• Become a Prospecting Expert: You will proactively engage target decision-makers using a multi-channel approach, including strategic emails, phone calls, video messaging, and LinkedIn
• Master the 'First Conversation': You will be the first human touchpoint for our future customers. You'll conduct high-level qualification calls to understand their sustainability challenges, timelines, and decision-making processes
• Book Qualified Meetings: Your primary goal is to book high-quality discovery calls and product demos for our Account Executives. Your success is measured by the number of qualified opportunities you generate

• First Commercial Experience: You've had a taste of a client-facing or commercial role. This could be an internship or job in sales, business development, customer success, high-end retail, or even competitive hospitality

• A Genuine Passion for Our Mission: You are truly interested in sustainability, climate tech, and helping global brands make a real-world impact
• CRM Proficiency: You have hands-on, daily experience working with a modern CRM (like HubSpot or Salesforce) to manage leads, track activities, and build pipelines
