You might come from professional services, memberships, education, or another relationship-led sales environment - but what matters most is your ability to sell. You'll bring: 4 years' experience in sales or business development A strong track record of hitting or exceeding targets Confidence in face-to-face engagement and presentations Excellent communication and relationship-building skills Strong discipline, organisation, and follow-through A proactive, self-starting mindset Experience in membership organisations is helpful - but not essential.
