• Present and clearly articulate Oyster’s global employment platform to target buyers
• Organize, optimize, and manage your pipeline for maximum efficiency and predictable results
• Serve as the voice of the market, collaborating with the GTM team (Sales, Marketing, Product, etc.) to translate buyer intelligence into strategy

What We Value

• Growth Mindset – You actively seek and implement feedback, always looking for ways to improve, master your craft, and ensure your career progression
