- Collaborate across teams: Work with Business Development, Marketing, Solutions Partners, and other colleagues to support prospect engagement and deal progression.
- Maintain accurate records: Keep CRM contacts, activities, and opportunity information current so the team can track progress and follow through.
- Deliver measurable results: Meet agreed outreach, qualified meeting, and pipeline contribution goals, using feedback and performance data to improve conversion.

- Demonstrated ability to seek and apply feedback, take ownership of performance, and improve your approach.
- Demonstrated ability to communicate clearly and persuasively, engage prospective clients, and ask questions that uncover business needs.
- Demonstrated ability to research companies, identify relevant decision-makers, and translate findings into targeted outreach.
- Demonstrated ability to prioritize competing tasks, maintain accurate records, and follow through on commitments.
- Demonstrated ability to work independently and collaborate across teams in a fast-moving environment.
- Ability to use CRM and sales tools to manage outreach and track results. Our team uses Salesforce, Unify, and Gong, and familiarity with any of these tools is a plus.
