- Bachelor's degree or diploma in Business, IT, Engineering, or a related discipline. Quantitative or technical backgrounds are a strong asset.
- Demonstrated track record of meeting or exceeding sales targets through strategic outreach and persistent follow-up.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with a proven ability to initiate conversations, build rapport, and influence decision-makers through compelling value propositions.
- Strong command of English, both written and verbal, ensuring clear, professional interaction with clients and internal stakeholders.
- Familiarity with CRM platforms (e.g., Salesforce, HubSpot, Microsoft Dynamics) and lead generation tools is a plus.
- Highly self-driven and commercially minded, with a demonstrated ability to work independently and deliver results in a complex B2B sales environment.
- Experience working across cross-functional teams such as pre-sales, marketing, and sales to deliver cohesive messaging and solutions is preferred.
- Strong business acumen with the ability to understand and articulate how ERP solutions address key business challenges and operational needs.
- Experience engaging with senior-level stakeholders (e.g., CFOs, CIOs, Heads of Operations) and navigating multi-tiered decision-making processes.
- Experience with or understanding of IFS, Acumatica, or other tier-2 ERP systems is a strong advantage.
