• Hitting assigned monthly & quarterly KPIs including calls, meetings, activation rate, and revenue
• Guiding new accounts through onboarding, overseeing amazing order experiences, and working closely with the Account Management team to ensure seamless handovers and client retention.
• Utilising Salesforce, Google Sheets, Looker report, and present on sales performance, pipeline, and growth strategies.
• Assisting with ad hoc tasks that fall under DfW's scope, such as attending trade events, supporting marketing activations, providing data reports, and chasing overdue client invoices.
• Being proactive in helping to improve sales processes and tools, and shortening the sales cycle.

What You'll Need to Thrive

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills in Italian and English are a must.
• 3+ years of B2B sales experience, with a demonstrated track record of driving revenue growth through a consultative and data-driven approach.
• Structured and analytical mindset, able to manage long, multi-stakeholder corporate negotiations through to close and to prioritise a pipeline.
• Resilient and comfortable handling objections and rejection - cold outreach is a core part of this role.
• Skilled at navigating multi-stakeholder corporate sales, engaging procurement, legal, HR, and finance contacts alongside the primary decision maker.
• Strong commercial curiosity - genuinely interested in understanding a client's business in order to tailor solutions
• Strong cross-team collaborator, able to work effectively with Account Management, Marketing, Product, and the wider DfW EU team to get deals done.
• Based in Milan (or willing to relocate).
