What are the responsibilities and job description for the Market Development Representative position at RELEX Solutions?
Our business is growing rapidly, and we are looking for an enthusiastic Market Development Representative to support inbound qualification and demand generation. This is a full-time entry level position, and while experience in the field of enterprise software business development or sales is an advantage, it is not a requirement.
Your mission will be to act as the first point of contact for prospective clients that reach out to RELEX, as well as working with our Marketing and Business Development teams to drive demand generation across the US. This typically includes event warming (i.e. inviting prospects to virtual and physical events) and event follow-up. As the first point of contact, you’ll speak with Retailers and Manufacturers of all sizes and specialisms, qualifying whether we’re the right solution for their specific needs. We consider this a critical role within RELEX, as you will set the first impression and, as such, we will provide you comprehensive training and support. You’ll work closely with an internationally distributed team of Market Development Reps, who work as part of the larger Business Development function, meaning that you will not only be supported by your team lead, but also by a wide network of colleagues. We are seeking dedicated and enthusiastic individual who is eager to gain hands-on experience in the commercial aspects of supply chain software and grow their skills in a supportive and innovative environment. As a part of our team, you will have the unique opportunity to learn from industry professionals, contribute to our commercial strategies, and make a tangible impact on our company. You will report to the Market Development Team Lead, but will be matrixed into the Head of Americas BD, and will work alongside other sales professionals within RELEX.
Join us as a Market Development Representative, and here’s what you can expect:
RELEXians can be found around the world, and while we have team members working in 30 states, here, our main office is in Atlanta, Georgia. With a new, inviting and cool office space in Colony Square, when you’re not travelling to customers or working from home, you can explore all there is to do in the area or bring along your pet for a change of scenery. Your future colleagues champion our world-class product and value our approach to flexibility and work-life balance. Our transparent culture is second to none, so don’t be surprised at our impressive development and progression opportunities!
