Strategic Sales Professional
We are looking for a driven and commercially focused Strategic Sales Professional to join our team and play a key role in winning new business and driving sustainable growth.
As an individual contributor, you will be responsible for identifying and developing high-potential prospects, building strong relationships with key decision-makers, and converting opportunities into long-term contractual and SLA-based customer partnerships.
This is a proactive, new-business-focused role where you will take ownership of the full sales cycle, from prospecting and lead generation through to value-based selling, negotiation, and contract close.
Working closely with our Inside Sales & Customer Success Team, you will ensure a seamless handover of new customers and support a positive onboarding experience that lays the foundation for successful, long-term relationships.
Key Responsibilities
In this role, you will:
- Identify and develop new business opportunities through proactive prospecting, networking, targeted outreach, and lead generation.
- Build relationships with prospective customers, understanding their business needs, and developing tailored, value-led solutions.
- Convert prospects into long-term customers, securing new contracts and SLA agreements that deliver sustainable business growth.
- Own the sales process from start to finish, from initial discovery and qualification through to proposal, negotiation, and successful close.
- Build and maintain a strong sales pipeline, ensuring opportunities, next steps, and forecasts are accurately managed through the CRM system.
- Develop compelling commercial proposals and work within agreed pricing and contract approval processes.
- Collaborate across the business, working closely with Inside Sales and Customer Success to ensure a smooth handover and positive onboarding experience for new customers.
- Monitor sales performance and pipeline activity, using insights to continuously improve conversion rates and new business wins.
- Stay informed on market and competitor activity, sharing customer and market insights to help strengthen our sales approach and value proposition.
