You will become a Cleo product expert, including fluency in Cleo’s AI-driven ecosystem integration capabilities and develop the necessary skills to enjoy a future sales role here at Cleo. This role will require a high level of outbound activity, organization, and smart use of AI tools to maximize your impact.

If you are looking for a career in high-tech/software sales (not just another boring job), then this is the right role for you.

- Speak credibly with prospects about how AI and automation are transforming B2B integration and supply chain operations, and connect those trends to Cleo’s platform
- Stay curious and adaptable: proactively experiment with new AI tools and features, and keep your skills current as the technology evolves
### Prerequisites
