About the role

We're looking for a Outbound Sales Specialist to drive outbound pipeline for a fast-moving B2B sales intelligence platform. You will prospect into SMB and mid-market accounts, conduct outbound outreach via phone, email, and LinkedIn, qualify leads, and book meetings for the sales team. You will also use AI tools as a core part of your daily workflow to research accounts, personalize outreach, and move faster than a traditional SDR.
This is a high-activity, execution-driven role with a clear playbook and defined metrics. If you are a confident communicator with strong English skills, know how to run a structured outbound motion, and use AI to work smarter rather than harder, this role is a strong fit.
Why You'll Want to Join

You will be paid in USD (bi-monthly: every 15th and 30th)

Paid Time Off in accordance with company policy

Observance of Holidays per company guidelines

100% remote setup so you can work wherever you're most productive

This role requires availability during US business hours

Work at the front end of the pipeline for a B2B platform with strong case studies and real customer traction

High-ownership SDR role with direct impact on revenue and growth

What You'll Work On
Outbound Prospecting and Cold Outreach

Conduct high-volume outbound outreach via phone, email, and LinkedIn to target accounts

Research and qualify prospects using the platform's intelligence tools and AI-assisted research

Write clear, personalized cold outreach that generates responses without reading as spam

Handle objections confidently and keep conversations moving toward a booked meeting

Lead Qualification and Pipeline Management

Qualify inbound and outbound leads against defined ICP criteria

Maintain accurate and up-to-date records of all outreach and pipeline activity in the CRM

Track activity volume, response rates, and meeting conversion metrics consistently

AI-Enabled Outreach

Use AI tools such as Claude or ChatGPT daily to research accounts, draft personalized messaging, and improve outreach efficiency

Continuously test and refine messaging based on response data and feedback from the sales team

Stay current on AI tools that can improve prospecting speed and quality

Meeting Booking and Handoff

Book qualified meetings for the sales team with full context and qualification notes

Coordinate scheduling and follow-up to keep prospects engaged through the handoff

Ensure clean, accurate handoffs so the sales team walks into every call fully prepared

What You Bring

Prior SDR, outbound sales, or lead generation experience with a track record of booking meetings

Strong spoken and written English communication skills, this is a non-negotiable requirement for a phone and email-first role

Comfortable using AI tools such as Claude or ChatGPT as a daily part of your workflow for research, drafting, and outreach personalization

Experience with CRM platforms for logging activity and managing pipeline

Confident phone presence with the ability to handle objections and rejection without losing momentum

Self-directed and disciplined with the ability to hit daily activity targets independently

Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment with defined metrics and clear expectations

Nice to Have

Experience selling into SMB markets including verticals such as HVAC, dental, restaurants, or similar

Familiarity with sales intelligence or data enrichment platforms

Experience with sales engagement platforms such as Apollo, Outreach, Salesloft, or similar

Background in B2B SaaS or GTM-adjacent roles
