- Deliver compelling value pitches and spark interest in a deeper evaluation.
- Facilitate warm handoffs and calendar appointments for Sales Executives.

- Support 1:1 Account-Based Marketing efforts in key verticals.
- Work closely with Sales, Marketing, and Product to align messaging and go-to-market efforts.
- Execute digital outreach using tools like Pardot, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, HighSpot, and Quip.
- Stay up to date on industry trends, competitive solutions, and product updates.
- Consistent creation of Sales Accepted Opportunities (SAOs) and Sales Qualified Leads (SQLs).
- Strong conversion from outreach to scheduled meetings.
- Pipeline acceleration support through timely re-engagement and qualification.
- 2+ years of experience in software sales or sales development, preferably Hospitality and B2B SaaS.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills; confident, persuasive, and personable.
- Demonstrated ability to exceed goals in a fast-paced environment.
- Proficiency with Salesforce (e.g., Pardot, Salesloft).
- High attention to detail, organization, and follow-through.
- Experience in the hospitality, restaurant, or enterprise tech space is a strong plus.
- Bachelor's degree in business, marketing, or related field preferred.
- Resilient and self-motivated with a team-first attitude.
- Curious, coachable, and eager to grow in a sales or marketing career.
