💫 WHAT MAKES YOU STAND OUT
You love building relationships that last. You’re the type of person who notices when a customer’s activity dips, calls them before they call you, and turns a potential issue into a new opportunity. You thrive in motion — driving between meetings, hopping on calls, and keeping dashboards green.
At Jabu, we move fast, own our outcomes, and believe customer love is built in the field.
