Cold call prospective clients and run highly personalized outreach campaigns.

-
Collaborate with talent and product teams to improve matching quality and overall marketplace liquidity.
What We're Looking For

1 to 2 or more years of experience in a client-facing, commercial, consulting, operations, or growth role.

Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with a strong instinct for persuasive and concise messaging.

Ability to build credibility and trust quickly with startup founders and senior leaders.
-
Comfortable picking up the phone, initiating cold conversations, and maintaining momentum through rejection.

Highly analytical and experimental mindset, comfortable designing tests and measuring results rigorously.
-
Able to move fluidly between strategy and hands-on execution without needing detailed direction.
-
Creates structure from ambiguity and solves unfamiliar problems independently.
-
