The Role

You will drive our revenue growth by focusing on solution-based sales, generating new business opportunities with prospective clients.

You’ll have a growth mindset and always be looking to develop yourself. As a learning company, we are passionate about empowering our employees with opportunities for learning and career growth. We offer all our employees free Learning Tree courses and our sales team work with an established Sales Coach to improve and develop their skills.
