- Partner with customers to understand their business needs and requirements
Requirements
- 4+ years of SaaS sales experience, ideally to SMB or Mid-Market customers

- Detail oriented with ability to multi-task, organize, and prioritize work
- Collaborative and team oriented
- Construction industry knowledge a plus
