  • Leverage marketing-generated content and tools to enhance outreach.
  • Inbound Lead Engagement & Qualification: Act as the first point of contact for inbound leads generated through marketing initiatives (webinars, guides, website forms, etc.). Conduct discovery calls to assess fit, build interest, and advance prospects through the funnel.
  • Lead Nurturing & Pipeline Management: Qualify leads through thoughtful discovery and needs analysis. Manage and prioritize both inbound and outbound leads, ensuring timely follow-up and consistent movement through the sales funnel.
  • Collaboration with Sales & Marketing: Partner with Marketing to align on campaign messaging, target segments, and performance feedback. Work closely with Account Executives to ensure smooth handoffs of qualified opportunities and share insights that inform ongoing go-to-market strategies.

  • Proficient in CRM software and Google Suite.
  • Demonstrated ability to work collaboratively and foster a team-oriented environment.
  • Strong analytical skills.
