This role will be based in Melbourne or Sydney, with an expectation that you’ll work from the office at least two days each week.
You’ll also have a structured onboarding program, supported by our Sales Enablement team, to help you understand our products, customers and sales approach.

- Customer-focused, with strong discovery and qualification skills.
- Consistent in driving opportunities forward and maintaining momentum.
- Resilient, adaptable and comfortable navigating challenges.
