We’re looking for someone with a background in B2B technology sales, ideally with experience in the marina industry, and a strong understanding of ERP/CRM systems such as Microsoft Dynamics or similar. You’ll be a confident communicator with excellent presentation and relationship-building skills, self-motivated, results-driven, and comfortable working independently.
