Cold Email & Outbound Specialist

Cold Email & Outbound Specialist
Remote · Full-time · AEST overlap · US$650–900/mo base + commission on closed clients

We could've written "fast-growing company seeks motivated email marketing specialist." We didn't — same reason we don't send email s like that. One seat, one job: fill the calendar with the right conversations. You own outbound and the copy behind it. Not funnels, not ads, not automations — someone else owns those.

If you "also do a bit of email ," this isn't it. If you pull a 20% reply rate on a list of 200 while the market gets 3 — keep reading.

APPLICATION KEY: Start your application with the word "COLD OPEN" and one line — your best cold reply rate and the list size. No keyword, no read.

You are the pattern interrupt
In a market drowning in beige, the interrupt is specificity. The same moment, two ways.

What the market sends:
"Hi there! I hope this email finds you well. I'm reaching out from [Company], a leading provider of lead generation solutions. We help businesses like yours scale revenue with our proven system. Open to a quick 15-minute call to explore synergies?"

What we send:
"Subject: your quote form
Hey Dave — quick one. Your battery ad drops people on the homepage instead of a matching page, and your quote form asks nine questions. Homeowners bail around four. Free tip, do what you like with it.
While I've got you: I place exclusive solar leads, one business per lead, and I'm working out where the next lot should go. Reckon you might suit. Half an hour this week — Tue 10 or Thu 2? — Sash"

One gets deleted. One gets a reply. If you feel why, you might be our person.

What you own

The list — signal-based and hand-built, every name has a reason. Apollo, Sales Nav, Clay, AI research.
The first line — one true, specific observation. Never "Hi {first_name}."
The copy — the bespoke cold open and the templated ladder behind it, and in time Closara's whole outbound voice. You write it; the tech operator wires it.
Deliverability — SPF/DKIM/DMARC, spam under 0.3%, warmed domains only. In 2026 a bad domain is rejected outright, not spam-foldered. Non-negotiable.
The replies — one objective: a booked call. You never quote price.

What you need

A real campaign you ran — tool, domain setup, sequence, actual reply rates. First thing we check.
Deliverability fluency — if warm-up and DMARC aren't second nature, this isn't your seat.
Genuine direct-response copy — short, specific, human. 2–3 samples.
AI-native — and able to make it not sound like AI.
Full-time, single focus, AEST-overlapping hours.

Two hard rules

Never quote price. Not a number, not a range. When they ask: "That's the call — I'll get you in with Sash." A miss here is disqualifying.
Approved verticals only. Solar and battery first. Regulated (mortgage, finance, insurance) needs written sign-off; legal injury leads never. Unsure? Ask before you send.

The test — do this with your application

Find a real AU solar & battery installer in the Meta Ad Library. Name the one signal you'd lead with.
Write the cold open — under 80 words, subject included.
Write the 3-touch templated ladder behind it.
How would you build and enrich a list of 200, what would you automate, and what spam-complaint rate would you never cross?

The money
Modest base, real money on closes. You're paid when a client you sourced signs and pays — not for a booking, not for a show.

Base: US$600–900/mo on proven depth
US$200 per committed, paying client
+US$100 if they're still paying at 90 days
+US$200 for landing 5 in a month
A steady month runs ~US$1,550 take-home; a strong one ~US$2,350. A strong operator clears US$25,000+ a year — before we open the next vertical and the next country, which is where this seat is heading.

How to apply
Send: the keyword "COLD OPEN" + your best reply rate and list size; a walkthrough of one real campaign (tool, domain, sequence, reply rate — redacted screenshots fine); 2–3 cold email s you wrote; the four-part test; a 60-second Loom in English; confirmation of full-time AEST-overlapping hours.

Nail the keyword, the campaign and the test — you're already ahead of almost everyone. Those things ARE the job.
