  • Identify and qualify new sales opportunities through targeted outreach to scale-ups and enterprise companies
  • Conduct cold calls and discovery conversations with technical leaders, founders, and decision-makers
  • Qualify leads by understanding their pain points and connecting business challenges to Dust's value proposition
  • Nurture prospects until they're sales-ready, providing detailed context to Account Executives and Solution Engineers
  • Ensure smooth handoffs that convert to high-quality SQLs with clear next steps
  • Track and manage your pipeline in close partnership with the GTM team
