We revel in making the seemingly impossible possible, always rising to the challenge with ambition and a genuine, open attitude.  

We work flexibly to accommodate our TAG team colleagues, meaning on occasion there could be requirements outside of office hours to manage time zones and other work commitments.

  • Demonstrated success in a similar role
  • Competency using the Salesforce platform (or other CRM/equivalent)
  • Proven record of working in a dynamic and fast-paced environment
  • Excellent interpersonal and networking skills and a skilled communicator in all forms of communication
  • Highly motivated and results-driven mentality with a determined attitude to achieve KPIs and company objectives
  • Ability to negotiate and influence a wide range of people at all levels of business
  • Able to research, source, share and record information effectively and accurately
  • Strong presentation skills for a variety of audiences and sizes
  • Forward-thinking and dynamic, with solid prioritising and organisation of own workload
  • Capable of interchanging autonomous independent work with being a team player, as well as collaborative teamwork throughout the organisation
  • Willingness to work within changing priorities with continued enthusiasm
  • Appreciation for timely responses/actions and meeting strict deadlines
  • Consistent attention to detail and high levels of accuracy
  • Proactive and continuous personal development to increase and maintain expertise
  • Flexibility to working hours in consideration of global office time zones

We will work with you to find the best mix of office and home working that suits your life and the needs of the team.  

You will report into the Head of Sales, who is based in London. There are other regional teams based in APAC and the US that you may work closely with, too.
