At Vistra our purpose is progress. We believe that our clients have the power to change the world and to do great things for global progress, and we exist to remove the friction that comes from the complexity of global business – to help our clients achieve progress without friction.

Performance & Reporting

• Experience using CRM and sales engagement platforms such as Salesforce, HubSpot, or similar tools is preferred.
• Demonstrated ability to manage and prioritise both inbound lead follow-up and outbound prospecting activities effectively.
