Our mission is to ensure every item produced lives its longest life possible. 🔭 About the roleWe're looking for a Business Development Growth Lead — a player-coach who will both personally drive meaningful new pipeline and level up how our entire outbound engine runs. This is a rare blend of individual contribution, people leadership, and process innovation, and it's one of the highest-leverage roles on our go-to-market team. You'll carry a personal pipeline target and begin by managing one direct report (a BDR). Together, the two of you will own our top-of-funnel strategy and goals.

The goal isn't just efficiency — it's leverage. You'll architect AI-driven workflows so that you and one entry-level BDR can mimic the quality and volume of a 3+ person BDR team, without sacrificing the personalization and craft that make outreach convert.</li><li>Own the tooling and data. Maintain CRM hygiene, track KPIs, and get the most out of our sales stack (HubSpot, Apollo, and the AI tools you'll help us adopt).</li><li>Partner cross-functionally. Work closely with the VP of Sales, Account Executives, Marketing Org, Operations, and C-Suite to refine the end-to-end sales process and share what's working across the team.</li><li>Partner with Operations on data, scoring, and data hygiene.
