Role Overview

Reporting to the Director of Global Sales, you’ll work closely with our global sales and marketing teams to identify and engage enterprise prospects. This hybrid role (minimum 2 days in-office) offers the chance to develop key accounts in high-growth markets and contribute directly to Appknox’s expansion. You will act as the first point of contact for potential customers, shaping Appknox’s reputation and laying the groundwork for future sales.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead Generation & Outreach: Actively prospect target accounts in the EU-IND region using cold calls, personalized emails and LinkedIn outreach. You’ll reach out to decision-makers, schedule meetings, and nurture interest through follow-ups.
• Qualify Prospects: Quickly assess inbound and outbound leads to determine fit. Identify business needs and pain points, and schedule demos or hand off qualified opportunities to Account Executives.
• Pipeline Management: Maintain accurate records of activities and leads in our CRM (e.g., Salesforce). Update customer profiles and track metrics regularly. Strive to meet and exceed weekly activity and pipeline targets.
• Market Research: Build and refine ideal customer profiles. Research industry trends, competitors, and region-specific insights (EU/IND), and use this data to tailor your messaging.
• Collaboration: Work closely with marketing and sales leadership to coordinate campaigns and share feedback from prospects. Collaborate with global SDRs and AEs to refine outreach strategies and messaging.
• Data-Driven Improvement: Analyze engagement metrics (email open rates, call conversions, etc.) and continuously optimize your approach. Demonstrated analytical thinking is expected to iterate on strategies and maximize results.

• Organized & Resilient: You can manage multiple leads and tasks, stay organized, and maintain persistence. Strong time management skills and a positive attitude keep you motivated through rejection or slow responses.
