Manage inbound requests through chat and email
Manage outreach sequences and automations (HubSpot, Clay, Reply.io, n8n)
Re-engage existing sign-ups and subscribers; identify high-value users
Track CRM, pipeline metrics, and weekly reporting
Attend events to generate pipeline and establish key relationships

What You Bring

Combined 1-2 years experience in Sales, Developer Relations, or Entrepreneurship
Comfortable engaging technical audiences (developers, founders, researchers)
AI power user
Excellent written and verbal communication in english — concise, credible, human
Entrepreneurial and self-driven — you operate independently and get things done
