If this sounds like a mission that you’d like to be a part of then we may have an opportunity for you!

We are looking for a self-motivated, enthusiastic sales professional who is eager to be a part of a collaborative growth team, driven to find sales opportunities, and excited to promote the Supporting Strategies Brand.

• Work strategically with the Financial Operations team and ensure a successful handoff from the sales process to implementation

• A minimum of a Bachelor’s Degree is preferred
