- Work HubSpot religiously – stages, notes, next steps, on time, every time
- Coordinate with our Executive Engagement Specialist on appointment setting, follow-up, and event-based outreach
- Target ICP: mid-market, 500 – 5,000 employees, fintech / healthcare / SaaS / utilities
- Own outbound prospecting – LinkedIn, email, events, executive dinners with C-suite. Whatever it takes to build pipeline from cold.

- Outcome-driven, We don’t chase activity metrics. We chase closed revenue.

- Someone who tracks calls made instead of pipeline created
How We Hire
We do not hire on resume and vibe. We hire on evidence of the right who. The process surfaces ownership, depth, and culture fit not polish.
Our Culture
See it. Own it. Solve it.
That’s how we operate – in every role, on every engagement, every day. Six principles. No exceptions.
Culture is King – “You get what you tolerate.”
Care for Each Other
You are joining a team. You make people around you better, not just yourself.
Pride in the Work
Every proposal, every client interaction, every deliverable – Wow Factor standard. Not good enough.
Who, Not How
You are the who for this role. You already know how. We are not hiring someone to figure it out.
What, Why, When Before How
You diagnose before you prescribe. Never jump to solution before you understand the problem.
10x Mindset
Not here to be slightly better than the competition. An order of magnitude better.
Uniqueability
You bring something no one else on this team brings. You know what it is and you deploy it deliberately.
