BrightLocal is an AI powered company and here AI does the heavy lifting on research, list-building and first-draft outreach, so your time is focused on the high impact work; judgement calls, qualification and the conversations that actually convert.\nYou'll sit within our Sales team, reporting to the Outbound Senior Sales Executive, and play a pivotal role at the very start of the customer journey. Working across both inbound and outbound, you'll engage prospects who already know us (trialists, high-intent leads and existing customers) while proactively reaching good-fit companies who don't. Through multi-channel outreach across email, phone and LinkedIn, you'll create qualified opportunities for our Account Executives to close.\nThis is a great opportunity to continue to build your sales career: you'll get extensive training on SEO, AEO, local search and the BrightLocal platform, plus an uncapped commission structure that rewards outbound especially well.

Research shows that some people are less likely to apply unless they meet 100% of the criteria. Your experience, perspective, and potential matter more than ticking every box.\nWe are open to flexible working arrangements and are happy to make reasonable adjustments at any stage of the recruitment process. If you need anything to feel comfortable and confident applying, just let us know.
