We specialize in Cloudflare, WAF and DDoS protection, AWS infrastructure, DevOps, Linux, application reliability, WordPress infrastructure, and ongoing cloud-security management. Our goal is to build partnerships with digital, web-development, ecommerce, SaaS, and marketing agencies that manage revenue-critical client websites and applications but do not have senior cloud infrastructure or security expertise in-house.

Required experience: -B2B company and prospect research. -LinkedIn and LinkedIn Sales Navigator. -Google Sheets. -Decision-maker research. -Manual data verification. -Strong written English. -Ability to explain why a company matches defined commercial criteria. Preferred experience -Digital agency research. -Technology, SaaS, cloud, DevOps, or cybersecurity markets. -Tools such as Apollo, BuiltWith, Wappalyzer, Hunter, or equivalent research platforms. -CRM data preparation and deduplication. What this role does not include: -Sending LinkedIn connection requests. -Sending cold emails. -Cold calling. -Booking meetings. -Writing sales proposals. -Using our personal LinkedIn credentials. -Unauthorized scraping or automation. -Intrusive security scanning. -Producing large unqualified contact lists. How to apply: Include concise answers to the following: -Describe a similar B2B account-research project you completed and do you have experience with selling cybersecurity services? -How would you determine whether a digital agency lacks internal cloud infrastructure or security expertise? -Which sources would you use to research agency services, technologies, clients, and decision-makers? -How do you distinguish verified information from an assumption? -Provide an example of how you would explain why one company is a strong target and another should be rejected. -State your hourly rate and weekly availability. -Begin your application with the words “Qualified accounts” so we know you read the complete description. Applications focused mainly on mass scraping, automated outreach, or selling large generic lead lists will not be considered.
