Outbound Business Development Lead

About HASHHASH is building an open-source platform for structured knowledge and organizational decision-making. We turn information from databases, applications, documents, communications, sensors, and other sources into continuously updated knowledge and process graphs. From this shared model, organizations can analyze their operations, simulate possible futures, automate workflows, and give AI agents the context they need to act reliably.Our mission is to solve information failure and enable everybody to make the right decisions. We work on difficult technical and commercial problems, including applications in regulated and safety-critical environments.About the roleIn the last six months we’ve seen significant growth and are now scaling fast. We have working technology, customer results and senior people who can run strong discovery and technical conversations. We’re hiring our first Outbound Business Development Lead to create a much larger and more systematic flow of the right people into those conversations.Your job is to identify organizations that could run valuable HASH pilots, find the right stakeholders, form a credible hypothesis about where we could help, contact them cold and turn interest into qualified meetings.This is a zero-to-one role. Marketing will not hand you a full pipeline, and a manager will not hand you a finished call list or script. You will build the outbound motion yourself: targeting, research, data, tooling, messaging, cadences, qualification, CRM and measurement. You’ll work directly with HASH’s founder, Enterprise Sales Lead and Solutions Lead, and use the conversations you create to improve the system quickly.RequirementsA record of personally creating qualified B2B meetings from cold accounts, rather than only working inbound leads or an existing networkExcellent concise writing: your outreach should sound like a smart person with a relevant idea, not an automated sequenceStrong account-research ability and the judgment to find a specific operational hypothesis in incomplete public informationComfort with cold email, phone, LinkedIn and persistent follow-up, without sacrificing relevance or respect for the prospectFluency with CRM, enrichment, sequencing, automation and AI-assisted research; you know how to gain leverage without producing generic spamEnough curiosity about AI, data and complex operations to understand what HASH does and where it may create material valueHigh agency, energy and organization, with the ability to build a function without waiting for detailed instructionsExperience in enterprise AI, data infrastructure, developer tools or other technical B2B software is useful.
