As hx enters 2025, we are building a world-class Sales Development Organisation to accelerate our growth. After achieving consistent year-over-year expansion in revenue and team size, we’re targeting new markets and accounts, including some of the largest names in the insurance industry.

As an Senior Sales Development Representative you will play a critical role in creating and expanding opportunities within our key named accounts.
