• Updating the CRM system to reflect your day‑to‑day sales activity
• Monitoring market trends, competitors and growth opportunities in your territory
• Working towards agreed sales targets and performance goals with management support

What We’re Looking For

We’re keen to hear from candidates who bring transferable sales or customer‑facing experience, coupled with enthusiasm, resilience and a willingness to learn.

• A genuine interest in building long‑term customer relationships
• Drive, initiative and a positive attitude toward achieving and exceeding targets
• Confidence communicating with a wide range of stakeholders
• The ability to learn new products and systems, including CRM tools
