Develop industry- and persona-specific prospecting strategies and multi-touch cold email sequences using Instantly.
Set up, launch, schedule, and manage campaigns, including account assignments, audience segmentation, A/B testing, and ongoing optimization.
Coordinate campaign messaging with the Content Manager and align prospect targeting with the Sales Manager.
Use Seamless AI or equivalent tools to identify relevant decision-makers and source B2B contacts that match the ideal customer profile.
Validate, clean, and deduplicate prospect lists while maintaining accurate exclusion lists and opt-out records.
Document lead sources, audience segments, campaign cohorts, and contact data quality.

Prepare weekly performance reports, monitor campaign KPIs, and maintain standard operating procedures for repeatable execution.
Train internal team members on campaign processes and effective execution practices.
Evaluate campaign success based on lead quality, qualified meetings, deliverability, CRM accuracy, and documented processes rather than sending volume alone.
At least 3 years of demonstrable experience managing B2B outbound cold email campaigns, preferably targeting U.S. businesses.

Experience with lead generation, prospect research, list segmentation, data validation, and deduplication.
Strong analytical and reporting skills, with the ability to monitor campaign performance and translate data into actionable improvements.
Excellent documentation, organizational, and independent project management skills.
Preferred: Experience in U.S. accounting, tax, finance, or professional services markets.
