Posted yesterday

Worldwide

Summary

We are a technology provider in the digital anti-counterfeiting / brand-protection space and are building a targeted Account-Based Marketing (ABM) program. We need a detail-oriented researcher to identify the right organizations and the right decision-makers within them, and to compile a clean, verified contact list our sales team can use for personalized outreach. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Identify target organizations in defined segments (see below). - Within each organization, find the relevant decision-makers or influencers by job function. - Compile their profile details and a verified business email address. - Deliver the results in a structured spreadsheet (template provided). TARGET ORGANIZATIONS (examples) - Brand owners in high-counterfeit industries: pharmaceuticals, spirits & wine, cosmetics/fragrance, automotive parts, electronics/components, agrochemicals, tobacco, luxury goods. - Security printers and manufacturers of security documents (banknotes, ID/passports, tax stamps). - Government and quasi-government bodies: customs, brand/IP offices, regulatory authorities. - Industry associations and international organizations in IP protection. TARGET ROLES (examples) Brand Protection Manager/Director, Head of Anti-Counterfeiting, Head of Serialization / Track & Trace, Supply Chain Security, Product/Packaging Security, IP Counsel, and in security printing: R&D/Innovation and Business Development leads. The contact must be a decision-maker or a clear influencer on this topic. DELIVERABLE – one row per contact, columns: 1. Company name 2. Segment / industry 3. Country 4. Company website 5. Contact full name 6. Job title 7. Decision-maker or influencer (yes/why) 8. LinkedIn profile URL 9. Verified business email 10. Email verification status (verified / catch-all / risky) 11. Source of the email 12. Notes DATA QUALITY & COMPLIANCE (important) - Use legitimate sourcing tools only (e.g. LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Apollo, Cognism, ZoomInfo, Lusha, RocketReach). No scraped, leaked, or purchased "hacked" databases. - All emails must be run through an email-verification tool; flag catch-all/risky addresses. - Work must respect GDPR and Swiss data-protection (revDSG) principles: business contacts only, in a professional context, sources documented. - Accuracy over volume. A smaller, correct list beats a large, unverified one. PILOT We'll start with a paid pilot of 50 target accounts (aim: 1–2 verified contacts per account). Based on quality, we'll continue with larger batches on an ongoing basis.
