The Role 
Reporting to our Head of Sales in Melbourne, you will connect with new users and prospects, communicate the value of our platform through customised discovery and demonstrations, and progress opportunities from trial to committed customers.

  • Support the Product team to improve onboarding workflows using automation and AI and provide product feedback based on real customer use cases. 
  • Embrace AI day-to-day. Ability and willingness to adopt AI tools is important. You should be comfortable using AI tools in your work, and to leverage Affinda’s capability as a world-leading AI company.
