About The Role:

• Develop a short term and long term pipeline:
• Put your ear to the ground and you will find out about and be able to secure every deal

What You Must Be:

• A charmer; you can easily identify and network with the influencers of a city.
• A jack of many trades; from business development and operations to client support, and you’re excited to flex each of these ‘muscles’.
• Fired up about Apple; you are ready to live, eat and breathe Apple, spreading the love to everyone you encounter
• A person of high integrity; you're running the corporate show and we need to trust that you've got the best interests of the company in mind. You'll have a lot of responsibility, so you've got to step up to the plate.
