🤝 Proven experience in sales/account management—you know how to build relationships and get results

🗣️ Great with stakeholders, from store managers to founders

🚀 A self-starter with the energy and drive to make stuff happen

⏱️ Someone who thrives in fast-paced environments and knows how to prioritise when things get busy
