Sales Operations & AI Strategist

Career Movement is a recruiting firm rooted in Los Angeles since 1999 that places top talent nationwide, with deep expertise in finance, accounting, and technically critical roles. We partner with scaling companies, venture-backed startups, and industry leaders to ensure their recruitment process runs efficiently and successfully.

We are not a traditional recruiting firm. We build internal AI tools, automate workflows with Claude, and operate like a tech-enabled business that happens to specialize in talent. Every person on this team is expected to use AI daily, think in systems, and get sharper over time. If that is how you already work, you will fit here.

THE ROLE

We are hiring a Sales Operations & AI Strategist to drive new client acquisition. This is not a role for someone who wants to send generic outreach and wait. You will use AI tools primarily Claude to do high-quality research, write sharper outreach, build prospect lists faster, and find angles a manual process would miss entirely.

The volume is real, but the work is intelligent. You will build and reuse prompt workflows, automate the repetitive parts of prospecting, and spend your time on conversations and decisions, not copy-paste tasks.

The path forward is Sales Associate, a full-desk recruiter role with commission and placement bonuses. If you learn the tools, own your numbers, and develop market knowledge, that move happens fast.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Use Claude daily to conduct account research, build lookalike company and contact lists, and identify hiring signals before reaching out

• Build, refine, and reuse prompt workflows in Claude that compress hours of prospecting work into minutes

• Draft and personalize outbound email and LinkedIn InMail with AI assistance, keeping message quality high while running volume

• Work LinkedIn project lists daily to identify and contact companies that are actively hiring

• Source hiring managers through job boards and LinkedIn and reach out same day

• Execute LinkedIn InMail campaigns targeting prospective clients and decision makers

• Own and maintain a re-engagement list of past clients, old leads, former job order companies, and lost opportunities

• Log all activity, contacts, and outcomes in HubSpot CRM daily

• Book introductory meetings for the senior recruiting team

• Collaborate with recruiters on candidate-driven outreach and develop market knowledge over time
