• Competitive and creative drive to win over customers and think outside the box to get a deal done
• Demonstrated ability to run a consultative discovery and demo meeting and run a structured sales process
• Proven success building and maintaining long term commercial relationships
• Highly effective communicator with good people instincts – able to build trust and work well with a diverse group inside and outside the company
• Highly organized, self-motivated, and detail-oriented; great follow-through on projects/tasks big and small
