• Supporting and coordinating founder-led workshops and events, including lead conversion and partnership follow-through

• Comfort with cold outreach and relationship initiation (offline and online)
• Working knowledge of revenue models, commission structures, and ROI tracking
• Ability to manage follow-ups and reporting using Google Sheets or basic CRM tools
