About Salience

Salience is an independently owned search marketing agency of around 25 people, based in Chester. We run SEO/GEO, Digital PR, and Paid Media for ambitious brands, and are looking for someone to help get us in front of more of the right people to support our next stage of growth.

The role

We are hiring one person to own the top of our new-business funnel. You will run a modern, signal-led outbound engine against a defined list of ideal-fit accounts. You will turn buying signals into conversations to feed our sales team.

You will inherit a fully built outbound system and run it day-to-day. Over your first six months you will grow from learning the ropes to being the person who reliably fills the pipeline, with full training in our sales method along the way. We are looking for a marketing-first mind we can teach to sell, not a seasoned cold-caller.

What you will do

• Run the outbound engine: manage the weekly cadence, and keep the sending infrastructure healthy.
• Work the signals: prioritise accounts showing intent, engagement and performance signals, and action the hottest as they land as tasks in HubSpot.
• Build and optimise our HubSpot workflows, including intent-based and closed-lost re-engagement, so the right opportunities surface and route to you.
• Follow up fast on positive replies, qualify them, and book discovery calls.
• Handle inbound enquiries: qualify them quickly and book discoveries, so inbound and outbound run as one pipeline.
• Run those discoveries and move the best opportunities toward a pitch, fully trained in our own method.
• Keep HubSpot accurate, and report on your activity, discoveries and pipeline.
• Feed what you learn back into targeting and messaging so the engine keeps improving.

What good looks like

A structured six-month ramp with clear monthly checkpoints, building to a steady run rate of qualified discoveries and opportunities each month from outbound, alongside credited inbound. You will not be thrown in at the deep end! Things will step up as you find your feet.

Who you are

Career hungry, and digitally native. You are comfortable with tools and data and keen to master the platforms we work across. You write well, you are organised and self-driven, and not afraid of holding 121 conversations with some of the biggest names in the business. You are curious about digital marketing and want a career in growth. We will teach you how to sell; you bring the work ethic, the communication and the curiosity.
