• Capture market feedback from calls and outreach, and translate insights into improvements in targeting and positioning.
• Meet/exceed monthly and quarterly activity and pipeline goals.
• Perform all other duties as assigned.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Marketing, Communications, or a related field, or equivalent work experience.
• 1–3 years of experience in BDR/SDR, inside sales, recruiting, or consultative business development roles.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to engage professionally with business leaders.
• Demonstrated ability to manage high activity levels while staying organized and detail-oriented.
• Comfortable learning new industries, business models, and technical concepts quickly.
• Proficiency with CRM and sales engagement tools (e.g., HubSpot, Salesforce, Outreach, Salesloft, or similar).
• Self-starter mindset with strong follow-through and accountability.
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a team environment.

Preferred Skills:

• Experience selling or supporting professional services, technology consulting, analytics, or SaaS solutions.
• Familiarity with data/analytics/AI concepts and common business use cases.
• Experience with account-based outbound strategy in regional or mid-market segments.
• Comfortable speaking with operations, finance, and executive stakeholders.
• Experience supporting event-based prospecting and partner referral channels.
