Working closely with senior stakeholders across your accounts, you will act as a trusted partner, understanding their challenges and demonstrating how Board Intelligence can deliver measurable value.
This role will suit someone who is self-motivated, commercially minded, and thrives in a high-performance environment. You will have the confidence to engage with senior decision makers, the curiosity to understand their strategic priorities, and the credibility to position our product as a solution that enables better governance, smarter decision making, and stronger business outcomes.

- Excellent communication and influencing skills, with the ability to engage senior stakeholders
- Self-motivated and driven to exceed targets, with strong organisational skills
