We Are:

As the climb gets tough, you keep the group focused on the summit while you navigate obstacles along the way. You enjoy bringing talented people together and charting the path to shared success.

The Work:

As a Sales Excellence Specialist, you manage deal teams throughout the entire bid lifecycle. You use your sales process knowledge to ensure the right resources are engaged in preparing, developing, and negotiating bids that meet and exceed client requirements.

  • Bachelor or comparable degree
  • Minimum 2 or more years of experience doing similar work

  • Very good leadership, people management, communication, and team building skills
  • English is required for this position as this role will regularly interact with stakeholders across Canada, US and other countries across our Global footprint where English is the common language. Due to the significant high volume of interactions with these English-speaking stakeholders, which is inherent to this position, it is not possible to reorganize the company's activities to avoid this requirement.

Extra credit if you have:

  • Experience with sales, sales enablement and negotiations fundamentals and familiarity with concepts such as pipeline management, deal qualification, competitive positioning, client relationship strategy, deal shaping or financial modeling
