• Personalize your interactions — leverage Muck Rack’s tools and prospect insights to make outreach timely, relevant, and informed from the first touch
• Prospect strategically — develop efficient, creative outreach systems tailored to target accounts, using our systems to identify patterns and prioritize who to contact and when

• Maintain clean CRM hygiene — keep lead records, activities, and reporting accurate and up to date in Salesforce
• Collaborate cross-functionally — partner closely with Account Executives and Marketing to align outreach efforts and drive pipeline growth
• Maintain consistent activity standards — execute against outreach expectations across segments while balancing quality personalization with high-volume prospecting

How success will be measured in this role
