Outreach & Messaging

• Craft compelling outreach messaging that explains the value of monetizing user-behavior data through compliant, privacy-preserving channels.
• Educate prospects on the benefits of entering data-partnership agreements (new revenue lines, passive monetization, industry contribution, etc.).

Booking & Handoffs

Collaboration & Strategy

• Partner closely with Partnerships leadership to refine ICP criteria, prospecting filters, and outreach strategy.
• Work with Product & Data teams to understand minimum technical requirements and communicate them accurately to prospects.
• Share market intelligence—publisher pain points, ecosystem trends, feedback—to inform product and acquisition strategy.

Qualifications
Required

• 1–3 years of experience in an outbound BDR/SDR role, ideally in B2B SaaS, MarTech, AdTech, or analytics.
• Strong understanding of the mobile app ecosystem, or demonstrable ability to learn quickly.

Who You Are
