About Prox

AI product specialists for equipment manufacturers. Backed by Y Combinator.

About the role

Vertical GTM Systems. Source manufacturers, score accounts, identify buyer committees, understand the dealer/support/sales motion, and turn each vertical into a repeatable campaign. Warm Lead Conversion. Keep warm replies, intros, website leads, LinkedIn conversations, and customer referrals moving. Write the next email, define the next action, prep the demo, ask for the right docs, and make sure every promising account has an owner and a path forward.

What they're looking for

  • ⊹ technical enough to build -- you can work with APIs, scripts, CSVs, browser automation, agents, and messy data without waiting for an engineer to do everything for you
  • ⊹ commercial enough to care -- you understand that the point is revenue, demos, trials, usage, and customer trust
  • ⊹ strong writer -- you can write customer-specific outbound, follow-ups, LinkedIn hooks, account briefs, and internal notes that do not read like AI slop
  • ⊹ research obsessed -- you can find non-obvious directories, associations, event lists, buyer committees, dealer networks, forums, support pain, and vertical-specific context
  • ⊹ operationally intense -- you keep the CRM, campaign folders, next actions, and customer context clean even when everything is moving quickly
  • ⊹ customer-facing -- you can join calls, ask good questions, listen for real pain, and help the founders move a conversation forward
More about this role

⊹ You will turn Prox's GTM motion into an engineered system: find the right manufacturers, identify buyer committees, build high-context outbound, and convert warm customer signal into demos, trials, and deployed accounts.

⊹ This is not a classic marketer, AE, or RevOps-only role. You need to be technical enough to build systems, commercial enough to care about revenue, and operational enough to keep the pipeline clean without being reminded.

⊹ You will work directly with the founders across vertical research, LinkedIn signal, conference machinery, outbound infrastructure, Attio/CRM hygiene, customer briefs, demo follow-up, and deployment activation.

⊹ You should be very comfortable using agents like Claude Code and Codex, scraping and enrichment tools, spreadsheets, APIs, browser automation, and messy customer context.

⊹ Based in San Francisco. In person.

Manufacturers use Prox as a technical support and product sales tool across the surfaces where their customers and teams already work: dealer tablets, service-desk computers, sales laptops, websites, internal tools, support workflows, and agent/MCP-style connectors.
