The Challenge
ScaleUp is a 100+ project software development agency ready to aggressively scale revenue. You'll own the entire sales engine—from Upwork bidding to cold outbound to pipeline management—reporting directly to the CEO with real equity upside.
Your Mission
Establish baseline metrics: current lead sources, win rates, average deal size, and sales cycle length across all channels
Scale Upwork + Freelancer presence: optimize profiles, write 50+ test proposals, achieve 25%+ win rate improvement
Launch and execute first outbound campaign: cold email + LinkedIn outreach targeting 500+ qualified prospects with tracked conversion rates
Build proposal and messaging playbook: document top 3 winning templates and positioning statements with performance data
Generate consistent qualified pipeline: 20+ qualified opportunities per month with clear deal stages and close probability
Achieve 30%+ close rate on proposals: continuous A/B testing on messaging, positioning, and call-to-action
Expand lead sources: test and validate 2-3 new acquisition channels (SEO, AI-driven outreach, partnerships) beyond current platforms
Build sales team foundation: hire and train first sales team member; document processes, scripts, and systems for repeatability

Is This Role For You?
- You've built or scaled outbound lead generation programs and can show consistent pipeline metrics
- You're experienced with Upwork, Freelancer, or similar bidding platforms and understand win-rate optimization
- You're comfortable in commission-only or high-variable roles and see upside instead of risk
- You want to build systems and scale a revenue engine, not just execute individual sales tasks
- You're entrepreneurial, proactive, and ready to test new channels and iterate based on data
- You need a guaranteed fixed salary and stability over upside potential
- You prefer account management, customer success, or support over outbound and lead generation
- You expect heavy structure, micromanagement, or a traditional corporate sales environment
- You're not comfortable with direct accountability for revenue numbers and commission-based earnings
