> VirtuHire · South Africa (Remote) · — · Posted 2026-08-12

**Workplace:** remote

## Description

### ROLE OVERVIEW

We are looking for a **GTM Execution Assistant** to support a growing technology business by taking repetitive go-to-market execution work off the leadership team's plate.

This is an **execution-focused role rather than a strategic growth position**. The successful candidate will be responsible for consistently researching prospects, assessing their fit against a defined Ideal Customer Profile (ICP), conducting email and LinkedIn outreach, and managing responses.

The ideal candidate is highly consistent, self-managed and comfortable performing repetitive, high-volume tasks without requiring constant supervision or follow-up.

## Requirements

### KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

-   Research companies and prospects against a defined Ideal Customer Profile (ICP).
-   Review company websites and available information to determine prospect fit.
-   Qualify prospects against established criteria.
-   Build and maintain prospect lists.
-   Conduct outbound email prospecting.
-   Conduct LinkedIn outreach.
-   Write personalised and appropriate outreach messages.
-   Manage and respond to prospect replies.
-   Maintain consistent daily outreach activity.
-   Follow established go-to-market processes and workflows.
-   Track prospecting and outreach activity accurately.
-   Review responses and identify appropriate next actions.
-   Maintain quality and consistency while working at high volume.
-   Work independently and manage daily execution without constant supervision.
-   Action feedback quickly and accurately.

### KEY REQUIREMENTS

-   Approximately **2–4 years of experience** in prospecting, outbound sales, lead generation, business development or a similar execution-focused role.
-   Previous experience researching companies and qualifying prospects against defined criteria.
-   Experience conducting email and/or LinkedIn outreach.
-   **Excellent written English is essential.**
-   Strong grammar, punctuation, spelling and written communication skills.
-   Ability to write clearly and professionally without requiring significant editing.
-   Demonstrable tolerance for repetitive, high-volume execution work.
-   Ideally, at least **18 months of experience in a consistent, high-volume role**.
-   Strong attention to detail.
-   Highly organised and able to follow established processes.
-   Self-motivated and able to work independently.
-   Comfortable working with clear targets and daily activity expectations.
-   Able to receive direct feedback and implement it quickly.
-   Comfortable working in an asynchronous remote environment.

### EXPERIENCE WITH TOOLS

Experience with the following tools would be beneficial but is **not required**:

-   LinkedIn
-   Apollo
-   Clay
-   Dripify
-   Email outreach platforms

Candidates should **not be excluded based on a lack of experience with any specific tool**, as the systems can be learned.

### IDEAL CANDIDATE PROFILE

The ideal candidate is someone who:

-   Enjoys structured, repetitive execution work.
-   Takes pride in consistency and throughput.
-   Can follow the same process accurately every day.
-   Does not need to be chased to complete daily tasks.
-   Has strong written communication skills.
-   Is comfortable working independently.
-   Is highly detail-oriented.
-   Responds well to direct and concise feedback.
-   Is comfortable working towards daily activity expectations.
-   Is looking for a stable execution-focused position rather than rapid progression into management or strategy.

### IMPORTANT ROLE EXPECTATIONS

This is **not a strategic growth or management position**.

The successful candidate should be comfortable owning the day-to-day execution of an established prospecting and outreach process.

Candidates who are primarily looking for:

-   Management responsibilities
-   Strategic ownership
-   Rapid career progression
-   A growth or marketing leadership position

may not be suited to the role.

The position is best suited to someone who genuinely enjoys **consistent, process-driven execution**.
