About the RoleYou’ll build Kick’s outbound motion from the ground up. We’re building Kick’s outbound motion to be a case study in excellence for this function (Rippling, Ramp, etc.). That means building a revenue machine with a human touch that strengthens our customers’ Kick experience from the first touchpoint. As an applied AI company, our outbound should be at the frontier of how AI can improve the customer experience.
What You’ll Do
Own meetings booked with US accounting firms, across cold outbound and warm MQL follow-up
Build cold outbound from scratch: pick target firms, source and enrich lists with AI workflows, write sequences, and dial yourself alongside AEs, daily, until you know what lands
Work warm intent fast by running call sprints on new MQLs, webinar attendees and sign-ups who didn’t book, turning them into meetings within hoursEnsure campaigns are tied to clear buying signals and the messaging is sharp enough to strengthen Kick’s brand.
Build and run the outbound stack: domain warming, email and call sequences, lead routing and CRM hygiene, so reps can run signal-led campaigns tailored by account tier, buying signal, and problem hypothesis.
Build RevOps foundations by driving reporting on what’s working and not, with (i.E., show rate and conversion split by cold vs. warm, source, message and rep)
Get AEs outbound-ready with scripts, objection handling, and a weekly cadence that keeps the numbers visible
Partner with Growth on outbound plays that generate new MQLs
