• Proven track record of renewals and new business growth in a target-driven environment.
• Confident communicator, able to engage with senior decision-makers and present with authority.
• Self-starter who thrives on autonomy and can hit the ground running.
• Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple deals and deadlines.
• Willingness and enthusiasm to travel across the UK for client meetings and events.
• Tech-savvy with experience using CRM systems and Microsoft Office.

Why Join Us
