  • Collaborate closely with internal teams, including Marketing and Customer Success, to ensure a smooth post-sale transition and ongoing client success.
  • Stay ahead of industry trends, new product features, and competitive landscape to identify opportunities for innovation and differentiation
What you’ll need
  • 2–3 years of successful B2B sales experience, including a proven track record of closing deals in SaaS or technology sectors.

  • Excellent communication, presentation, and negotiation skills.
  • Strong organizational and problem-solving skills, with a customer-centric mindset.
