    • Partner cross-functionally with Solutions, Operations, Product/Technology, and Marketing to deliver compelling proposals and presentations aligned to client needs.

    • Strong ability to communicate, present, and influence at all organizational levels, including executive and C-suite.
    • Proven expertise in full-cycle sales execution (plan → prospect → qualify → propose → negotiate → close).
    • Experience positioning offerings against competitors with clear differentiation, ROI/value articulation, and outcome-based selling.
    • Strong listening, negotiation, and presentation skills; confident leading executive-level conversations.
    • Solid understanding of media localization (subtitling and dubbing) workflows and tools (e.g., end-to-end localization process, vendor ecosystems, operational constraints and quality expectations in M&E).
    • Willingness to travel up to ~50% as needed for client meetings and key industry events.
    • Experience selling to one or more of: streaming platforms, major studios, broadcasters, post-production houses, gaming publishers, ad/creative agencies.
