Cold Email Specialist / Outbound Infrastructure Operator

About the Role

We are looking for a Cold Email Specialist who lives and breathes outbound. This is not a generic VA role. We're looking for someone who understands the entire cold email ecosystem — from inbox infrastructure and deliverability to copy testing and reply optimization.

Responsibilities

Cold Email Campaign Execution
  • Build and launch cold email campaigns across multiple client accounts
  • Write and test high-performing cold email copy
  • Run A/B tests across messaging angles, CTAs, and sequences
  • Optimize campaigns based on real performance data
Deliverability & Infrastructure
  • Set up and manage sending infrastructure (domains, inboxes, warmup)
  • Monitor inbox placement, domain reputation, and sending limits
  • Diagnose deliverability issues and resolve them quickly
  • Maintain healthy sending environments at scale
Campaign Scaling
  • Operate campaigns across multiple inboxes and domains
  • Scale outreach while maintaining reply quality
  • Implement sending schedules, inbox rotation, and sequencing logic
Lead Data & Enrichment
  • Build and manage targeted prospect lists
  • Use tools like Apollo, Clay, or similar enrichment platforms
  • Ensure high-quality targeting and segmentation
Performance Tracking
  • Track metrics such as reply rates, positive responses, booked meetings, and deliverability indicators
  • Continuously refine campaigns based on performance

Requirements

Required Skills
  • Strong experience using Instantly AI
  • Proven experience running multi-inbox cold email campaigns
  • Strong understanding of email deliverability
  • Experience managing domains, inbox warmup, and sending limits
  • Cold email copywriting skills
  • Experience with Apollo, Clay, or enrichment workflows
  • Ability to run multiple campaigns simultaneously
Nice to Have
  • Agency outbound experience
  • Experience managing 100+ inbox infrastructure
  • Experience with AI-assisted copy testing
  • Familiarity with outbound analytics tools

What Success Looks Like

Within the first 90 days:

  • Campaigns launched successfully
  • Infrastructure stable and scalable
  • Deliverability maintained at healthy levels
  • Reply rates consistently improving

Ideal Candidate

This role is perfect for someone who:

  • Has run cold email campaigns at scale
  • Understands deliverability deeply
  • Is obsessed with improving reply rates
  • Thinks like a growth operator, not an assistant

If you believe you are the type of person who can build and scale cold email infrastructure, we’d love to hear from you.
