YOU'LL HAVE * Commercial experience: 1-2 years in B2B sales/in a BDR role; you may be stepping up from a BDR/SDR or junior closing role, and you're ready to carry your own number. * Exceptional drive and resilience: You are results-driven, persistent in the face of challenges, and possess a strong self-starter mentality. * Natural relationship-building skills: You build trust and rapport quickly, and you listen more than you speak. * A fast learner who loves feedback: You won’t know everything on day one and that’s fine. What matters is that you pick things up quickly, ask for input early and get visibly better every month. * Curiosity and structure: You ask sharp questions and enjoy problem-solving. You can take a complex problem and break it down into clear, actionable steps. * Top-class communication skills: You are clear, compelling and persuasive, whether writing a follow-up email or presenting to a room of stakeholders. * A mission-driven mindset: You are fundamentally motivated by doing work that delivers tangible, positive real-world impact.
