The role
Outbound email is one of the main ways 8x gets in front of brands. We send thousands of emails every day, across several verticals at once, and each vertical has its own team and a different buyer who cares about a different thing. A growth lead at a consumer app does not open the same email as a marketing manager at a skincare brand.
Right now that copy is written by whoever has time. We want one person who is part of every vertical team and takes care of that vertical's sales through email: the words, the sequences, the campaigns and the numbers.
This is a 25 hours per week role. Fully remote.
In-house, not outsourced
We are not outsourcing our email to someone who runs it alongside other clients' campaigns. You join 8x and sit inside each of our vertical teams. You learn every vertical properly and work with its sales, product and marketing people every day. If you plan to keep a roster of clients, this is not the right fit.
Our own infrastructure
We do not use third-party sending infrastructure. We have built our own to send thousands of emails per day, and you will run your campaigns on it.
What you will actually do
Be the email person in every vertical team
You are responsible for the sales each vertical gets through email.
Write the copy
Subject lines, first touches, follow-ups and breakup emails for every vertical we sell into. Short, specific and human. Nobody should be able to tell it went to a thousand people.
Find the angle per vertical
Work out with that team what each buyer actually cares about and what would make them reply today. Then write a version for them, not a find-and-replace of the last one.
Run the campaigns
Build the sequences, set up the variants, launch them and keep them running. You manage and oversee all of our email campaigns, not just the documents behind them.
Test and rewrite
Subject lines, openers, offers, calls to action, length, timing. Keep what gets replies, kill what does not, and be able to say why in one sentence.
Read the replies
Positive, negative and angry. The replies tell you what the next version should say, and they tell the sales team what the market thinks.
Sit in on the calls
You join product and sales calls in each vertical, so you hear buyers' pain points yourself and not from a brief.
Keep pushing it further
Better data, new angles, subject lines nobody else would dare to send. We do not want the same sequence run again every month.
Protect deliverability
Copy that lands in spam is worth nothing. You know what gets an email flagged and you write around it.
Report weekly, in the open
Sent, opened, replied, positive replies and meetings booked, per vertical and per campaign. The sales team makes decisions off those numbers.
You
All in on one company
You want one company to commit to, and you treat its outbound as your own.
A team player
You like working inside a team more than working alone from a brief.
A writer first
You have written cold emails that strangers answered, and you can show them to us.
Full of ideas nobody asked for
You get bored repeating what everyone does.
Comfortable at volume
Thousands of emails a day does not scare you. You know how to keep copy personal when the list is long.
Driven by reply rates
You care about positive replies and booked meetings more than a clever line.
Quick to change your mind
When the numbers say your favourite email lost, you move on.
Able to hold a lot at once
Several verticals, several campaigns each, without losing the thread on any of them.
AI-native, with taste
You use AI to research and draft faster, and you can tell when the output reads like AI. Ours cannot.
Fluent in written English
Most of our outbound is in English. Other languages are a plus.
Years of experience matter less to us than emails you can show us and explain. If a campaign of yours worked, we want to know exactly why.
What is hard about this job
Most of the people you write to have never heard of 8x, so the email has to do the explaining in a few lines. Volume is high and inboxes are crowded, which means average copy gets ignored and sloppy copy gets us flagged. You will be the only person owning this, and the reply rate is yours. If that reads as a reason not to apply, this is probably not your role.
Plenty of people can write a cold email, and AI can draft a decent one. We are looking for the person who will fight for the result.
Before you apply
AI-written applications are disqualified immediately. Write to us yourself.
Show us why you want to work for 8x, not just why you want a cold email job.
Tell us about one outbound campaign you wrote yourself, and link the emails.
Present your results in numbers: emails sent, open rate, reply rate, positive replies, meetings booked. "Good reply rate" tells us nothing.
Meet the people who work at 8x.
