Junior Sales Executive
The Junior Sales Executive will play a key role in supporting new business development efforts and building the foundation for a long-term career in enterprise technology sales. This is an entry-level role designed for someone eager to learn how to sell complex IT services and solutions to mid-market and large enterprise clients.
In this position, you’ll work closely with senior sales executives to generate leads, qualify prospects, support proposals, and gain deep exposure to the sales process — from initial contact through client onboarding. Over time, you’ll develop the skills and experience to manage your own accounts and progress into a full Outside Sales / Enterprise Account Executive role.

Sales Support
