Regrettably we are unable to provide visa sponsorship, so you must be eligible to work in the location you reside.

• Reaching out to clients to drive engagement and ensure they’re getting value from the platform
• Driving renewals by maintaining strong relationships and demonstrating ROI
• Identifying and qualifying upsell and expansion opportunities, working closely with Sales to ensure they are effectively progressed
• Coordinating with internal teams (implementation, support, product, sales) to resolve issues and improve the customer experience
• Acting as the “voice of the customer” internally, sharing feedback to improve products and services
• Handling any challenges or escalations, ensuring issues are resolved quickly and professionally

These are the essentials you’ll need to get an interview:

• 1-3 years of experience in a client facing role managing accounts
• Some experience in sales CRM applications such as Salesforce
• Experience with the Microsoft Office suite, particularly Excel
• Fluency in English (written and verbal) is required
• Willingness to travel to client sites

Behavioural Skills:

• Build and maintain strong direct client relationships with key stakeholders & retain those relationships
• Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to manage multiple stakeholders
• High level of resilience and a positive attitude when faced with adversity
• Demonstrates curiosity about technology and AI, with a solutions-focused approach
• Strong problem-solving ability, with a natural curiosity around the client’s business needs

It would be great if you had these to, but we’ll support you if you don’t:

• Prior experience in SaaS or GRC is advantageous
• Understanding of GRC domain, regulations, industry standards, as well as experience with software solutions and platforms
