As a member of our Italian Sales team, you will have the opportunity to be a key contributor to our future growth and success. Developing the market and acquiring new business are fundamental to our expansion strategy - and you will play an important role in driving this growth. While we have a significant client base today, the addressable market for this role remains vast.

In addition, you will target specific verticals by developing true expertise in the challenges and trends of the sectors in scope. Recognising that we operate within a large ecosystem of technology vendors, partnerships are also a critical element of our growth plans and you will participate directly in how we partner for success.
In every client interaction, you will drive agility and responsiveness - characteristics that we recognise as key competitive advantages for Soldo. As part of a world-class team, we expect you to collaborate cross-functionally to deliver the best outcomes for clients. We seek individuals who bring the right experience, capabilities, and a strong cultural fit to Soldo.
