Marketing
Full time

About allintalent

allintalent is the recruitment venture of WebLife Labs, the innovation arm of WebLife Stores LLC, an eCommerce Management & Operations company founded in 2008. With over $250M in all-time revenue and as the largest distributor of mailboxes in the U.S., WebLife brings more than 16 years of operational excellence in building and scaling eCommerce businesses.

allintalent is the only recruitment firm exclusively focused on making small businesses AI-ready. We serve the overlooked middle market — companies that need AI and automation talent but cannot afford traditional enterprise recruiting fees. We don't just fill roles; we help businesses adopt AI from the ground up through a network of pre-vetted automation engineers, ML specialists, and AI implementation experts.

About the Role

This is a founding track with a real path to leadership. You report directly to the Head of Sales. As the function grows, your role grows with it — from managing a handful of reps to owning the full BDR function. You are not running one lane forever. You are building something.

Leadership starts with proving the motion yourself. For approximately the first 4–6 months, you'll be on the phone every day, selling into the US market and consistently generating results. Once you've proven the playbook, you'll transition into hiring, coaching, and leading the BDRs who join your team. This isn't a management role from day one, and it isn't for someone looking to skip the phone. For the right person, it's the fastest path from top-performing BDR to building and leading a high-performing BDR team.

The role exists because of a structural inefficiency in how small businesses access AI talent — enterprise recruiters ignore them, generalist agencies don't understand technical requirements, and Silicon Valley compensation is unrealistic. You are the person who builds the system that fixes that, and then builds the team that runs it.

You are not starting from zero. You inherit a Sales OS that already exists — the playbook, the scripts, the cadences, the CRM structure, the target lists — and you sharpen it as you dial from day one. The work is yours to own immediately. Authority over the people who run it follows once you've proven the motion.

Key Responsibilities

Building the Function

  • Own and refine the outbound playbook: scripts, sequencing, qualification criteria, and CRM structure
  • Hire, onboard, and manage BDRs once you've proven the motion and hit the qualification bar above

Pipeline Development

  • Work from and continuously expand a dynamic list of 400+ companies actively hiring AI and automation talent, scaling to 1,500+ as the function matures
  • Qualify prospects against our ICP: 10–100 employees | $2M–$50M ARR | United States
  • Use AI-powered enrichment workflows to identify intent signals and prioritize outreach

Outbound Execution

  • Run outbound across phone, email, LinkedIn, and video
  • Lead consultative outreach focused on diagnosing problems, not pitching
  • Engage decision-makers including Founders, CEOs, CTOs, Operations Directors, and Growth Leads

Qualified Discovery Calls

  • Book and run discovery calls that meet strict qualification standards

Process & Optimization

  • Run weekly pipeline reviews analyzing response rates, conversions, and objections
  • Test new outbound approaches, document results, and share learnings across the team you build
  • Maintain disciplined CRM hygiene in ClickUp

Requirements

Non-Negotiable

  • 4–5+ years of B2B outbound sales experience with full-cycle ownership
  • Experience managing or building a sales/BDR team
  • Full overlap with US business hours
  • Native-level English proficiency for outbound and client communication
  • Proven quota attainment in a consultative sales environment
  • Willingness to be on the phone daily through the first phase of this role

Technical Competencies

  • Strong use of AI-assisted workflows with ChatGPT, Claude, or equivalent tools
  • Experience with outbound enrichment tools such as Apollo
  • CRM management with disciplined pipeline tracking
  • Video-based outreach using Loom

Strong Differentiators

  • Background in SaaS, recruitment, or tech services
  • Experience building a BDR team from zero
  • Selling to small business owners, operators, or technical founders
  • AI-native work habits — uses AI tools proactively without prompting
  • Has independently built prospecting systems (scrapers, enrichment flows, outreach automation)

Why This Seat

Most sales roles at this level hand you a number and a leaderboard. This one hands you the system. You build the motion, you write what every future hire runs on, and you hire the team that runs it. If you want to be measured on what you build rather than ranked against the person next to you, this is that seat.

What We Offer

  • Base of $2,000–$2,500/month depending on experience — your floor, not your target
  • Uncapped commission on everything you close, with accelerators and quarterly performance bonuses
  • Full compensation and quota structure walked through on our first call
  • Real ownership: you shape the scripts, CRM flow, and playbook every future hire runs on
  • A written promotion trigger to Sales Lead, documented in this JD and in your offer letter
  • Fully remote, work-from-home, global team

Join allintalent as our first Founding Account Executive and build the sales function from the ground up, where precision, technology, and ownership converge.
