  • Market insight: Stay updated on industry trends, competitor movements, and product developments to enhance sales effectiveness.
  • Collaboration: Work closely with the SDR and marketing teams to ensure the effective execution of sales strategies and ensure compliance with industry standards and policies.


What We’re Looking For:

  • Proven success in sales roles such as Business Development Manager, Account Executive, or Sales Development Representative.
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with a talent for building and nurturing relationships.
  • A desire to grow within a sales-driven role, especially in the SaaS sector.
  • A track record of consistently hitting or surpassing sales targets.
  • A proactive, positive attitude with a “can-do” approach to solving challenges.
  • Experience managing the full sales cycle, including working with MQLs and SQLs.


Why Bud?

  • Be part of a dynamic, fast-paced environment where learning and growth are constants.
  • Join a team that’s helping to reshape the educational landscape.
  • Enjoy a role where your contributions directly impact the success and growth of the company.
