  • You forge relationships with a predefined list of target prospects, as well as those you have identified yourself, utilising your existing network of senior level contacts to build out a strong pipeline of short, medium and long-term opportunities.
  • You track and maintain leads in our Salesforce CRM and emphasize the permanent optimisation of the sales process.
  • You are prepared to report activity and success to the New Business Lead, Brand and other senior stakeholders through a proactive and informed approach.
  • Available for regular travel (COVID-19 permitting), primarily in the UK and Europe


WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM US
