– Maintain an organized pipeline of prospective leads and track outreach activity, follow-ups, and opportunities.

– Assist with outbound outreach through email, LinkedIn, phone, networking, and other approved channels.

– Qualify early-stage opportunities and schedule meetings for senior team members as appropriate.

– Participate in brainstorming, client research, pitch preparation, and proposal development.

– Monitor industry news, competitor activity, and relevant marketing trends to identify potential opportunities.

– Represent the company professionally at meetings, events, and networking opportunities.

Requirements

– Bachelor’s degree in marketing, business, communications, public relations, or a related field preferred; equivalent experience will be considered.

– 0–3 years of experience in business development, sales, marketing, communications, client services, or a related role.

– Strong written and verbal communication skills.

– Comfortable creating social media, email, and other short-form marketing content.

– Highly organized, proactive, and dependable, with strong follow-through.

– Comfortable speaking with new people and initiating professional conversations.

– Interest in marketing, brand strategy, advertising, and helping businesses grow.

– Familiarity with LinkedIn, social media platforms, CRM tools, or email marketing platforms.

– Ability to work collaboratively in an office-based, fast-moving environment.

Expectations for Success

– Produce regular, high-quality office-based content that supports brand visibility and lead generation.

– Build and maintain a consistent cadence of prospecting and follow-up activity.

– Keep lead records, outreach activity, and next steps accurate and up to date.

– Bring fresh ideas for content, outreach campaigns, and potential business opportunities.

– Develop a working understanding of our services, ideal clients, and market positioning.

– Meet agreed-upon activity goals, such as content output, prospect outreach, qualified leads, and meetings scheduled.
