• People who take pride in building relationships, managing accounts, and growing revenue over time

Qualifications

• 1+ years of customer-facing, sales, or service experience preferred
• Bachelor’s degree a plus (or equivalent experience)
• CRM experience (Salesforce, ZoomInfo, or similar) a plus
