Direct Agents • Austin, TX

About The Position

We’re an independent, AI-powered growth partner to brands like Marvel, Tennis Channel, NYSE, Morgan Stanley, and DistroKid. Our pipeline doesn’t build itself — and we need a sharp, hungry hunter who can find the right doors, open them, and hand off a qualified opportunity. This is a role for someone who’s already proven they can prospect and self-generate pipeline, and is ready to own more. You’ll work directly with senior BD and the partners, learn the full deal cycle, and grow fast in an environment that rewards it.

Requirements

• 2–4 years in a BD, sales, or growth role — agency, SaaS, or services preferred
• You’ve sourced your own pipeline before. You don’t wait to be handed leads.
• Strong written communicator — your cold emails get replies
• Comfortable with rejection, fast to iterate, allergic to excuses
• Curious about digital marketing, performance media, and AI-driven growth — you don’t need to be an expert, but you need to want to be
• Organized, self-directed, and honest about where your deals stand

Responsibilities

• Top-of-funnel pipeline generation: research, prospecting, cold outreach across email, LinkedIn, and events
• Qualifying inbound and outbound leads and booking discovery calls for senior BD
• Independently owning and closing smaller engagements as you develop
• Building and maintaining CRM hygiene — your pipeline is your product
• Learning to pitch and position our solutions across B2B Tech & SaaS, Media & Entertainment, and Ecommerce
• Contributing to outreach strategy, messaging testing, and target account research

Benefits

• Regular performance reviews with quarterly growth path check-ins
• Comprehensive health, dental, vision, and mental health benefits (One Medical, Talkspace, KindBody, Health Advocate)
• 15–24 days PTO/year depending on seniority, plus birthday off, 7 sick/safe days, and up to 12 weeks paid parental leave
• New MacBook Pro and access to cutting-edge AI tools across the agency
• Dog-friendly office, regular team events, and a culture built around ownership and ambition
