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.
