From the employer
The Opportunity
Join our global Sales & Business Development organisation in a dedicated outbound role, creating qualified enterprise pipeline across a defined territory and target account base.
You will combine strategic account research, targeted prospecting, and consultative discovery to engage senior stakeholders, uncover business challenges, and generate high-quality sales opportunities. Success requires both meaningful customer engagement and consistent outbound activity.

- Partner with Account Managers and Pre-Sales teams to support commercial and technical discovery.
- Deliver comprehensive handovers including stakeholder mapping, business challenges, scope, and agreed next steps.
