About the Role

Build the outbound pipeline generation function from the ground up at an early-stage AI company developing enterprise Voice AI infrastructure.

What You'll Do

  • Research high-potential enterprise accounts and map stakeholders across AI, customer service, IT, product, engineering, and innovation teams.

  • Maintain accurate records and documented workflows in HubSpot.
  • Test messaging, channels, and sequences, then measure results and improve the outbound process.
  • Help hire, onboard, and develop future business development team members as the team grows.

  • Hands-on outbound or sales experience beyond internships or venture development rotations, including personalized outreach across phone, LinkedIn, and email.
  • Experience using a CRM such as HubSpot.
  • Technical curiosity and the ability to understand and communicate about Voice AI and API-based products.
  • Confidence speaking with senior enterprise buyers, a persistent approach to outreach, and strong account research and organizational skills.
  • Experience with voice AI, text-to-speech, developer tools, enterprise sales, or trade fair prospecting is useful. Prior BDR/SDR experience is welcome but not required.
