- Managing the full sales cycle, from first conversation through to closing the deal.

- Keeping your activity and pipeline up to date in Salesforce.

- Sharing insights from customer conversations to help spot trends, opportunities and competitor activity.

- Working with internal teams to make sure new members get off to a smooth start.

It’s not about ticking every box. It’s about turning up curious, ready to crack on. You’ll do well here if you bring:

- Experience in inbound sales, direct sales or account management.

- A track record of consistently hitting sales targets.

- Resilience and determination in a fast-moving sales environment.

- Confidence in handling objections and moving deals forward.

- Strong written and verbal communication that builds trust quickly.

- A proactive, curious mindset and interest in how markets move.

- Experience using Salesforce or a similar CRM tool.
