About Us Atom is an AI-native premium domain marketplace helping startups and established businesses secure a strong name and build a stronger brand, faster. Our curated collection of world-class brandable domains, paired with intelligent discovery, makes finding the right domain fast and seamless. Our platform supports the entire naming journey—from idea generation and research to testing, trademark support, and brand monitoring. As a fast-growing, AI-first company at the intersection of technology, branding, and startups, Atom gives you hands-on experience with real client outreach and deal flow while learning directly from experienced operators. It's an ideal environment for someone early in their career who wants to build strong sales instincts and grow quickly on a high-impact team.

The Role We're looking for someone who is sharp, persistent, and comfortable communicating clearly over email and phone—someone who can think on their feet and turn interest into real conversations.

As an Inside Sales Associate, you'll work directly with our sales team to build pipeline through high-volume email outreach, inbound lead follow-up, and warm calling. This is an activity-heavy role that requires strong writing, resilience, and consistency.

You will not just send emails—you will build the top of our sales funnel, warm up leads, and set the stage for deals to move forward.

This is an ideal role for someone early in their career who wants exposure to startups, branding, and high-value transactions.

What You'll Do

• Send high-volume, personalized outbound email campaigns to prospective buyers and domain investors
• Handle inbound leads and respond promptly to keep them engaged
• Follow up consistently with warm leads to keep them moving through the pipeline
• Customize outreach messaging based on lead context rather than sending fully generic templates
• Track outreach activity, replies, and outcomes, keeping records clean and up to date
• Assist the sales team with closing sales
• Hand off qualified conversations to the appropriate sales lead for next steps

What We're Looking For

• Some experience in outbound sales, outreach, or a related communication-heavy role
• Comfortable making outbound/warm calls daily
• Comfortable sending high volume email outreach
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• High ownership mindset—someone who follows through and takes responsibility
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, startup-style environment
• Interest in startups, branding, or technology

Bonus: Experience in sales, marketplaces, or negotiation-based environments

Why This Role is Different

• Direct mentorship and training from experienced operators in the domain and branding space
• Exposure to real transactions, founders, and high-value decision-making
• Clear path to growth into Account Management, Sales, or Strategy roles
• A chance to build foundational skills in outbound sales, persistence, and pipeline management

Benefits:

• 401(k)
• Dental insurance
• Health insurance
• Paid time off
• Vision insurance

Application Question(s):

• Have you worked in an outbound sales, BDR, or outreach role at a company that sells directly to businesses or consumers? If so, what did the company sell?

• Which company/companies on your resume best demonstrate this experience? / What were your main responsibilities?
• What outreach methods have you used (cold email, cold calling, warm calling, etc.), and roughly how much volume did you handle?
