Sales Executive, Strategic Accounts
About The Position
Growthspace was founded on the belief that L&D is a business-critical function that is instrumental to the success of any organization. The unfortunate reality is that many organizations still do not recognize L&D as such, because it is hard to understand the true impact of L&D initiatives on business KPIs. Growthspace helps companies solve this through our skills mastery platform, designed to launch, manage and measure 1:1 coaching & mentoring, team coaching, cohort-based workshops, training, and internal mentoring programs–enabling customers to drive business KPIs through human-to-human development programs.
