About the Role

This is a senior, multilingual demand-generation seat at the heart of Intent HQ’s sales organization. It owns outbound and inbound demand-generation outreach for IntentOne — qualification, campaign management and event presence — and is measured against MQL and SQL targets. It is also the first commercial hire into Intent HQ’s new mid-market motion: a 30–45 day free-trial offer in which prospects and partners design their own use cases, before moving — if successful — into a procurement cycle. This person owns that funnel and carries a genuine account-management element through to close, not just a handover.

This is a stepping-stone seat for someone with real ambition: the intention is for this person to build the pipeline discipline, account-management experience and product knowledge to move into the field as an Account Director.

Key Responsibilities

Demand Generation & Campaigns

• Own demand-generation outreach end to end: work the inbound MQL queue and run outbound campaigns that convert into sales-qualified leads (SQLs).

• Design and run top-of-funnel campaigns alongside Marketing, using the core martech stack — Clay, Vidyard, Salesloft and Synthesia — to build, launch and optimize outreach.

• Own and manage the growing use of AI-driven “avatars” for demand generation across the long tail of accounts, working closely with Marketing on how they are deployed and improved.

Mid-Market Free Trial & Account Management

• Qualify prospects and partners into IntentOne’s 30–45 day free trial, supporting them as they design their own use cases.

• Manage the funnel from trial through to the procurement cycle, carrying partial account-management responsibility for these deals through to close rather than handing every one off.

• Keep Lightfield (CRM) accurate and current for every lead, trial and opportunity.

Events & Field Presence

• Represent Intent HQ at industry events, potentially on a global scale, including manning stands and supporting the wider team on site.

• Build relationships in the field that feed pipeline and support the account teams.

Sales & Go-to-Market Integration

• Operate as an integral part of the sales organisation, working alongside Account Executives/Directors rather than as a standalone function.

• Contribute to territory plan reviews and wider go-to-market planning.

• Feed lead-quality insight back to Marketing to continuously sharpen targeting and scoring.

What We’re Looking For

• Senior BDR or demand-generation experience in a B2B SaaS or technology business, with a track record against SQL/MQL targets.

• Fluent English plus a second language: Spanish is our preference, though French or German would also be very welcome — not essential, but a big advantage.

• Hands-on experience with modern sales/martech tooling, ideally including Clay, Vidyard, Salesloft or Synthesia — or a fast aptitude for picking new tools up and running campaigns through them.

• Comfortable owning and improving AI-driven outreach (“avatars”) as part of a demand-generation motion, not just a manual call-and-email cadence.

• Experience qualifying leads and managing a funnel through to a genuine commercial outcome, not just booking meetings.

• Willing to travel to industry events, including internationally, and comfortable representing the company on a stand.

• Real ambition to progress into a field sales role (Account Director) — this is explicitly a stepping-stone seat, not a long-term desk job.

Nice to Have

• Experience supporting a free-trial or proof-of-concept-led sales motion.

• Exposure to customer data, personalisation, martech or customer-value-management categories.

• Experience contributing to territory planning.

What Success Looks Like

• MQL-to-SQL conversion improving, with disciplined, up-to-date CRM/Lightfield records.

• The mid-market free-trial funnel for IntentOne running smoothly, with a growing share of trials converting into procurement.

• The demand-gen avatar program live and actively managed in partnership with Marketing.

• Visible presence at events, contributing measurably to pipeline.

• Demonstrable readiness for an Account Director conversation within the year.
