About the role
The Opportunity

As part of our Product Advisors team, you will play a critical role in our growth by executing a rigorous outbound prospecting motion that directly builds pipeline and supports our Enterprise Sales team.

- Exceed Targets: Consistently hit and exceed monthly and quarterly outbound opportunity quotas.
