We are hiring ambitious people to join a brand new European sales team in Madrid, working for a global technology business investing significantly in its next stage of growth.

You do not need years of sales experience. We are looking for people with the confidence, curiosity, drive and ambition to learn, alongside the language skills to build relationships across European markets.

You will join at an exciting stage, with the opportunity to make an impact from the beginning, learn from experienced sales professionals and build towards a long term career in sales.

The Opportunity

• Understand business challenges and introduce technology solutions
• Book qualified meetings and create new sales opportunities
• Work alongside Account Executives, Marketing and technical specialists
• Build your confidence, commercial awareness and sales skills

This is not about reading from a script all day.

You will be encouraged to think, learn, test ideas and develop your own approach, while receiving the coaching and support to become great at sales.

Who Are We Looking For?

No perfect CV required. Bring the languages, ambition, curiosity and willingness to learn.
