2 years experience in a sales / sales development role with proven capabilities in account development and awareness of the buyer journey, sales process, and the stakeholders involved
  • Passionate about delighting customers with exceptional relationship building skills
  • Excited by technology, curious and eager to learn more about IT Security products and services
  • An effective listener, with excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • A high level of resilience, with the ability to bounce back after setbacks or rejection - it's a key part of the job which makes it such an exciting challenge
  • Tenacious and driven, with a competitive personality, thrives in a fast paced and target driven environment
  • Creative, able to think independently and come up with new solutions
  • Ambitious, dedicated to continuous learning and personal development. Receptive to feedback and willingness to adapt
  • Highly organised with strong attention to detail in all areas of work
  • A team player who collaborates effectively as part of a high performing team, helping teammates and celebrating team success

We know that the best ideas and solutions come from multi-dimensional teams. That's because these teams reflect a variety of backgrounds and professional experiences. If you are excited about this role and feel your experience can make an impact, please don't be shy - apply today.
