• Provide market feedback and insights to leadership, product, and marketing teams. 
• Identify client/prospect needs and opportunities that can inform our product development roadmap.
• Operate with a strong growth mindset and consistently demonstrate a strong work ethic to prospects, clients, partners, and colleagues.

• Knowledge and understanding of the SaaS software market, preferably in the nonprofit or public sector.
• A high degree of comfort in business meetings, with excellent presentation and communication skills and a strong ability to demo purpose-built software that highlights key features and capabilities most relevant to clients.
• Experience selling technology services or custom software solutions is a must.
• Highly motivated to thrive and work independently for a fast-growing company where all team members work remotely. 
• Be willing to do what needs to be done to grow a business that is committed to social impact with high standards of ethics and professionalism.
