  • Build strong relationships with key stakeholders and decision-makers
  • Collaborate with SDRs, marketing, and product teams
  • Consistently meet and exceed revenue targets
  • Provide feedback to shape product and go-to-market strategy

What We’re Looking For

  • 1–4 years’ experience in a closing or AE role within SaaS or tech
  • Proven track record of hitting or exceeding sales targets
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-growth environment
  • Proactive, resilient, and commercially driven
  • Interest in AI, data, or emerging technologies
