The successful candidate will ideally have:

• Proven ability of working within a territory/field based sales role.
• Built strong relationships with multiple customer and internal stakeholders
• Proven experience in identifying new sale opportunities and the ability to create solutions for customers, to deliver long term profitable sales growth for both parties
