You will have a very good understanding of how to access key players (companies and individuals) and will use this knowledge to generate new leads across relevant industries.

• Excellent understanding of what3words and the industries we work in, bringing ideas for capitalising on our global growth

You will be:

• Extremely tech-savvy (preferably you will have worked with technology, written some code, even if just once or twice, or sold a technology product)
• Able to engage immediately and confidently with senior influencers
• An exceptional relationship builder
• A natural collaborator who enjoys working in a team with clever and ambitious colleagues
• Highly persuasive and excellent at getting things done
• Willing to embrace all aspects of working in a fast-growing business, from managing day-to-day admin to giving speeches to global audiences or pitching CXOs from some of the world’s biggest brands
• Able to excel under pressure, with meticulous attention to detail
• Able to travel regularly, including at short notice
• Motivated by challenging targets and a fast-paced office environment
• Commercially-minded and committed to global social change through business

• Have worked in an industry where what3words is highly applicable
• Speak other languages and have done business abroad or travelled widely
• Can provide excellent references from colleagues as well as supervisors in your current/previous roles
• Have successfully sold something completely new and revolutionary
