About the Role

At Pavago, one of our clients is hiring a Cold Email Outreach Specialist / Outbound Lead Generation Representative to generate qualified pipeline through targeted, data-driven outbound email campaigns.

This is a hands-on role with ownership of the full cold email workflow — from prospect research and list building to campaign setup, copywriting, deliverability, optimization, reply management, and lead qualification.

This is not a passive list-sending role. You should understand how targeting, messaging, domain reputation, inbox health, and deliverability work together to drive outbound performance.

If you know how to build targeted lists, write cold emails that generate responses, maintain healthy sending infrastructure, and continuously optimize campaigns based on data, this role is a strong fit.
