- Experiment with messaging, outreach strategies, and new prospecting approaches to continuously improve conversion and pipeline generation.
- Use AI tools and technologies to improve prospect research, personalization, productivity, and outreach effectiveness.
- Maintain accurate prospect and activity information within CRM and other GTM systems.
- Share market feedback, customer insights, and objections with the broader GTM and Product teams.
- Help build and scale the outbound motion as CommerceIQ continues to bring innovative AI products to market.
What We're Looking For
- 1–3+ years of experience in Business Development, Sales Development, Inside Sales, or a related customer-facing role.
- Experience prospecting into mid-market and enterprise organizations is a plus.
- Strong interest in AI, technology, ecommerce, retail media, SaaS, or emerging technologies.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to create compelling, personalized outreach.
- Naturally curious with strong research and problem-solving skills.
- Comfortable engaging senior-level executives and business leaders.
- Highly motivated, resilient, and comfortable with ambiguity and a fast-moving environment.
- A strong sense of ownership and a willingness to experiment, learn, and improve quickly.
- Experience using sales and prospecting tools such as LinkedIn Sales Navigator, CRM platforms, sequencing tools, and AI-powered productivity tools is a plus.
- Ability to work collaboratively in an in-office, highly cross-functional environment in Mountain View, CA.
What Will Make You Stand Out
- Experience selling or prospecting into ecommerce, retail, CPG, retail media, or technology organizations.
- Experience working in a startup or high-growth environment.
- Demonstrated experience using AI tools to improve sales productivity, research, messaging, or prospecting.
- A builder mentality with the ability to thrive in a zero-to-one environment.
