* Driven to excel in a fast-paced, fun, start-up environment where you are consultative in nature and can navigate the complexities and needs of various clients, their size, industry, and lifecycle
* Comfortable with change in a high-growth organization: ability to demonstrate comfort with ambiguity, adapt quickly and be effective in new situations in a highly dynamic setting
* Technical aptitude; you can present and lead product demonstrations in the absence of sales engineers
* Start-up mentality; you are team-oriented, resilient, empathetic, and no ego
* Native Mandarin Fluency. Professional English reading, writing, speaking required. Cantonese fluency is a plus.
