B2B Lead Generation & Outreach Specialist — African Energy and Industrial Markets

Posted 3 weeks ago

Worldwide

Summary

We are looking for a reliable B2B lead generation and outreach specialist to help us find potential customers across Africa. We are building software for remote energy operations. The product helps companies account for fuel from delivery through equipment use, identify unexplained discrepancies, and improve fuel controls using their existing records and field evidence. The company name and full product details will be shared with shortlisted applicants. The main goal is to identify as many relevant companies as possible, find the right decision-makers, contact them with approved messaging, and book customer-discovery calls. We are mainly targeting oil and gas operators, oilfield-service companies, captive and distributed-power operators, industrial sites dependent on diesel generation, and other companies operating remote sites or generator fleets. A strong target company will usually have significant diesel use, multiple fuel deliveries, one or more remote operating sites, existing fuel or generator records, and a known or possible problem with unexplained fuel differences. The right contacts will usually work in operations, finance, asset management, logistics, fuel management, maintenance, internal audit, risk, or general management. Your work will include researching companies, identifying the correct decision-makers, finding and verifying professional contact information, writing short personalized messages, sending approved outreach, following up, booking calls, and keeping an organized tracker. We want strong volume, but the companies and contacts must be relevant. We do not want copied lists, duplicate companies, unrelated contacts, generic inboxes, or unverified information. You should be able to explain why each company fits and why each person is worth contacting. All outreach must be short, professional, and personalized. No messages should be sent until the target contacts and messaging have been approved. The outreach should focus on fuel accountability, reconciliation, unexplained discrepancies, record accuracy, operational visibility, and stronger financial controls. It should not accuse employees, suppliers, drivers, or contractors of theft or misconduct. This may become an ongoing role for someone who can consistently find qualified companies and book relevant conversations. Experience in B2B lead generation, LinkedIn research, email outreach, contact verification, and appointment setting is required. Experience in African markets, oil and gas, energy, mining, telecom infrastructure, logistics, power, or industrial operations is strongly preferred. To apply, please answer the following questions. What similar lead generation or outreach work have you done? Have you worked in African markets? Which countries and industries? What tools do you use to find and verify decision-makers? Do you have access to LinkedIn Sales Navigator or a similar platform? How many qualified companies and decision-makers can you realistically research each week? Describe one outreach campaign you worked on and the results. Name two African companies you believe may fit this project and explain who you would contact at each company. Please start your proposal with “Energy Outreach.” Include your hourly rate, weekly availability, and the tools you currently use.
