This is not a closing role. Your primary objective will be to create qualified opportunities by identifying the right organizations, starting conversations, building relationships, and scheduling meetings for TechCompass leadership.

You'll work directly with our founder and leadership team and have the opportunity to help shape how we approach outbound business development as the company grows.

Key measures will include:

• Consistent outbound activity and follow-up
• Growth of the prospective partner pipeline
• Sourced opportunities and revenue influenced through partner relationships

What We're Looking For

• 2–4 years of experience in business development, sales development, recruiting, staffing, outbound sales, or another relationship-driven role.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Confidence reaching out to new contacts through phone, email, LinkedIn, and in-person networking.
• Natural relationship-building skills and the ability to create rapport quickly.
• Strong organization, follow-through, and time-management skills.
• Self-motivated and comfortable taking ownership of your activity and results.
• Comfortable working in a growing environment where processes will continue to evolve.
• Experience with CRM platforms such as HubSpot or Salesforce is preferred.
• Experience with MSPs, SaaS, IT services, cybersecurity, professional services, or channel sales is a plus, but not required.
• Based in or able to commute regularly to Alpharetta, Georgia.
