About the Role

Captivate

IQ is looking for our next Business Development Representative! You will join a team that has already proven to be one of the most crucial go-to-market drivers for CIQ's monumental growth in the last 3 years.

This job is only won by ambitious, disciplined, tenacious, resilient, humble, competitive, endlessly curious, and coachable individuals regarding the art and science of sales.
