Why this role:
  • Launch your B2B sales career at a fast-growing NYC-based research firm
  • Competitive base with uncapped commission and strong upside
  • Direct exposure to founders and senior leadership
  • Hands-on training in outbound prospecting, executive conversations, and modern sales tooling
