About the Opportunity

Working across Revenue Development, Sales, Marketing, and Revenue Operations, this individual will turn buying signals and account intelligence into automated workflows that improve prioritization, research, personalization, and pipeline generation.

-
Build, test, and refine AI prompts for research, messaging, personalization, and workflow automation.
-
Analyze engagement, conversion, pipeline, and productivity data to continuously improve workflows and prospecting strategies.
-
Identify manual or inefficient processes and determine where AI and automation can create meaningful seller capacity.
-
Partner with Sales, Marketing, Revenue Operations, and Revenue Development leadership to build scalable GTM solutions.
