Role Overview

We are seeking an ambitious, highly relationship-driven Sales Associate to accelerate our ecosystem expansion across key regional territories. The ideal candidate is hungry to learn all aspects of prop-tech sales from cold outreach through to customer relationship management.

In this role, your success relies on a balanced approach that pairs strategic partnership management with proactive market engagement.

To feed this ecosystem, uncovering new logos and introducing our solution to untapped markets is essential. You will drive this growth by executing strategic outbound outreach, representing the brand at corporate networking events, and maintaining high baseline touchpoints across territories. This requires strong mobility and the agility to manage your time effectively, whether operating from an office environment or driving opportunities through key in-person meetings.
