• Build a credible and quality pipeline of opportunity to be able to achieve revenue goals; actively forecasting this with good hygiene skills within HubSpot & Asana
• Work closely with partners to fulfil and enable deals
• Be a key part of a competitive, proactive sales function who values each person in the team

Requirements

• Proven, previous successful experience within inside sales, Sales Development or Business Development

• Good collaboration skills and feedback loops to be able to build strong relationships with Product, Marketing and Engineering
• Experience of working with the channel; using partners (tech alliances, GSIs, resellers, etc.) to find and progress opportunities
• Must have the challenger sales mentality, the ability to really want to understand customer challenges and how we can add value to their goals with our product by asking the right qualifying questions
• Good knowledge of our ecosystem which could include the Cloud Native landscape, Continuous Integration, Continuous Delivery, Kubernetes, Open-Source technology or Enterprise Software

High Level Requirements

1. Proven successful, experience in Enterprise Tech Sales as an SDR or Inside Sales - ideally relatable to what we do
