  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, including effective cold emails, messages, and follow-ups.
  • Experience qualifying leads, identifying decision-makers, and iterating on outbound approaches based on results.
  • Strong ownership, organization, resilience, and resourcefulness in a fast-paced environment.
  • Legal technology, contract management, legal services, or building an outbound function from scratch is a plus.
  • Comfort working an exceptionally demanding schedule, including 12-hour-plus days and six-day workweeks.
