• Collaborating with Marketing on events, webinars and creative campaigns to generate new opportunities
• Handing over won business cleanly to the Account Development team, setting new clients up for long-term success

What We're Looking For

• A strong track record in new business / hunter sales roles - ideally 10+ years, though we'll consider 7+ years for the right person
