WHAT YOU’LL DO:

Architect AI-Powered Demand Generation Systems

  • Design and implement signal-based automation workflows using Clay, Claude, and Jasper that identify buying signals beyond traditional intent data (hiring patterns, tech stack changes, regulatory triggers, executive movements)
  • Build automated enrichment and research systems that surface insights competitors aren't tracking, creating "GTM alpha" through unique signal discovery
  • Create dynamic segmentation models that adapt based on real-time signals rather than static demographic criteria

  • Use AI to analyze engagement patterns and predict next-best actions for prospects at scale
