Qualification
Required
A Relentless Prospector: You live for outbound activity. If picking up the phone doesn't excite you, stop reading—seriously. You thrive on uncovering new contacts, opening doors, and turning cold outreach into warm opportunities. Rejection doesn't rattle you; it fuels you, because you know the right connection can change everything
A Sharp Negotiator: You read the room, understand leverage, and navigate vendor discussions with confidence. You align every agreement with our values, our strategy, and our commitment to doing right by our partners
A Growth-Minded Operator: You bring order to chaos. Processes, systems, and efficiency are your playground. You look at every task and ask, 'How can this be smarter, faster, or better?' Your drive and discipline elevate our outreach engine and keep it running at full speed
A Relationship-Builder at the Core: You lead with empathy. You connect quickly, listen deeply, and understand what vendors truly need. You build trust, foster collaboration, and create long-term partnerships that deliver value for everyone involved
