Since 2008, we’ve grown from humble beginnings into the global leader in GPS performance tracking and analysis, trusted by the world’s biggest clubs, leagues, and athletes. Our technology sits at the intersection of hardware, software, and sport, helping teams optimise performance, reduce injury risk, and unlock previously impossible insights.

• Collaborate with sales, marketing, and customer operations teams to help develop and execute the Athlete Series sales drive.

• Build and nurture long-term relationships with key decision-makers across sports teams and organisations.

• At least 1 year of experience in a target-driven direct selling environment, with a proven track record of sales success.

• Hands-on experience dealing with clients directly.

• A full, clean UK/ROI driver’s licence.

• Fluency in additional languages.

• A key sales role expanding global access to world-leading sports performance technology

• High visibility and direct influence on the expansion of our Athlete Series product line

• Exposure to cross-functional teams spanning marketing, sales, and customer operations
