Junior Inside Sales Representative

Job Purpose

How you will make a difference?

 

As a Sales Development Representative (SDR), you will play a critical role in driving pipeline growth by identifying, engaging, and qualifying new customers within our regulatory change and content management business 

 

You will be the first point of contact for many prospects, helping them understand how RWS’s technology-enabled content transformation and localization solutions can solve real business challenges.
