• Providing Market Feedback: Gathering and relaying valuable insights from the Australian market to the product and leadership teams to inform product development and market strategy.
• Contributing to Sales Strategy: Testing and contributing to the development of effective sales strategies and playbooks for the Australian market.
• Reporting and Tracking Progress: Maintaining accurate records of sales activities and progress within our CRM system, Hubspot, to enable accurate forecasting and performance analysis.

You'll have:

• Proven Relationship Building Skills: You have a natural ability to build rapport and establish trust with individuals at all levels.
• Top-Class Communication Skills: You possess outstanding written and verbal communication skills, capable of articulating complex ideas clearly and persuasively.
• A Strategic Mindset: You can think strategically about market opportunities and develop effective approaches to engage potential partners.
• An Adaptive and Growth Mindset: You thrive in a dynamic environment, are comfortable with ambiguity, and are eager to learn and adapt quickly.

Nice to have:

• Experience in a fast-paced startup environment

Success looks like:

• Successfully closing initial deals in the Australian market, demonstrating the value and impact of Magic Notes.
• Building a strong and qualified pipeline of Australian-based prospects.
• Providing valuable market insights that inform Beam's Australian market strategy and product development.
• Establishing a foundational sales process for future growth in Australia.
