Able to grasp unfamiliar technical and commercial contexts, extract relevant detail and actively listen to come up with creative solutions for client problems in a sales scenario. \nClear desire to develop trusted client relationships, showing insight into the technical aspects of our offering as well as an entrepreneurial approach to addressing unmet client needs. \nCollaborative, curious and joined-up approach to connecting with key stakeholders within the business as well as to build external relationships with both existing and prospective clients. \nPrevious formal sales or business development experience is not essential.
