  • Meet individual and team sales and performance KPIs

  • Continue to upskill and develop capability and knowledge across Telstra’s portfolio of products and business solutions

  • Identify areas of improvement and actively embrace change and technology to better support our business customers

This is a permanent full-time position and will be on-site based in Level 1, 75 Denham Street, Townsville, Queensland.
