Mission of the Role
We are looking for a motivated and business-savvy individual to join our team and drive growth — commercial and technical. This is a hybrid role. The candidate will be involved in both business development (sales) and project management (internal technical coordination and external client-facing relationship). The exact distribution of each is fluid based on priorities of the company and may vary over time.
This role requires adaptability, comfort with ambiguity, proactive communication, an eagerness to learn, and a collaborative mindset.
Roles and Responsibilities
- Develop a deep understanding of our technology (e.g. system architecture, how it works, capabilities and limitations, etc.) and current client projects to quickly come “up to speed”.

The candidate is responsible for owning and managing the entire process from prospecting -> sales -> project execution.
- In parallel, one of the anticipated priorities will involve managing an internal project for development of a new product. This will require close collaboration with engineers and management stakeholders to define and manage the development schedule, roadmap, resolve bottlenecks, etc.
- Assist with day-to-day operational and project management tasks to support senior colleagues achieve the team’s business critical targets.
- Update project JIRA boards to track status of activities and updates.
