  • Proven track record of building lead pipelines and driving end-to-end partnerships with outcome ownership.

  • Strong understanding of hiring dynamics in US product companies and comfort navigating job requirements in tech domains.

  • Proficiency in using Apollo (preferred), LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Google Sheets, and CRM tools.

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills; confident in external stakeholder conversations.

  • High ownership mindset, strong execution capability, and comfort working in a fast-paced environment.
