Today’s Apple gear deals are now alive and well starting with even lower prices on the new M4 MacBook Air lineup – just about all of the 13-inch configurations have now dropped even lower with a new all-time low now live on the most affordable model in brand-new condition. From there we move over to a notable $79 price drop on AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation down at $99.99 shipped in Best Buy certified refurbished condition alongside the black Apple Watch Ultra 2 configs back down at the lowest price we have tracked on Amazon this year. All of that and more, alongside details on tonight’s Switch 2 pre-orders are waiting below.  AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation are $79 off today (Best Buy certified refurbished) While we have tracked a few chances to save on the latest AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation, there hasn’t been quite as many deals on those as we have seen on the base model set without the ANC or AirPods Pro 2. There was a short-lived 1 day offer on a refurbished set over the weekend at $85, but we wanted to touch down this morning to highlight a notable chance to save as part of the now live Best Buy Outlet sale that has official Geek Squad certified refurbished units down at $99.99 shipped – the second lowest price we have tracked to date on AirPods 4 with ANC. Apple’s AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation released last fall for the first time alongside the base model set, iPhone 16, and the black Apple Watch Ultra 2. They carry a $179 list price but have been readily available on Amazon for $169 for months like they are right now. Today’s deal knocks $79 off the list to deliver a price at $39 under the best new condition deal we have tracked to date at Amazon – that price only happened once for Black Friday and hasn’t returned since. The units we are featuring here today are Best Buy Geek Squad certified refurbished covered under Best Buy’s Return & Exchange Promise. They have been “thoroughly, painstakingly and lovingly tested, so you can be sure that your device will work right, right away,” and ship with the AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation, “Charging Case (USB-C) with speaker, Documentation, (USB-C Charge Cable sold separately) with 90 Days warranty.” Clearly some folks would prefer to just wait on a brand-new condition deal, even if it is at a higher price than today’s, and we completely understand. Refurbished headphone deals can get dicey, but we do recommend sticking with programs like the Best Buy certified, in-house Bose options, and the Amazon Premium Renewed listings if you are going to go this route. This is the lowest price around after all. Dive into our hands-on review of Apple’s AirPods 4 right here where we said they are “better in every way.” Now even lower: New Amazon lows hit Apple’s M4 MacBook Air lineup at up to $100 off, brand-new configs from $912 In our continued effort to uncover the best possible deals on Apple’s latest M4 MacBook Air lineup, we wanted to highlight the deal Amazon is now offering on the Starlight 15-inch model with the upgraded 24GB of RAM and the 512GB SSD. Regularly $1,599, you can land this one down at $1,499 shipped to deliver a solid $100 in savings and the lowest price we have tracked to date in brand-new condition on this configuration. As of the time of writing only the Starlight variant is seeing the straight up $100 price drop right now – the Midnight model is at the $1,519 all-time low as well, but the other two are very near full price. For the record, even Best Buy’s open-box listings on this model are sitting at prices worth of $1,400. Let’s take a run down of the best new prices across the lineup over at Amazon for folks not interested in the upgraded 15-inch above – all three of the most affordable 13-inch models have now dropped an additional $10 to $20 to deliver new lows on just about all color options, much like the 15-inch configs seen below: 13-inch M4 MacBook Air 16GB/256GB from $939 $912 (Reg. $999) 13-inch M4 MacBook Air 16GB/512GB from $1,129 $1,097 (Reg. $1,199) 13-inch M4 MacBook Air 24GB/512GB $1,319 $1,307 (Reg. $1,399) 15-inch M4 MacBook Air 16GB/256GB $1,129 (Reg. $1,399) 15-inch M4 MacBook Air 16GB/512GB $1,319 $1,307 (Reg. $1,399) 15-inch M4 MacBook Air 24GB/512GB $1,519 (Reg. $1,599) While the price drops on the M4 MacBook Air have been a bit of a slow burn with just about all configs hovering in that $50 off range, we are now just starting to see a good collection of models dropping below that by as much as $100 to give folks a shot at some savings. It’s hard to say exactly how the tariff situation is going to take hold of the latest MacBooks here in terms of potential price hikes, but there are definitely some savings to be had at well below the pre-Trump MSRPs. Amazon brings back one of its best prices of the year on all black Apple Watch Ultra 2 models at $730 Amazon is bringing back the black Apple Watch Ultra 2 deals, and now undercutting the spring sale price from last week. You’ll now find all three of the stock satin black titanium configurations that debuted last fall down at $729.99 shipped, including the Black Ocean Band, the Black Trail Loop, and the Dark Green Alpine Loop models. Now within $1 of the lowest price we have tracked on new-condition units all year on Amazon, you’ll want to head below for more details. There were some offers in the $719 range on the black Ultra 2 at Amazon for Black Friday and the holidays last year, but anything under $740 since then has been notable. While we were recently tracking some notable open-box listings at Best Buy to nab these same configurations for less, those deals have come and gone now with most of them landing at prices higher than Amazon’s new listing we are featuring above. You will find some “good” and “fair” condition units there for less, but we tend to only recommend going for the “excellent” condition Best Buy open-box units – it’s sort of hard to justify spending $600 or more on something that might come scratched or dented, even if you can barely see it. The Apple Watch Ultra 3 is expected to make its worldwide debut this fall alongside the next-generation iPhone, and we wouldn’t blame you for just holding off until then. But for me, Apple Watch, and especially the Ultra models are really more of a multi-year investment and there’s frankly no telling what pricing or deals might look like through the end of 2025 on the latest series 3 models. Either way, you’ll want to scope some of our coverage on 9to5Mac before you make a final decision on any of this: Apple Watch band discovery box deal: Buy 1 official Solo Loop for $20 and get 2 FREE (Orig. $147), more Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders go live tonight from $450, here’s everything you need to be ready Today’s accessories and charging deals: We are once again tracking another chance to score the lowest new price to date on Apple’s latest iPad (A16). Amazon is now offering the base model 128GB configuration in blue and yellow down at $319.99 shipped. The pink and silver variants are remaining at the prices we have been tracking over the last month or so starting at $329. Regularly $349, today’s deals certainly aren’t massive or anything but again, $320 is the lowest we have tracked on brand-new units since the latest iPad 11, or iPad (A16), debuted under two months ago. This is only the second time we have seen the blue this low and the very first time the yellow model has dropped below $329. Here’s how the discounted pricing works out across the lineup right now – only the 128GB variant is matching the lowest we have tracked to date. 128GB iPad (A16) from $320 (Reg. $349) 256GB iPad (A16) from $429 (Reg. $449) 512GB iPad (A16) from $609 (Reg. $649) While for many the 128GB is going to feel underwhelming, myself included, this is Apple’s ultra-affordable entry-level tablet after all. I would argue that, for the folks interested in picking up Apple’s latest casual iPad experience, scoring the most affordable possible configuration is key – once you get up into the $400+ range you could just land a discounted iPad mini 7 or M2/3 Air. This iPad features a slightly larger 11-inch Liquid Retina Display, 12MP front/12MP back cameras, Wi-Fi 6, USB-C connectivity, and runs on the A16 chip – it is not Apple Intelligence-compatible, but rather a more family-friendly casual tablet experience that brings the iPad vibes home for less. Hit up our launch coverage over at 9to5Mac for more details. Just remember, if you have an older iPad 10 or something to trade-in, you can still score this model at as much as $175 off – all of the details you need to know await right here.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve noticed my use of AirPods steadily increasing over time. And with iOS 19, Apple plans to offer yet another reason to never take your AirPods off: live translation. Live translation in iOS 19 will make AirPods even more useful When AirPods first launched, they felt like a futuristic, wireless version of earbuds—but not much more. Over time, thanks to features like Active Noise Cancellation, Transparency mode, Conversation Awareness, and more, AirPods started becoming more like augmented reality devices for your ears. Then in iOS 18.1, AirPods Pro 2 added Hearing Aid and Hearing Protection features that offered even more reason to wear AirPods constantly. In iOS 19, yet another upgrade will continue that trend. Per Mark Gurman, Apple is preparing a live translation feature for AirPods running iOS 19. Here’s how it will work: If an English speaker is hearing someone talk in Spanish, the iPhone will translate the speech and relay it to the user’s AirPods in English. The English speaker’s words, meanwhile, will be translated into Spanish and played back by the iPhone. Gurman implies that at least some existing AirPods models will gain the feature, but it’s also possible it could end up being exclusive to AirPods Pro 3 and its new H3 chip. Depending on how often you’re in multilingual environments, this feature could be a game changer. I live in New York City, where I encounter a wide variety of spoken languages every day. The opportunity to not only understand what others are saying with my AirPods, but also hold an actual conversation with them via my iPhone sounds brilliant. What that experience will actually feel like is all up to the implementation details. But I have high hopes that Apple can make its live translation feature more seamless than any existing third-party solution. Live translation, for users in multilingual environments, will be yet another reason to keep wearing your AirPods—even when you’re not listening to anything. Do you expect to use iOS 19’s live translation feature with your AirPods? Let us know in the comments.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk's plundering of the federal government has been incredibly bad for business.The EV maker released its first-quarter earnings on Tuesday, reporting that its net income had cratered an astonishing 71 percent since the first quarter of last year. Total revenue is down nine percent, while sales have slid 13 percent between January and March compared to the same period last year.The devastating numbers are in large part due to Musk's personal behavior. He's been criticized for greatly tarnishing the carmaker's brand thanks to his extremist views and the catastrophic gutting of key government agencies with the assistance of his so-called Department of Government Efficiency.His actions have spawned an international anti-Musk movement, with protesters targeting hundreds of Tesla dealerships.The overwhelming negativity hasn't flown over Musk's head. With his carmaker going up in flames, the CEO desperately tried to justify his time away, while also admitting that he should be spending more of his time leading Tesla."As people know, there's been some blowback for the time I've been spending in government with the Department of Government Efficiency," Musk admitted during his opening statements on Tuesday's earnings call.Instead of owning up to his own actions, Musk continued to dig in his heels, arguing that the United States government was rife with "waste and fraud," despite DOGE finding astonishingly little evidence so far.During the call, the mercurial CEO argued that his gutting of the government was "critical work," because "if the ship of America goes down, we all go down with it, including Tesla and everyone else."He also tried to paint protesters at Tesla dealerships — in a bizarre and unsubstantiated conspiracy theory — as being paid operatives who are somehow "receiving the waste and fraud" from the government.However, Musk also made a market-shaking announcement: that his "time allocation to DOGE" will be reduced significantly, "starting probably next month."That's what investors have been begging him to do. Tesla's share price popped by more than eight percent on Wednesday, showing clear optimism for Musk's return after a prolonged — and ruinous — absence."Musk needs to leave the government, take a major step back on DOGE, and get back to being CEO of Tesla full-time," longtime Tesla bull and Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives argued in a Sunday note to clients. "Tesla is Musk and Musk is Tesla... and anyone that thinks the brand damage Musk has inflicted is not a real thing, spend some time speaking to car buyers in the US, Europe, and Asia."The carmaker seems to be painfully aware of its toxic CEO — as well as a rapidly changing political landscape, marked by president Donald Trump's trade war.In a letter to shareholders, Tesla said that Trump's tariff war and "changing political sentiment could have a meaningful impact on demand for our products in the near-term."Musk also admitted that "tariffs are still tough on a company when margins are still low.""But we do have localized supply chains in North America, Europe, and China," he added. "So that puts us in a stronger position than any of our competitors."However, Musk tried to actively distance himself from Trump, once his number one ally, arguing that the "decision is fundamentally up to" the president."So, you know, I'll continue to advocate for lower tariffs rather than higher tariffs," he argued, "but that's all I can do."Musk also tried to blame the company's abysmal Q1 numbers on the weather, arguing that the first quarter is "usually the worst quarter of the year, because people don't want to go buy a car in the middle of winter during the blizzard."On Tuesday's call, Musk made some characteristically ambitious promises about the carmaker's timelines, claiming that "we expect to have thousands of Optimus robots working in Tesla factories by the end of this year" and that the company would be "selling fully autonomous rides in June in Austin."Whether either of those prognostics will turn out to be true remains unclear at best.The company is still far from launching a Waymo-style, driverless taxi service. In November, Tesla applied for a transportation charter-party carrier permit (TCP), which is required to operate a ride-hailing service, as Reuters reported last month. However, the company still needs several other prerequisite permits to offer rides in fully autonomous vehicles.We also don't know how much progress Tesla has made on its "Cybercab" robotaxi. Musk is expected to provide an update later this year.The CEO — who has never been known for his public speaking skills — appeared to have quite a bit of trouble formulating the company's short-term vision during his opening remarks."I'd encourage people to look beyond like the, uh, some sort of bumps and potholes of the road immediately ahead of us," he told investors. "But left your gaze to the bright shining sort of down on the hill, I don't know, some Reagan-esque imagery.""And that's where we're headed and not too distant future," he added. "Like I said, kind of next year or two. So, let's see."The ball is now in Tesla's court, and considering Musk's extremely ambitious timelines, the company has its work cut out for it.Tesla's woes started well before Musk's time in the White House, experiencing a "nightmare" 2024, marked by falling delivery numbers and failing to meet investors' sky-high expectations.But the situation is markedly different in 2025. For one, Tesla will have some far stickier problems to deal with this time around, from a greatly tarnished brand to a surge in international competition that's starting to eat its lunch.More on Tesla: Tesla's Earnings Are Even More Brutal Than We ExpectedShare This Article

Priscilla Chan's tuition-free educational institution for low-income families, The Primary School, is shutting down operations after nearly 10 years — a move that comes amid anti-diversity rollbacks at her husband Mark Zuckerberg's Meta.In a statement on its website, the Primary School didn't indicate why it was closing its East Bay and East Palo Alto locations at the end of the 2025-2026 academic year and said only that it was a "very difficult decision" that came "after much deliberation."As Business Insider pointed out, however, the closure comes not only after cofounder Meredith Liu died in 2023, but also after Chan's husband — who is not involved directly with the school's operations — ended so-called diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs at his tech company and at their shared philanthropic venture.In February, The Guardian reported that the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, the couple's for-profit charity that funded the school, had informed employees that it was eliminating both internal and external DEI programs due to the "shifting regulatory and legal landscape" surrounding such efforts.That move, notably, came just a few weeks after the charity claimed it was not going to do away with its DEI programs in response to employees concerned that Meta's massive shift away from such measures just ahead of Donald Trump's second inauguration.Unlike Meta and the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, which are both for-profit entities that instituted (and subsequently cut) inclusion programs, the nonprofit Primary School was quite literally founded on DEI principles.In a description of its approach, the school notes that the children and families they serve, most of whom are low-income and Latino, "may be experiencing poverty, housing insecurity, racism, and other stressful and traumatic situations." Though that sort of language is par for the course in nonprofit world, it has been under attack in the Trump administration — not to mention the social networks Zuckerberg founded.Whatever her personal beliefs are, Chan's appearance with Zuckerberg at Trump's inauguration — and the swift changes and closures that have followed at her companies — make it pretty clear that the social justice values espoused by her tuition-free schools for low-income kids in the Bay Area matter less than the alliance her husband seeks with the president.Share This Article

Apr 23, 2025Ravie LakshmananCyber Espionage / Malware The Iran-nexus threat actor known as UNC2428 has been observed delivering a backdoor known as MURKYTOUR as part of a job-themed social engineering campaign aimed at Israel in October 2024. Google-owned Mandiant described UNC2428 as a threat actor aligned with Iran that engages in cyber espionage-related operations. The intrusion set is said to have distributed the malware through a "complex chain of deception techniques." "UNC2428's social engineering campaign targeted individuals while posing as a recruitment opportunity from Israeli defense contractor, Rafael," the company said in its annual M-Trends report for 2025. Individuals who expressed interest were redirected to a site that impersonated Rafael, from where they were asked to download a tool to assist with applying for the job. The tool ("RafaelConnect.exe") was an installer dubbed LONEFLEET that, once launched, presented a graphical user interface (GUI) to the victim in order to enter their personal information and submit their resume. Once submitted, the MURKYTOUR backdoor launched as a background process by means of a launcher referred to as LEAFPILE, granting the attackers persistent access to the compromised machine. "Iran-nexus threat actors incorporated graphical user interfaces (GUIs) to disguise malware execution and installation as legitimate applications or software," Mandiant said. "The addition of a GUI that presents the user with a typical installer and is configured to mimic the form and function of the lure used can reduce suspicions from targeted individuals." It's worth mentioning that the campaign overlaps with activity that the Israel National Cyber Directorate attributed to an Iranian threat actor named Black Shadow. Assessed to be operating on behalf of the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS), the hacking group is known for targeting a wide range of industry verticals in Israel, including academia, tourism, communications, finance, transportation, healthcare, government, and technology. Per Mandiant, UNC2428 is one of the many Iranian threat activity clusters that have trained their sights on Israel in 2024. One prominent group is Cyber Toufan, which targeted Israel-based users with the proprietary POKYBLIGHT wiper. UNC3313 is another Iran-nexus threat group that has conducted surveillance and strategic information-gathering operations via spear-phishing campaigns. UNC3313, first documented by the company in February 2022, is believed to be affiliated with MuddyWater. "The threat actor hosted malware on popular file-sharing services and embedded links within training- and webinar-themed phishing lures," Mandiant said. "In one such campaign, UNC3313 distributed the JELLYBEAN dropper and CANDYBOX backdoor to organizations and individuals targeted by their phishing operations." Attacks mounted by UNC3313 have leaned heavily on as many as nine different legitimate remote monitoring and management (RMM) tools, a signature tactic of the MuddyWater group, in an attempt to ward off detection efforts and provide persistent remote access. The threat intelligence firm also said it observed in July 2024 a suspected Iran-linked adversary distributing a backdoor codenamed CACTUSPAL by passing it off as an installer for the Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect remote access software. The installation wizard, upon launch, stealthily deploys the .NET backdoor that, in turn, verifies only one instance of the process is running before it communicates with an external command-and-control (C2) server. The use of RMM tools notwithstanding, Iranian threat actors like UNC1549 have also been observed taking steps to incorporate cloud infrastructure into their tradecraft so as to ensure that their actions blend in with services prevalent in enterprise environments. "In addition to techniques such as typosquatting and domain reuse, threat actors have found that hosting C2 nodes or payloads on cloud infrastructure and using cloud-native domains reduces the scrutiny that may be applied to their operations," Mandiant said. Any insight into the Iranian threat landscape is incomplete without APT42 (aka Charming Kitten), which is known for its elaborate social engineering and rapport-building efforts to harvest credentials and deliver bespoke malware for data exfiltration. The threat actor, per Mandiant, deployed fake login pages masquerading as Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo! as part of their credential harvesting campaigns, using Google Sites and Dropbox to direct targets to fake Google Meet landing pages or login pages. In all, the cybersecurity company said it identified more than 20 proprietary malware families – including droppers, downloaders, and backdoors – used by Iranian actors in campaigns in the Middle East in 2024. Two of the identified backdoors, DODGYLAFFA and SPAREPRIZE, have been employed by APT34 (aka OilRig) in attacks targeting Iraqi government entities. "As Iran-nexus threat actors continue to pursue cyber operations that align with the interests of the Iranian regime, they will alter their methodologies to adapt to the current security landscape," Mandiant said.

Multiple suspected Russia-linked threat actors are "aggressively" targeting individuals and organizations with ties to Ukraine and human rights with an aim to gain unauthorized access to Microsoft 365 accounts since early March 2025. The highly targeted social engineering operations, per Volexity, are a shift from previously documented attacks that leveraged a technique known as device code phishing to achieve the same goals, indicating that Russian adversaries are actively refining their tradecraft. "These recently observed attacks rely heavily on one-on-one interaction with a target, as the threat actor must both convince them to click a link and send back a Microsoft-generated code," security researchers Charlie Gardner, Josh Duke, Matthew Meltzer, Sean Koessel, Steven Adair, and Tom Lancaster said in an exhaustive analysis. At least two different threat clusters tracked as UTA0352 and UTA0355 are assessed to be behind the attacks, although the possibility that they could also be related to APT29, UTA0304, and UTA0307 hasn't been ruled out. The latest set of attacks is characterized by the use of a new technique that's aimed at abusing legitimate Microsoft OAuth 2.0 Authentication workflows. The threat actors impersonate officials from various European nations and have been found to take advantage of a compromised Ukrainian Government account at least in one case to trick victims into providing a Microsoft-generated OAuth code to take control of their accounts. Messaging apps such as Signal and WhatsApp are used to contact targets, inviting them to join a video call or register for private meetings with various national European political officials or for upcoming events centered around Ukraine. These efforts seek to dupe victims into clicking links hosted on Microsoft 365 infrastructure. "If the target responded to messages, the conversation would quickly progress towards actually scheduling an agreed-upon time for the meeting," Volexity said. "As the agreed meeting time approached, the purported European political official would make contact again and share instructions on how to join the meeting." The instructions take the form of a document, after which the supposed official sends a link to the target to join the meeting. These URLs all redirect to the official login portal for Microsoft 365. Specifically, the supplied links are designed to redirect to official Microsoft URLs and generate a Microsoft Authorization Token in the process, which would then appear as part of the URI or within the body of the redirect page. The attack subsequently seeks to trick the victim into sharing the code with the threat actors. This is achieved by redirecting the authenticated user to an in-browser version of Visual Studio Code at insiders.vscode[.]dev where the token is displayed to the user. Should the victim share the OAuth code, UTA0352 proceeds to generate an access token that ultimately allows access to the victim's M365 account. Volexity said it also observed an earlier iteration of the campaign that redirects users to the website "vscode-redirect.azurewebsites[.]net," which, in turn, redirects to the localhost IP address (127.0.0.1). "When this happens, instead of yielding a user interface with the Authorization Code, the code is only available in the URL," the researchers explained. "This yields a blank page when rendered in the user's browser. The attacker must request that the user share the URL from their browser in order for the attacker to obtain the code." Another social engineering attack identified in early April 2025 is said to have involved UTA0355 using an already compromised Ukrainian Government email account to send spear-phishing emails to targets, followed by sending messages on Signal and WhatsApp. These messages invited targets to join a video conference related to Ukraine's efforts regarding investing and prosecuting "atrocity crimes" and the country's collaboration with international partners. While the ultimate intention of the activity is the same as UTA0352, there is a crucial difference. The threat actors, like in the other instance, abuse the legitimate Microsoft 365 authentication API to gain access to the victim's email data. But the stolen OAuth authorization code is used to register a new device to the victim's Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) permanently. In the next phase, the attacker orchestrates a second round of social engineering in order to convince the targets to approve a two-factor authentication request and hijack the account. "In this interaction, UTA0355 requested that the victim approve a two-factor authentication (2FA) request to 'gain access to a SharePoint instance associated with the conference,'" Volexity said. "This was required to bypass additional security requirements, which were put in place by the victim's organization, in order to gain access to their email." To detect and mitigate these attacks, organizations are advised to audit newly registered devices, educate users about the risks associated with unsolicited contacts on messaging platforms, and implement conditional access policies that restrict access to organizational resources to only approved or managed devices. "These recent campaigns benefit from all user interactions taking place on Microsoft's official infrastructure; there is no attacker-hosted infrastructure used in these attacks," the company added. "Similarly, these attacks do not involve malicious or attacker-controlled OAuth applications for which the user must explicitly grant access (and thus could easily be blocked by organizations). The use of Microsoft first-party applications that already have consent granted has proven to make prevention and detection of this technique rather difficult." Found this article interesting?

From prospecting to proposals, you’ll own the sales cycle—and play a key role in growing our reach and deepening our purpose.What You’ll Do:Build authentic, lasting relationships with mission-driven organizations through proactive outreach, networking, and follow-ups.Own the full sales cycle: identify opportunities, lead discovery calls, deliver tailored presentations, and close contracts.Serve as the front line of screening and alignment to ensure prospective clients are a fit for our culture, capabilities, and cause.Collaborate with marketing and leadership to optimize our go-to-market strategies.Maintain up to date records in our CRM to ensure transparency, accuracy, and accountability across the sales pipeline.Contribute to internal knowledge sharing and continuously improve the sales process.Occasionally help support other team member sales conversations or initiatives and paperwork for new and existing clients.You’ll Succeed in This Role If You:Have at least 3+ years of experience selling digital services (websites, digital strategy, marketing, or related)—ideally within an agency.Have significant experience with WordPress.Are energized by people and love discovering what makes them (and their missions) tick.Can guide strategic conversations and clearly explain complex digital solutions to both executives and technical stakeholders.Are naturally proactive—spotting opportunities, solving problems, and taking initiative is your default mode.Communicate clearly and empathetically—whether by email, Zoom, or in a room full of execs.Are deeply organized, know your way around a CRM, and thrive when juggling multiple accounts and timelines.Bonus Points For:Experience selling in nonprofit, association, or purpose-driven industries.Familiarity with CRM platforms.Active participation in professional networks, councils, or mission-aligned communities.Culture Fit:This role is for someone who’s excited by the thrill of the chase and the meaning behind the mission.
