About You
Current or prior sales development experience
You have a relentless drive and work ethic. Every minute of the day is an opportunity and you seek to make the most of every chance you get.
You’re a natural leader. Whether in sport or at school, you’ve taken on leadership roles naturally.
Do you make connections easily? Effortless networking is important
You’re a team player who likes to win as a team. Lone wolves need not apply
You’re an overachiever. We’re going to want to know your quota attainment numbers as we believe that past success is a strong indicator of future success. You are a demand generating specialist.
You live by a set of values that align with our own (make sure you look them up). We’re a values based organisation and we firmly believe that exceptionally successful sales professionals can also be great humans.
A knowledge of cloud technology and its impact on enterprise sized organisations and their operations is hugely beneficial
Our Approach to Flexible Work
With Flex Work, we’re combining the best of both worlds: in-person time and remote. Our approach enables our teams to deepen connections, maintain a strong community, and do their best work. We know that flexibility can take shape in many ways, so rather than a number of required days in-office each week, we simply spend at least half (50%) of our time each quarter in the office or in the field with our customers, prospects, and partners (depending on role). This means you'll have the freedom to create a flexible schedule that caters to your business, team, and personal needs, while being intentional to make the most of time spent together. Those in our remote "home office" roles also have the opportunity to come together in our offices for important moments that matter.
