- Conduct A/B testing and continuously optimise campaigns based on open, reply and conversion data
- Identify positive replies and qualified opportunities and pass them to the relevant sales or operations team
- Track campaign performance and maintain accurate reporting on prospects contacted, replies, qualified leads and conversions
- Research new prospecting tools, data sources and outbound strategies that can improve campaign performance
- Troubleshoot deliverability, data quality and campaign performance issues independently

Requirements
- Hands-on experience with B2B cold email lead generation
- Strong understanding of the cold email workflow, including prospecting, list building, email verification, sequencing and follow-ups
- Experience using cold email and prospecting software such as Instantly, Smartlead, Apollo, Clay, Lemlist, Sales Navigator or similar tools
- Understanding of email deliverability fundamentals, including SPF, DKIM, DMARC, domain reputation, inbox warm-up and bounce management
-Comfortable working with prospect databases, spreadsheets and large datasets
- Able to write clear, concise and persuasive B2B cold email copy
- Analytical mindset with the ability to interpret campaign metrics and improve performance based on data
- Proactive and resourceful, with the ability to research solutions and solve problems independently
- Strong attention to detail, particularly when managing prospect data and multiple campaigns
- Able to manage multiple campaigns, inboxes and prospect segments simultaneously
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced startup environment where processes and priorities may change
- Strong written English
