• Navigate ambiguity and shifting priorities to unlock value for both the Restaurant Partner and the company.
• Manage your sales pipeline with urgency and discipline, balancing quick wins with long-term trust-building
• Collaborate across Sales Operations teams to resolve blockers, and ensure a smooth merchant onboarding experience.
• Adapt your approach based on market dynamics and imperfect information, continuously testing new messaging to improve closing techniques.

Basic Qualifications

• 3+ years of professional experience in B2B sales or business development.
• Proven track-record of conducting high-volume outbound cold calling and independent deal closing.
• Demonstrated resilience and a "go-get-it" attitude in a performance-driven sales environment.
• Fluency in the local market language, and professional proficiency in English.
• Ability to lead negotiations and manage commercial terms independently.

• Bachelor's degree
• Experience in the Food Delivery, Hospitality and Travel, Retail or FMCG industry.
• Familiarity with CRM systems like Salesforce
• Experience in a performance based compensation structure
