What we look for
- AI fluency is non-negotiable. You use AI tools as part of your daily workflow as a multiplier.
- Strong preference for a built something where there wasnt anything background. Ideal profiles include program or GTM strategy at a hyper-growth company sales development / prospecting program ownership chief of staff at a growth-stage startup and former consultants with operational experience. We want people who thrive where the playbook didnt exist yet and built it.
- Exceptional attention to detail & data-integrity instinct. This role requires consistent high-quality operational delivery: accurate exec-facing work on-time delivery status integrity zero-defect output. You spot discrepancies trace them to root causes and wont ship a number you cant defend.

What this role isnt
- Not a pure strategy role. If you want to think but not execute this isnt the right role. The operational parts of the job cadences reporting governance arent optional.
- Not a maintain-the-current-model role. We need someone who will challenge how prospecting operates in the age of AI and rebuild it from first principles.
- Not a role for someone uncomfortable with volume ambiguity or pace. The program touches the entire sales-development org and the operating tempo reflects that.
