• Resilience & Drive: A track record of meeting or exceeding ambitious sales targets.
• Consultative Approach: Strong ability to understand client pain points and craft solutions that align with their goals.
• Passion for Tech for Good: A commitment to supporting initiatives that make a real difference in people’s lives.
• Language Skills: Fluency in French or German is preferred.

• Remote-first culture with access to our London office.
• Be part of a mission-driven team transforming lives with cutting-edge technology.
