Job description

Overview

Newform is a performance marketing agency that oversees ~100M/year in paid media spend for some of the fastest-growing tech and mobile brands. We help category disruptors scale paid social through a short-form, content-led approach.

Build and maintain prospect lists using tools like LinkedIn, Apollo, HubSpot
Support outbound outreach efforts (email, LinkedIn, and warm intros)
Help prepare pitch decks, proposals, and sales materials
Assist in tracking leads, pipeline status, and deal notes in CRM tools
Sit in on sales calls and client meetings to learn discovery, positioning, and closing
Support partnerships, referrals, and special growth initiatives as needed

Requirements

Strong written and verbal communication skills
Highly organized with strong attention to detail
Comfortable working with data, spreadsheets, and basic analysis
Curious about startups, marketing, sales, and entrepreneurship
Self-starter mindset: proactive, reliable, and eager to learn
(Preferred) Prior experience in sales, marketing, consulting, or startups
(Preferred) Familiarity with paid social, digital marketing, or creator-led brands
