Responsibilities
Own the Outbound Engine
- Build and operate outbound motion from scratch: ICP lists, sequencing, messaging, and iteration.
- Use AI tools heavily to scale: automated research, personalized outreach at volume, signal-based prospecting.
- Manage pipeline cadence and be present in early sales conversations alongside the CEO, eventually running discovery calls independently.
- Shift to strategy, relationships, and closing as AI agents handle repetitive tasks.
Build RevOps Infrastructure
- Set up and own CRM: data model, pipeline stages, and reporting.
- Establish lightweight processes for outreach, follow-up, and handoff.
Co-Create Content That Opens Doors
- Partner with CEO on content: case studies, one-pagers, email sequences, LinkedIn.
- Shape and pressure-test messaging tailored to different audiences (e.g., VP of Tax, CFO).
GTM Partner to the CEO
- Report directly to CEO with real-time collaboration on strategy, sequencing, and positioning.
Requirements
- Experience in outbound B2B sales or business development; know what makes a cold email reply.
- Genuinely AI-native: built workflows using LLMs or automation tools (demonstrable).
- Operated without a playbook at a small company.
- Strong person-to-person writing that shows understanding of executive problems.
Nice-to-Haves
- Exposure to cleantech, energy, construction, or regulated industries.
- Comfortable with tools like HubSpot, Apollo, Clay, or AI-native equivalents.
- Preference for onsite in Santa Monica, CA (remote considered).
