Junior Account Executive

About the role

The Business Development & Inside Sales Representative is a graduate entry point into enterprise technology sales at Ubisense. It is a dual role, and both halves matter equally.

Business development: you will qualify inbound leads and run structured outbound campaigns that create pipeline for the Account Executives.

Inside sales: you will own the day-to-day transactional business with existing customers and channel partners. This covers hardware, tag and spares orders, partner orders and demo kits, handled quickly and accurately from quote to delivery. It keeps customers well served and frees the Account Executives to focus on larger deals.

Closing new business stays with the sales team; this role makes sure they have the right opportunities to work on, and that existing customers get a fast, reliable service.
