About the role

In this role, you will have the opportunity to:

  • Build sales opportunities through outbound prospecting including outreach emails, calls, social connections, and networking.
  • Analyze and research accounts, focusing on qualification, key stakeholders, unique value propositions, and market timing.
  • Create new outbound cadences and scripts, testing messaging, and effectiveness.
  • Be the first impression of our team, articulating Wealthsimple's value proposition to potential prospects.
  • Manage early stage prospect opportunities ensuring follow ups and hand-offs are executed quickly and efficiently.

  • 2+ years of experience in sales or client facing role including outbound prospecting.
  • Experience using Salesforce in a B2B context including managing leads, contacts, accounts, and opportunities.
  • A track record of meeting or exceeding quotas or targets.
  • Experience using tools (or similar alternatives): Salesforce, Salesloft, LinkedIn Navigator, Zoominfo, Gong.io.
  • Resourcefulness: you should have a demonstrated track record of persevering in the face of adversity.
  • Flexibility: in a startup, priorities and direction can evolve quickly. You should have a positive can-do attitude and be adaptable to evolving business goals.
  • Goal-oriented: you should have experience (and be excited about!) working hard towards a goal.
  • Strong communication: you should be comfortable writing persuasively and communicating at all levels.
  • Self-starter: when you see a need, you address it.
  • Natural curiosity: you should be eager to understand our client’s needs and uncover the root of their problem.
  • Experience in a fast-pace start up or industries such as finance, HR tech, or benefits is a bonus!
