• Paint the Northstar vision and opportunity for prospects, through a combination of quantitative ROI and qualitative value propositions

• Build strong relationships and champions within prospects to drive deal to close

You should:

• Have experience in the early high growth stages of a startup, before systems and processes have been completely established

• Be comfortable with traveling at least 20% of the time (post COVID-19)

How you will be successful:
