    • Research accounts, industries, market signals, and decision-makers before you reach out. 
    • Prospect by phone, email, LinkedIn, marketing programs, and events. 
    • Engage project managers, operational leaders, and executives with relevance. 
    • Ask questions that surface priorities, stakeholders, timing, and fit. 
    • Turn research and inbound interest into qualified meetings. 
    • Flag qualification gaps and account risks early, before the team invests time. 
     
    Nurture and Develop Accounts 
    • Follow up on time and with relevance across long buying cycles. 
    • Use customer stories, industry insight, and events as reasons to re-engage. 
    • Build relationships across multiple contacts and buying roles. 
    • Partner with Account Executives on account strategy and risk. 
    • Make clean handoffs, then stay accountable for follow-through.

    • Learn how your inputs drive results, then use the data to adjust. 
    • Manage high volume without losing the details. 
    • Keep activity, qualification, and next steps current in Salesforce. 
    • Own your territory and your results. 
     
    Learn and Improve 
    • Learn Kahua's platform, customers, and the problems our software solves. 
    • Get up to speed fast on new markets and buyer personas. 
    • Listen to calls, seek feedback, apply coaching, show improvement.

    • Share what works, what you see in the market, and what you learn.

    What Success Looks Like
     
    Success in this role is measured by execution and outcomes:
    • Consistent, disciplined prospecting activity.
    • Growth in relevant conversations and executive engagement.
    • Meetings that hold, opportunities that advance, and pipeline the sales team can forecast.
    • Conversion rates that improve as your knowledge and skill grow.
    • Accurate Salesforce records and dependable follow-through.
    • Increasing ownership of your accounts, your priorities, and your results.
    • Demonstrated improvement in skills, execution, and results over time, including effective use of coaching and feedback.
    Who We Are Looking For 
     
    We are looking for people who: 
    • Pursue goals with persistence; adapt and adjust when results are mixed.
    • Are highly coachable and put feedback into practice.
    • Learn fast and ask thoughtful questions.
    • Think analytically and use data to make better decisions. 
    • Communicate clearly in writing and in conversation. 
    • Build rapport, handle objections, and engage decision-makers. 
    • Take ownership and follow through on commitments. 
    • Adopt new tools and put them to work.
    • Operate with honesty and integrity. 
    • Make the people around them better. 
    Experience We Value 
     
    Relevant experience may include: 
    • Sales development, business development, inside sales, or another quota-carrying environment.
    • Customer-facing work requiring communication, objection handling, relationship building, and timely follow-up.
    • Relevant experience may include customer-facing work, athletics, military service, leadership, operations, entrepreneurship, or other environments requiring preparation, persistence, communication, and measurable performance. Roles where you can point to quantified results: rankings, revenue contribution, growth, productivity gains, or other outcomes.
    Experience in B2B SaaS, enterprise software, construction technology, or other complex enterprise sales helps, but it is not the only path to success.
     
    Experience with Salesforce or another CRM platform and modern prospecting tools is preferred, though your ability and willingness to learn new technology quickly matters more.
     
    A bachelor's degree or equivalent professional experience is welcome. We are most interested in what you have demonstrated, how you have improved, and what you can accomplish next.
