Introduce and present relevant products, services, and solutions to prospective clients and partners. Build and maintain strong relationships with prospects, clients, schools, businesses, financial institutions, partners, and other stakeholders. Develop leads and opportunities from initial engagement through follow-up, conversion, partnership development, and onboarding. Identify and develop strategic partnership opportunities that can contribute to business growth. Conduct regular market and field activities to identify and develop new client and partnership opportunities. Follow up consistently on leads, prospects, and partnership opportunities to drive conversion and business growth. Support the adoption, activation, and continued use of products by clients and partners where required. Work closely with internal teams to ensure smooth onboarding, effective client engagement, and successful execution of partnerships. Maintain accurate records of prospects, engagements, opportunities, partnerships, conversions, and other activities. Meet assigned client growth, acquisition, engagement, partnership, and conversion targets.

A self-motivated individual who can identify opportunities and take initiative. Comfortable working with targets and measurable results. Ability to work both independently and as part of a team.
