Founded in 2002, we help high-growth B2B technology companies accelerate pipeline and revenue through outsourced sales development. With offices across North America and Europe, and a global team of 300+ professionals, we support innovative startups and global tech leaders alike.

Security, compliance & governance
* Own the Salesforce security model including access, permissions, and sharing frameworks
* Ensure systems meet client, internal, and regulatory compliance requirements, including GDPR
* Define governance standards around data audits, retention, and risk management
* Partner with IT and leadership on broader security and compliance initiatives
Stakeholder & business partnership
* Partner with Operations, Sales, Marketing, and Delivery leaders to translate business needs into scalable system solutions
* Provide technical leadership in internal and client-facing discussions when required
* Proactively identify opportunities to improve workflows, automation, and user experience
