Required Skills
Claude
A/B Testing
REST APIs
Requirements
  • You can build. You’re fluent in Claude Code (or Cursor, or similar) and use it as your default operating environment
  • AI-native by default - you build agents, chain prompts, wire up APIs, and automate workflows that would take a traditional BDR team a month, in a weekend
  • 1–3 years of outbound, BD, GTM engineering, or founder-led sales experience - or a technical background and obvious commercial instincts. We care more about what you’ve built and shipped than the title on your resume
  • Familiarity with the e-commerce ecosystem - you understand what a retention marketer cares about and can speak their language, or you’ll get there in two weeks
  • Obsessive about creative outreach - you’ve sent a cold video, mailed something physical, scraped a niche signal nobody else is using, or built a tool to find prospects others miss
  • Extreme ownership - you don’t wait for a playbook, a tool, or a process. You build it, run it, measure it, and tell us what worked
  • Strong written communication - your outreach gets replies because it’s specific, sharp, and human. AI helps you scale that voice, not replace it
  • Hungry and coachable - you want to win, you take feedback fast, and you’re studying what top GTM engineers and founders are doing right now
Responsibilities
  • Own top-of-funnel pipeline generation into mid-market and enterprise e-commerce brands ($10M–$1B+ GMV) - measured on qualified meetings booked, not activity volume
  • Build and operate the outbound machine in Claude Code: enrichment pipelines, scrapers, signal detection, lead scoring, sequencing logic, and personalization at scale - replace SaaS tools with code wherever it makes you faster
  • Design multi-agent workflows that research accounts, identify buying signals, draft tailored outreach, and surface the highest-leverage prospects every morning
  • Run outbound like a product: instrument every step, A/B test ruthlessly, kill what doesn’t work, and double down on what does
  • Partner directly with the founder and AE team to sharpen ICP, refine messaging, and feed live signal back into positioning and pricing
  • Build the systems, templates, and infrastructure the rest of the GTM team will inherit - what you ship in month one is what scales the function in year one
  • Be the in-house expert on the outbound stack: APIs, data sources, deliverability, agent orchestration - and bring the bleeding edge in as it ships

LTV.ai is an AI-driven marketing platform for ecommerce that delivers personalized, conversational email and SMS campaigns, with a focus on post-purchase optimization to boost customer lifetime value.
