As the first point of contact for new business prospects, you will be a crucial partner to our account executives. Your role is to develop a robust pipeline of qualified opportunities by conducting market research, executing data-driven campaigns, and developing dynamic territory plans. You will understand the Turnitin Integrity and Assessment product portfolios to assess potential customers' needs, mitigate objections, and position the right solutions.

Lead Generation: Actively prospect into assigned territories to generate new leads. Develop and execute targeted multi-touch inbound and outbound campaigns via social media, email, and phone to drive engagement and build a robust pipeline.

Lead Qualification & Advancement: Follow up on, qualify, and nurture all assigned leads. Navigate institutional buying processes by mapping key decision-makers and influencers. Skillfully mitigate prospect objections by clarifying concerns and responding with well-prepared solutions.
