Manhattan, New York

About the Role

As a Lead Field Marketing Specialist - Business Development (B2B), you will be responsible for generating qualified pipeline for VTEX's B2B commerce platform through strategic outbound prospecting, business relationship development, and high-impact follow-up across target accounts.

This is a true hunter role focused on identifying business opportunities, opening doors within enterprise organizations, and engaging decision-makers who are looking to modernize their B2B commerce operations.

The ideal candidate brings strong outbound sales experience, a solid understanding of the B2B commerce landscape, and the ability to navigate complex enterprise organizations and buying processes.

You know how to generate traction through cold outreach, thoughtful persistence, account research, referrals, event networking, and strong follow-up discipline. You are comfortable engaging different stakeholders, from digital commerce and IT leaders to sales, operations, and executive decision-makers.

You are highly accountable, metrics-driven, and bring a proven track record of meeting and exceeding KPI expectations. You have an outgoing, proactive personality, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and know how to turn persistence, commercial curiosity, and strong relationship-building skills into qualified pipeline.

This role will also support event-related business development efforts and must be comfortable traveling locally and nationally for trade shows, field events, meetings, and prospect engagement.

Operational Discipline and Market Feedback

  • Maintain strong CRM hygiene, including accurate activity tracking, lead and account updates, meeting outcomes, qualification notes, and account intelligence.
  • Track performance against KPIs related to outbound activity, qualified meetings, opportunity creation, conversion rates, and pipeline contribution.
  • Share market feedback, prospect insights, objections, and competitive intelligence to help strengthen B2B-specific messaging, positioning, and targeting.
