  • Strong communication, presentation, persuasion, and negotiation skills.
  • Commercially minded and comfortable initiating conversations with new prospects.
  • Self-motivated, proactive, entrepreneurial, and strongly results-oriented.
  • Ability to work independently, manage your own pipeline, and organise your priorities effectively in a fully remote environment.
  • Comfortable working with a performance-based compensation model where earnings are directly linked to generated business.
