We think you’ll likely have these skills and attributes if you have the following experience:
1 to 3 years of experience in customer facing roles such as SDR, Customer Support, or Recruiting, Client Analyst
Advisory experience: roles in the past will have included an element of helping people understand what will improve their business, not necessarily just doing what the customer wants
Analysis: experience extrapolating meaning from either a small amount of customer interactions and apply to a larger group, or through data analysis. Someone who can see the trees and understand the forest.
