• Maintain accurate lead, activity, and qualification information in the CRM and share feedback to improve the sales development process

You are motivated, curious, and resilient, with the confidence to start conversations, ask smart questions, follow up consistently, and build trust with prospective customers.

• 2+ years of experience in inside sales, sales development, demand generation, telemarketing, customer service, or a related role
• A bachelor’s degree in Business or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with a positive and professional phone presence

At Gallagher, you’ll be part of a global security technology organization with a clear purpose: protecting what matters most. You’ll join a collaborative Americas team, build valuable experience across the security technology market, and make a direct impact on pipeline growth and customer engagement.

This role offers a hybrid work model, annual incentive opportunity, and the chance to grow your career with a global business while staying connected to a local team.
