• Delivering engaging product demonstrations (both virtual and face-to-face)
• Building strong relationships and acting as a trusted advisor to clients
• Achieving and exceeding monthly revenue targets
• Developing deep knowledge of client needs and the political landscape

This is a client-facing role, ideal for someone who enjoys meeting prospects and presenting solutions in person.

What We’re Looking For

• Minimum 3+ years’ experience in B2B sales with a strong track record of overachievement
• Proven experience selling SaaS, subscriptions, or business intelligence solutions (essential)
• Confident in both phone-based sales and face-to-face presentations
• Strong commercial acumen and consultative selling skills
• Self-starter mindset with ambition and drive
• Interest in politics, public affairs, or current affairs (a related degree is advantageous but not essential)
