JOB OVERVIEW

Join a US-based recruiting practice focused on accounting and finance placements as a resourceful Business Dev and Lead Gen Specialist. This goes beyond a typical VA role.

Your day-to-day will include:

Digging into companies with potential accounting/finance hiring needs
Pinpointing key decision-makers (CFOs, Controllers, HR leaders, CEOs, PE execs)
Catching buying signals such as leadership turnover, PE acquisitions, M&A activity, and growth
Leveraging AI tools to accelerate research, targeting, and outreach prep
Writing personalized outreach emails and LinkedIn messages for review
Keeping a clean, organized prospect and outreach tracker
Researching and recommending the right prospecting/data platforms

You're a strong fit if you have:

3-5 years of experience in business development, lead generation, or related research/sales support
Strong written English
Sharp internet research skills
Daily comfort using AI tools like ChatGPT
A self-starter mindset, able to run with minimal daily direction
Availability for 35-40 hrs/week

Schedule: Full-time, EST business hours
Work setup: Remote, reliable internet required

To apply: Send a link to your resume along with a 30 second voice recording introducing yourself.
