  • Build out a Mid Market customer base and help ignite the overall region in terms of Revenue growth.
  • Ensure a strong and consistent outbound cadence with a view to bringing multiple new Mid Market logos to Udemy.
  • Beat revenue and activity targets on a weekly/monthly/quarterly basis.
  • Accurately forecast new sales pipelines along with add-on bookings.
  • Lead the charge in the region and across core sales responsibilities including acquiring clients; up-selling customers, building pipeline; negotiating and selling Udemy’s proposition.
  • Work cross-functionally with Sales/Business Development, Customer Success, Marketing, Content, etc. to drive the business forward.

  • Significant experience and competence developing relationships at C-Level
  • Exceptional skills in prospecting, discovery, presentation, buying behaviours, and overcoming objections
  • Strong drive for results, while retaining a focus on consistently delivering a great customer experience.
  • Get-it-done mindset: not afraid to roll up your sleeves, getting into the data and analyzing yourself and doing what it takes to get the job done - while also thinking and acting at a strategic level.
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills, attention to detail and the skill of dealing with ambiguity

We understand that not everyone will match each of the above qualifications. However, we also realize that everyone has unique experiences that can add value to our company. Even if you think your background might not perfectly align, we'd love to hear from you!
