WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR
We're looking for someone who is hungry, commercially minded, proactive, and comfortable selling something that requires education and explanation.
You don't need to be an expert in AI or online proctoring.
You do need to be able to understand a product quickly, understand a customer's problem, communicate value clearly, and confidently ask for the sale.
You should have:
Proven experience in sales, business development, or a similar customer-facing commercial role.
Experience selling B2B products or services.
Strong prospecting and lead-generation skills.
Excellent written and verbal communication.

Professional certification organisations
Training providers
Examination bodies
HR/L&D organisations
Government or public-sector institutions
B2B SaaS companies
Existing relationships with educational institutions or organisations would also be a significant advantage.
WHAT WE EXPECT FROM YOU
We're not looking for someone who simply waits for leads to arrive.
We want someone who can say:
"Give me the product, the market, and the tools, I'll find the people who need it and start the conversation."
You should be comfortable with rejection, persistent without being pushy, and able to manage a sales process independently.
Most importantly, you should be able to understand why Eye Proctor matters and communicate that value to potential customers.
Key Performance Indicators
Your performance will be measured by metrics such as:
Qualified leads generated
Sales meetings booked
Product demos conducted
Pipeline value generated
Proposal-to-close conversion rate
New customers acquired
Monthly/quarterly revenue generated
