• Ability to establish trust and rapport with client personas through active listening, empathy, integrity, and diplomacy.
• Referencable experience partnering with banks and other financial services enterprises.

• Identify challenges and opportunities our clients and prospects are facing that can be solved with our products and solutions.
• Work with the pre-sales team to help articulate and close the technical sale.
• Work with marketing to identify account-based marketing campaigns to help influence deals through thought leadership content.
• Sales management, including negotiating contracts and agreements, pipeline and database health.
• Contribute to the sales tools that will help you through the buying and sales process, such as buyer journey mapping, personas, use cases, demos, business cases, etc.
• Communicate month, quarter, annual, and longer-term objectives with Electrum’s internal team and external clients.

• Continue your six-month plan and include the following:
• Build and close a new business pipeline, by understanding your prospect’s business objectives and Electrum’s product fit while navigating the complexities of the enterprise buying and sales process.
• Work with the account executive to research addressable markets and identify new growth opportunities by understanding market size, key target characteristics, persona pain points, and product propositions.
• Work with the product team to define development opportunities for new products aligned to our core solutions.
• Work with marketing to identify outbound campaigns, develop collateral, blogs, case studies, etc., to help advance sales, generate inbound leads, or influence deals.

We have created a high-performance culture where you can expect the following:

• Transparency - We openly discuss strategy, finances, salaries, and other major decisions.
• Autonomy - We know you'll be able to make good decisions if you have good information, and we trust you.
• Shared Vision - You'll be able to shape a vision you can believe in - on how to build the future of financial services.
• Work-life balance - You know when your brain has switched off for the day, and you need to go for a hike or coffee shop with a view, but you also know when your team needs help to bring that strategic deliverable home. At Electrum, you will be expected to know when you deserve that time out and when you need to knuckle down and get the work done.

• These are a few practical ways we practice the culture we are so proud of:
• Flexible work hours.
• Our Cape Town offices offer a fully-stocked kitchen with daily lunch provided.
• Our Johannesburg-based staff have access to Workshop17 facilities.
• Team socializing like hikes, getaways, and dinners.

A generous leave policy, starting at 20 days per year. If this sounds like a role and place where you can spread your wings, please apply now.

We have created a safe, transparent environment where:

• We know mistakes happen, and that’s okay. We even have a three-step approach to dealing with them:

1. Tell everyone about it.
2. Fix the mistake.
3. Tell everyone about the solution.

• You are responsible for your actions – both the successes and the failures.
• We talk openly about salaries and bonuses. At Electrum, we believe it’s evident why some people earn more and others a bit less. It’s like being on a sports team where salaries are widely known.
