Key Responsibilities

• Qualify inbound leads from marketing campaigns, webinars, and events, and route them to the appropriate sales team members


• Book discovery meetings and product/service demonstrations for Account Executives and Solutions Consultants


• Learn and clearly articulate CloudPlexo's value proposition across AWS cloud services, Microsoft solutions, cybersecurity offerings, and AI consulting


• Maintain accurate and up-to-date records of all prospect interactions in the CRM


• Collaborate with marketing to provide feedback on campaign quality and messaging effectiveness


• Consistently meet or exceed weekly and monthly targets for outreach activity, qualified leads, and booked meetings


• Stay informed on cloud, cybersecurity, and AI industry trends to engage prospects in credible, relevant conversations


• Participate fully in the graduate training programme, including sales methodology workshops, technical foundation courses (e.g., AWS Cloud Practitioner, Microsoft fundamentals), and shadowing senior colleagues

What We're Looking ForEssential

• A recent graduate (or final-year student) with a bachelor's degree in Business, Marketing, Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field


• Strong verbal and written communication skills, with the confidence to engage senior decision-makers


• A genuine interest in technology — particularly cloud computing, cybersecurity, and AI


• Self-motivated, resilient, and comfortable with rejection as part of the sales process


• Excellent organisational skills and attention to detail


• A coachable mindset and eagerness to learn

Desirable (Not Required)

• Previous experience in sales, customer service, telemarketing, or a customer-facing role (including internships or part-time work)


• Familiarity with CRM tools (e.g., HubSpot, Salesforce)


• Basic understanding of cloud platforms (AWS or Microsoft Azure)


• Experience using LinkedIn or other social platforms for professional networking
