• Run a disciplined pipeline. Keep Salesforce current, draft proposals and manage engagements so the forecast is reliable.
• Customize offerings . Keep abreast of the competitive landscape to fine-tune our offering. We are the premium provider in terms of product quality and team composition; our client base and compensation should reflect this.

What success looks like in your first 12 months

• A qualified pipeline of prospects in Mexico, with several new clients signed.
• You are the go-to colleague for analysts and global teams on Mexican clients.
• Several client events or roundtables held in Mexico City.
• Support retention and growth of existing customer base.

Who you are

• 6+ years in business development, sales or client-facing consulting, with a track record of winning new clients and meeting or exceeding revenue targets.
• A hunter. You enjoy prospecting, are comfortable with a competitive landscape and long consultative sales cycles, and are energized by engaging C-suite and senior decision makers.
• A people person who builds trust easily and enjoys the internal work of rallying colleagues around a client.
