高级销售负责人

At Loka our teams launch meaningful projects across a wide range of industries. In the last year we helped advance the world’s #1 AI reading tutor, transform rundown homes into green machines and accelerate novel drug discovery to fight leukemia. And we did it all while working 100% remotely and enjoying every other Friday off 😎

We’re seeking experienced technical sales reps or candidates with a strong technical background combined with customer-facing experience. You should take genuine joy in helping businesses succeed by diagnosing cloud architecture challenges and advising the most appropriate technical solutions. Your sales training is more important than your engineering and/or cloud account management experience: The former builds the kind of knowledge you’ll need to hit the ground running; the latter you’ll earn along the way.
