Job description
your mission
The Role
You are the top of the funnel. Your job is to get the founder into 8–12 qualified conversations per month with supply chain and procurement leaders at target manufacturers.
These are two types of meetings:
- Product meetings — structured conversations with supply chain operators to validate features, get input on roadmap, and build relationships that convert into pipeline over time
- Sales meetings — qualified conversations with decision-makers at ICP accounts who understand what Epoch does and want to see it.
What Early-Stage Outbound Looks Like
This is not a volume game. You will not blast 500 emails and wait for replies. At an unknown brand, every touchpoint needs to earn attention
How to apply
- A short note on why this role fits you
- One real example of how you got a meeting at a company where nobody knew your brand — name the company, the person, the angle you used, and how many touches it took
- Your LinkedIn profile
your profile
What You'll Actually Do
- Research target accounts — understand their supply chain, recent news, pain points, org structure
- Identify the right buyer (VP Supply Chain, Head of Procurement, COO, Plant Director)
- Write hyper-personalized outbound that earns a reply from someone who's never heard of us
- Build and run multi-touch sequences across email, LinkedIn, and warm intro paths
- Mine existing networks
- Frame meetings as value exchanges, not sales pitches
- Manage HubSpot pipeline, track outreach, report on conversion at every step
- Coordinate event follow-ups, podcast/webinar appearances, and content seeding that generates inbound
- Work directly with the founder daily
You're a Fit If
- You've done outbound at a B2B startup where nobody knew the brand — and got meetings anyway
- You can research a company and write a message that makes a VP stop scrolling
- You're comfortable working in manufacturing / supply chain / industrial context (or learn fast)
- You think in angles, not templates
- You write well in English. German is a strong plus.
- You're relentless on follow-up without being annoying
- You've used Apollo, Clay, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, HubSpot — but you know tools don't replace thinking
- You're an executor, not a strategist. You do the work, not the deck about the work.

Prepare your application
Use the description above to assess your fit for Holocene. This checklist is guidance from Resumize, rather than additional requirements from the employer. Imported listings can be shortened or change after collection, so confirm the complete description and current availability before sending an application.
Match requirements to evidence
Identify the responsibilities and skills the employer explicitly names. For each important requirement, choose one example from your work, education, training, or projects. Explain what you did, how you did it, and what changed as a result. Include a measurable outcome when you can support it. If you lack a requirement, describe related experience accurately instead of adding an unfamiliar skill to your resume.
Put the most relevant examples near the top of your resume. Keep job titles, dates, qualifications, and contact details consistent across your application materials. Use the employer’s terminology when it describes your experience accurately; a copied list of keywords does not explain your contribution. A short, specific bullet is easier to review than a paragraph that mixes several unrelated duties.
Check the working arrangement
Confirm the location, schedule, employment type, and any eligibility requirements on the employer’s site. A remote label does not establish worldwide eligibility or flexible hours. If compensation, benefits, equipment, travel, or contract duration are missing from this listing, write down your questions for the recruiter. Do not assume details from another opening at the same company apply to this role.
Review before submitting
Follow the employer’s requested file format and application instructions. Open your exported resume and check that its text is selectable, its sections read in order, and its links work. Proofread names, dates, and contact information. Share confidential work samples only when you have permission, and use an anonymized example when necessary.
Submit through a trusted employer or recruiting destination. If the original listing has disappeared, search the employer’s careers page for the title rather than assuming the vacancy remains open. Save the application date, job reference, and the version of your resume you sent. Those details help you prepare for a later conversation and avoid submitting conflicting information through several job boards.
Review your resume for writing and readability feedback, or browse other openings if this opportunity is unavailable.
