Role
Who you are

- Track record with cold outreach (email, phone, LinkedIn) in a B2B SaaS or Manufacturing Tech setting
- Strong written and verbal communication skills with an eye for personalization
- High motor: self-starter with a top 1% work ethic
- History of working independently while exceeding activity and pipeline generation goals
- A deep desire to grow into a closing role and help build something game-changing from the ground up
- Comfortable in a high-ownership, fast-paced environment where autonomy and hustle are key

- Own outbound prospecting efforts via email, phone, and LinkedIn to generate qualified pipeline
- You’ll connect with forward-thinking hardware manufacturers, identifying new opportunities through email, cold calls, and LinkedIn outreach
- Book and qualify meetings with OEM and Contract Manufacturer prospects across engineering and supply chain teams
- Working closely with the founding team and sales leadership, you’ll help refine and optimize our go-to-market approach as we scale
- Learn the ins and outs of Cofactr’s platform, our customer profiles, and go-to-market strategy
- You'll be joining a team of ambitious, mission-driven builders who are passionate about transforming the hardware supply chain
- Collaborate with Sales and Founders to iterate on messaging and improve outreach efficiency
- Consistently track performance, test new approaches, and help shape a scalable outbound playbook
- At Cofactr, we're committed to fostering efficiency, scalability, and innovation. We are transforming the landscape of hardware manufacturing with our comprehensive ecosystem of supply chain tools, designed to streamline processes and enable new possibilities
Our take
As supply chain issues are becoming one of the greatest stumbling blocks across all industrial sectors, Cofactr’s platform allows companies to quickly search, price, and procure electrical parts from its network of distributors in an attempt to mitigate supply shortages.
While Cofactr hasn’t yet caused much of a stir in industry media, it’s telling that the company has been quietly attracting plenty of VC interest. As well as being selected as a Y Combinator W22 startup, Bain Capital Ventures has shown its faith by investing heavily at the early stages.
As well as potentially having an answer to obvious supply chain issues, Cofactr’s attractiveness may well have something to do with co-founders Matthew Haber and Phillip Gulley, who enjoyed great success with and ultimately sold R&D firm BeSide Digital in 2019.
With plenty of funding secured, the next big steps for Cofactr will be to continually refine its tech performance as the company looks to win more customers and scale up.
