## 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
