• Find a way in when there is no obvious path, navigating gatekeepers and turning rejections into opportunities.
• Track what target guests are doing such as launches, raises, press, and conference appearances to time your outreach for maximum impact.
• Deploy creative, memorable, and unconventional outreach methods to secure replies from high-profile individuals.
• Manage your own outreach pipeline and reporting systems to ensure zero drop-off in communication.

Qualifications

• Ideally possesses direct guest booking experience for TV, news, media, or podcasts.
• Background in Go-To-Market (GTM) strategies, sales development (SDR), media, or business environments.
• Relentlessly resourceful and fully self-managing with a proven ability to deliver results independently.
• Dynamic, social, and genuinely energized by the chase of pitching and connecting with hard-to-reach individuals.
• Confident problem solver with the certainty that you will do whatever it takes to achieve the desired outcome.
• Excellent written and verbal English communication skills.
