* Outbound prospecting experience, with evidence of building pipeline and a hunter mindset through work, internships, campus sales, SDR experience, or self-directed outreach.

* Experience at a startup or small business, or the ability to operate with limited infrastructure and ambiguity.

* Strong communication and problem-solving skills; interest in HR, finance, or AI is valuable.

* Authorized to work in the United States without visa sponsorship.
