Agnes, our AI Supply Chain Manager, runs on top of it, helping brands decide what to produce, where to make it, and how to move it. Your job is to help us reach the brands that need it.\nYou’ll work directly with the founding team to research prospects, pick up the phone, send thoughtful gifts, and turn creative outreach into real conversations. One day, you might put together a personalized package for a supply chain executive. The next, you’ll call them, learn about their challenges, and book a meeting.\nYou’ll own the details from the first touch to the follow-up. Success means opening doors and creating qualified sales opportunities.\nWhat you’ll do\nRun personalized gifting campaigns. Research prospects, come up with thoughtful gift ideas, source and package them, coordinate shipping, and follow up when they arrive.\n\nCold call prospective customers. Reach supply chain and operations leaders, introduce Spherecast, handle initial objections, and book qualified meetings.\n\nFind the right people. Research consumer brands, identify relevant decision-makers, and build targeted prospect lists.\n\nWrite outreach that gets a response. Create personalized emails, LinkedIn messages, and handwritten notes that give prospects a reason to engage.\n\nOwn the follow-up. Keep track of conversations, deliveries, and next steps in our CRM. Make sure promising opportunities keep moving.\n\nTest and improve. Try different messages, gifts, and outreach approaches. Track which ones generate conversations and meetings, then build on what works.\n\nSupport events and campaigns. Help get the right people into the room and turn introductions into ongoing conversations.\n\nWhat we’re looking for\nYou’re comfortable picking up the phone and starting conversations with people you’ve never met.\n\nYou’re persistent and resilient. You can hear “no,” learn from it, and make the next call.\n\nYou’re organized and reliable. You keep track of shipping details, contact information, and follow-up dates.\n\nYou’re resourceful and creative. You can find a relevant angle or thoughtful gift that makes someone pay attention.\n\nYou communicate clearly, both in writing and in conversation.\n\nYou take ownership, move quickly, and ask for feedback to improve.\n\nYou’re curious about startups, sales, and how consumer brands operate.\n\nYou’re excited to work on-site with our team in New York City.\n\nBonus: Experience in sales, video editing/cinematography, fundraising, hospitality, student organizations, or building something of your own. Previous business development experience is welcome but not required.\n\nAbout Spherecast\nSpherecast is building the AI-native operating system for consumer goods supply chains, trusted by brands such as AG1, Feastables, and HOLY.\nOur platform brings demand, inventory, materials, capacity, and costs into one real-time operating context. Agnes uses this foundation to evaluate production, purchasing, and inventory decisions, then turn approved decisions into actions in customers’ systems.\nOur ambition is to connect brands, manufacturers, and suppliers in one network, making the physical flow of goods as programmable as code.\nJoin us in New York City.
