Responsibilities
Mapping and Reaching the Right People
Research the landscape: workforce development boards, city council members, county executives, state legislators, corrections commissioners, probation chiefs
Build outreach infrastructure that gets responses from people who ignore 99% of their inbox
Track signals that indicate opportunity — leadership transitions, new federal funding announcements, budget cycles, policy shifts, election results that change priorities
Draft outreach that's genuinely personalized — not 'I saw your LinkedIn post' personalized, but 'your county just received $2M in DOL reentry funding and here's why that matters' personalized
Building the Machine — and Being Your Own First User
When we close a contract in NYC, you should be able to quickly identify and score similar opportunities in NJ, CT, PA and spin up outreach targeting the equivalent decision-makers
Build plays that run automatically where possible — signal detected → research pulled → draft written → pushed to the right person on our team
Build rep feeds for high-value opportunities that need a human touch — you surface the opportunity, draft the outreach, but the AE or a cofounder takes it the last mile
Maintain a living map of our pipeline landscape: who we're targeting, what stage they're in, what's working, what's not
