You're a technical, systems-oriented, and energetic operator who's excited to join a fast-growing, early-stage startup in a career-defining role. You're willing to roll up your sleeves – no task is too small when it helps move the company forward.

Prior experience in technical sales, data engineering, or growth/marketing operations is a plus. Background Listen Labs is an AI-powered research platform that helps teams uncover insights from customer interviews in hours — not months. We help customers analyze conversations, surface themes, and make faster, smarter product decisions. Company highlights — entirely product-led: World-Class Team: Founded by serial entrepreneurs (previous AI exit), former co-founders, and talent from Jane Street, Twitter, Stripe, Aff...

Performance analytics: Track, analyze, and report on outbound metrics – from reply rates to pipeline contribution – and drive continuous improvement through experimentation and iteration. Cross-functional alignment: Work with Heads of Growth, Sales, Product, and Engineering to ensure outbound systems integrate seamlessly with broader GTM strategy and product capabilities. Who You Are You're a tooling expert, opinionated about best-in-class GTM tech stacks and experienced in evaluating, implementing, and optimizing tools that drive outbound performance at scale. You're hands‑on and resourceful, comfortable shifting between high‑level strategy and execution, from designing data models to writing SQL queries or automation scripts yourself. You're highly analytical and creative, able to blend technical problem‑solving with strategic thinking about go-to-market efficiency and scale. You care deeply about craft and impact, not just output. You take pride in doing great work, even on small details. You're curious and collaborative, eager to learn from teammates across functions and energized by talking to SDRs and sales reps to understand their workflows and build systems that drive results.
