You have mastered a complete sales cycle , from discovery to signing.
You have already worked in Mid-Market sales with demanding clients and cycles requiring methodology, relational finesse and a results-oriented approach.

You have a true closer's temperament , supported by concrete results and a proven ability to achieve, or even exceed, your objectives.
You know how to manage several subjects in parallel without losing quality of execution.
You are structured enough to manage your business rigorously in Hubspot, and agile enough to thrive in a startup environment.

You appreciate environments where you are expected to be autonomous, proactive and make a real contribution to the collective.
You want to join an impactful company, working on a fundamental issue: education, employability and continuous skills development.
