Growth Opportunities:

This role is designed for someone who wants more than just a quota-carrying AE position. As one of the senior members of the APAC sales organization, you will have the opportunity to:

• Build a region: Help shape Gumlet's APAC enterprise GTM strategy from the ground up.
• Own strategic accounts: Work on $20K to $100K+ ARR opportunities with some of the region's largest digital businesses.
• Influence product: Bring enterprise customer insights directly to Product and Engineering leadership.

• Excellent communication, presentation and negotiation skills.
• Ability to understand and confidently discuss technical products with Engineering/Technology stakeholders.

• You won't just be selling into a market, you'll have the opportunity to help build the market for Gumlet.
