- Solid comfort and confidence with everyday tech tools:
- Microsoft (Outlook, Excel, Teams)

- Zoom and virtual meetings
- Familiarity with tools like Salesforce, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Apollo, ChatGPT, or similar is a plus
- Organized, reliable, and comfortable working remotely
- Experience in media, finance, or B2B sales is a bonus, not a must
- Open to occasional travel for events or meetings
