• Partnering with Marketing on events and campaigns that drive new business, and sharing customer feedback that helps shape the Flourish product roadmap

You're probably a match if

• You've have 3+ years of B2B sales experience, managing a full sales cycle from prospecting through to close, with a track record of hitting or beating your targets
• You're comfortable initiating conversations with senior stakeholders and can hold your own in a room with multiple decision-makers
• You know how to turn a complex product into a simple, compelling story for the customer in front of you
• You're organized and can juggle a pipeline of opportunities without letting the details slip
• You're curious about data and storytelling, and excited to learn the ins and outs of a product like Flourish
• Bonus: experience selling into media, broadcast, sports, or newsroom organizations, especially where data visualization or audience-engagement content plays a role

Since 2018, Flourish users have produced more than 10 million graphics that have racked up over 20 billion views, and our customer list spans leading newsrooms, universities, NGOs and government departments globally.
