• 4-year university degree (bachelor's)
• Exceptional business communication skills, enabling you to execute executive storytelling, challenge the status quo, and handle complex contracting negotiations
• High learning agility, analytical thinking, and commercial curiosity to quickly grasp the nuances of various corporate industries
• High AI fluency and advanced CRM tracking skills
• Native-level proficiency in English

Requirements

• Fluency in an additional language (nice to have)
• Background in SaaS, financial technology, or information security sectors (nice to have)
