  • Consistent track record of growing accounts by developing a strong relationship with clients, understanding their business objectives and recommending the best strategies for implementing solutions
  • Effective time management skills - ability to prioritize and meet deadlines
  • Expertise in working online advertising or a SAAS platform a plus
  • Excellent presentation and communication skills (written and verbal) and confidence speaking to large groups
  • Past experience in mentorship roles either personally or professionally preferred
