• Partner closely with SSI’s Marketing team to create aligned prospecting campaigns and maintain a defined service‑level agreement (SLA).
• Implement and oversee CRM systems, sales intelligence tools, databases, and reporting infrastructure.
• Recruit, hire, onboard, and train sales team members following successful PoC completion.
• Lead ongoing sales training programs to ensure the team adapts to evolving digital marketing and sales best practices.
