Full Job Description
Description

Why this role exists

Almost every company that takes a first meeting with us likes what we offer. Our challenge is simple: we need more first meetings with the right companies. That is your job. This is a pure "hunter" role - 100% focused on new business. You will not manage existing accounts or campaigns.

Job Requirements:

  • Research target industries and companies together with our growth team and a dedicated researcher; identify the right decision-makers.
  • Run creative, multi-channel cold outreach: email, LinkedIn, phone calls, and non-standard touches. Build smart sequences (7+ touchpoints), not email blasts.
  • Book meetings with the right size of companies - quality over quantity. Example: from 7 target companies in an industry, we expect at least half on a call.
  • Attend 4-6 industry conferences per year: network, learn the market, bring back insights and ideas.
  • Spend your first 2-3 months learning our value proposition and messaging; work with a ready playbook of what works and what doesn't.
  • Share feedback with our launch and CRO teams; keep your pipeline and CRM data clean and up to date.


How we measure success:

  • Meetings booked per month and quarter with the right companies (~25% of the weight).
  • How many of those meetings are strong enough to enter our test calendar (~75% of the weight).

Requirements

Must have:

  • 5-7+ years in business development / client acquisition with heavy cold outreach (any industry, not only marketing).
  • A book of business you built from scratch - and real numbers to show: open rates, reply rates, booked meetings.
  • Expert level in LinkedIn Sales Navigator.
  • Hands-on daily experience with a sales CRM / outreach platform (Apollo, Outreach, Salesloft, HubSpot, Salesforce, or similar).
  • Multi-channel prospecting: you don't stop at one email and one call - you use sequences, creativity, and persistence.
  • Mature, strategic, process-driven mindset; excellent written and spoken communication.
  • Based in the US or Canada, able to work EST hours and travel to conferences.


Nice to have:

  • Experience with Apollo, ClickUp, or Tableau.
  • Experience in insurance, senior care, healthcare, wellness or beauty industries.
  • Confident conference networking experience.


Why join us:

  • A key hire in a new, growing department - you will shape how new business is done here.
  • Real support: a dedicated researcher, modern tools (Apollo, ClickUp, Tableau), and a playbook - you focus on outreach, not admin.
  • A small, senior team that has worked together for years, with direct access to company leaders.


Why do we deserve your attention?

Medical Coverage

We support you and your family with reimbursement for medical insurance and health-related expenses, including dental care and psychological support.
