Location: Albany, NY Workplace: Hybrid Please note that this is a hybrid position based in New York, with travel required for industry events and customer meetings. While we welcome all applications, this role does not offer relocation assistance. We encourage applications from candidates who are local to New York State or are able to relocate independently. ABOUT ROCKET SCIENCE GROUP Rocket Science Group is a games-industry company built around four specialist studios: Atomic Theory, Terminal Velocity, Multiplay and Space Rangers. We help studios and publishers build, launch and run their games, from co-development and platform engineering to game server hosting. Our new Firehouse office in Schenectady is the home of our growing presence in North America. THE ROLE: We're looking for a hunter. This role is about opening new doors: finding, engaging and winning new customers for RSG, with Multiplay at the core of what you sell. You'll own your pipeline from first outreach to signed deal, working closely with our studio teams to shape solutions that customers actually need. We care more about who you are than what your resume says. We don't hire for a title or a number of years. We hire for hunger. This role is open to mid or senior level, please see below for more expectations on these levels. WHAT YOU'LL DO: - Hunt new logos: build and work your own pipeline of new customers, mainly for Multiplay's game server hosting and related services - Run high-volume, high-quality outbound prospecting every day, across LinkedIn, email, phone and events - Run discovery conversations that uncover what a prospect really needs, then bring in the right RSG experts to shape the solution - Drive deals from first contact to close, including proposals, pricing conversations and negotiation - Keep HubSpot clean and current, so your pipeline and activity are always visible - Represent RSG at industry events and in the communities where our customers spend time WHAT WE VALUE: - Hunter Mentality: You have the drive, curiosity and nerve to open conversations with people you don’t know, and you get energy from winning new accounts against the odds. - Intrinsic Motivation: You do the work because you want to be great at it, not because someone is watching. - Experience: Ideally, you’ve trained in a true hunter sales environment, where you thrived or learned a lot. New customers won or pipeline you built yourself is a strong plus. If you’re earlier in your career and have the hunger, we’ll train you. - Resilience: You’re curious and coachable, and comfortable hearing no and coming back sharper. - Communication: You’re a clear, confident communicator who builds trust quickly with technical and commercial buyers alike. THREE LEVELS, THREE SETS OF EXPECTATIONS We're hiring at junior, mid or senior level. The hunter mentality is the same at every level; what we expect you to bring grows with it.
