As success with prospecting allows, this role is slated to transition into a Business Development Executive role.

We have a fantastic team of seasoned project managers and developers already in place; all we're missing is you: a driven business development representative excited to take your career and our outreach approach to the next level. You'll be focused on developing our next vertical as we continue to expand our offerings and services.
You'll work closely with our marketing team, business development executives, and VP of Strategic Growth, using your past experiences to:
- Create outreach sequence cadences and messaging in HubSpot CRM
- Research and build lists of target accounts aligning with Adage's offerings, particularly in the manufacturing industry
