About the role
We're hiring an experienced cold
If this goes well, there's room to expand into managing outreach for a second, separate business (a marketing agency looking for its own clients) — so this can grow into an ongoing, multi-account role for the right person.
What you'll own
Lead research & sourcing
Deep research to identify independent retail stores (gift shops, outdoor/camping stores, lifestyle boutiques, homeware, etc. — you'll need to understand what kind of store actually stocks a product like Chillbeam's products and build the ICP yourself)
Sourcing across UK, US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand
Apollo access will be provided if you want to use it — or use your own tools/methods, your call, as long as the lead quality is there
Infrastructure setup (in SmartLead — account provided)
Buying/setting up sending domains and mailboxes at the volume needed to match lead count (within Smartlead)
Domain warm-up and deliverability setup
Building spintax and
Setting up AI-based personalisation at scale (on top of SmartLead's native personalisation)
Building sub-sequences and follow-up logic
Campaign management
Launching and monitoring campaigns in SmartLead
Tracking open/reply/positive-reply rates, bounce rates, and deliverability health
Diagnosing underperformance and making the calls on what to change — subject lines, sequence timing, targeting, infrastructure — without needing to be told
Ongoing reporting on results
What we provide
SmartLead account (fully set up, ready to use)
Apollo account access (optional, available if useful)
All
What you need to bring
Proven, hands-on experience running cold
Strong working knowledge of SmartLead specifically, or equivalent platforms (Instantly, Smartlead, Lemlist) with the ability to get up to speed on SmartLead fast
Experience building spintax, variations, and AI-personalized sequences
Experience with sub-sequences / multi-step follow-up logic
Comfort owning campaign performance — you diagnose problems and propose fixes, not wait for direction
Good written English (for reading replies, sorting leads, and reporting — not for writing the campaign copy itself)
Proof of experience required to apply
We will only consider applicants who can show real evidence of past cold
Screenshots or a case study of a past campaign you managed (open rates, reply rates, positive reply rates — anonymised is fine)
A brief description of the deliverability setup you used and why
Any client/employer references from cold
