  • Book qualified meetings for the sales team with full context and qualification notes
  • Coordinate scheduling and follow-up to keep prospects engaged through the handoff
  • Ensure clean, accurate handoffs so the sales team walks into every call fully prepared

What You Bring* Prior SDR, outbound sales, or lead generation experience with a track record of booking meetings

  • Strong spoken and written English communication skills, this is a non-negotiable requirement for a phone and email-first role
  • Comfortable using AI tools such as Claude or ChatGPT as a daily part of your workflow for research, drafting, and outreach personalization
  • Experience with CRM platforms for logging activity and managing pipeline
  • Confident phone presence with the ability to handle objections and rejection without losing momentum
  • Self-directed and disciplined with the ability to hit daily activity targets independently
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment with defined metrics and clear expectations

  • Familiarity with sales intelligence or data enrichment platforms
