We’re looking for someone who is:
- Confident speaking with founders, CXOs, business owners, and decision-makers.
- Naturally curious and genuinely enjoys talking to people.
- Comfortable with outbound sales, cold outreach, and handling rejection.
- Proactive and takes ownership instead of waiting for instructions.

- Ambitious and interested in building a long-term career in B2B sales.
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, founder-led environment.
- Persistent, organized, and consistent with follow-ups.
- Focused on outcomes and capable of working toward sales targets.
Experience
- 1–2 years of experience in sales, business development, client acquisition, or client-facing roles is preferred.
- Experience in IT services, software sales, SaaS, AI solutions, digital services, or technology consulting is an advantage.
- Candidates with demonstrated experience in B2B sales and closing deals are encouraged to apply.
