You will own the full sales cycle for these expansion opportunities, from generating leads within the account to negotiating deals and closing them. You/'ll collaborate closely with our broader Go-To-Market team to deliver a delightful customer experience, ensuring that as our customers grow, their partnership with Propeller grows too.
