• You’ll be the type of person who thrives in an early-stage environment where everybody is learning and the processes are iterative.

• You have proven sales experience in an early-stage B2B SAAS startup, including meeting or exceeding targets.

• You have previous experience as a sales executive, sales manager or sales and marketing director, with demonstrable experience developing client-focused, differentiated and achievable solutions.

• You have strong experience in the world of startup/scaleup environments and you will be used to the fast-paced nature of it.

• You have experience working for a newly created sales team and the trepidations that come with it
