This person will be responsible for initiating contact and recruiting new shelter partners – primarily through cold calling and email – with the goal of increasing shelter return-to-home rates by expanding the reach of stray intake listings.

You’ll step into a system that’s already proven and working, but we’re looking for someone who’s driven, persuasive on the phone, compassionate, and always hunting for ways to improve the outreach process. If you love the idea of combining sales with mission-driven work, we want to hear from you.

- Drive shelter adoption of PawBoost by clearly communicating its value
- Monitor outreach effectiveness and implement improvements to increase conversion
- Meet and exceed shelter acquisition goals, especially within the top 500 shelters nationwide
- Collaborate with the marketing and management teams to share feedback from the field

-- What We're Looking For --
- Motivated self-starter with a hunter mentality
- Excellent verbal and written communication
- Extremely organized and able to manage a high volume of outreach efficiently
- Comfortable with cold calling and handling objections with professionalism and confidence
- Willingness to learn and adapt based on what’s working
- Passionate about helping animals

-- Preferred Qualifications --
- 2+ years in sales, outreach, or recruitment roles
- Experience working at or with animal shelters or humane societies
- Familiarity with CRMs, especially HubSpot
- Technical curiosity or familiarity with shelter software platforms (e.g. Chameleon, Shelterluv, etc.)

-- Why Join PawBoost? --
- Mission-driven work – You’ll directly contribute to reuniting more pets with their families.
- High-impact role – You'll play a crucial part in expanding a key growth area for the company.
- Startup agility – We move fast, work collaboratively, and value fresh ideas.
- Commission opportunity – Be rewarded for performance, especially with high-value shelter signups.
