• Partner with AEs on strategic accounts and account-based outreach

• Build repeatable outreach playbooks, messaging, and qualification criteria

• Use AI, product & intent signals with modern GTM tools to automate research, ICP and outreach

• Share customer insights with Product and Marketing to improve messaging and campaigns

WHO WOULD BE A GOOD FIT

In your first few months, you'll:

• Improve inbound conversion rates from product signups and demo requests

• Launch repeatable outbound campaigns for enterprise accounts with tangible results
