Why Work with Us?

At Pearl, we’re not just another recruiting firm—we connect you with exceptional opportunities to work alongside visionary US and EU founders. Our focus is on placing you in roles where you can grow, be challenged, and build long-term, meaningful careers.

Role Overview:

The Strategic Operations Associate will start supporting Pearl Talent ’s marketing and growth team by executing high-impact outreach and operational tasks across evolving priorities. This is a generalist role built for adaptable, self-directed individuals who thrive with clear objectives and the autonomy to hit them.

Your first assignment will focus on manual backlinking and citation outreach—identifying opportunities from AI citation data and reaching out to publishers to secure brand mentions and backlinks for Pearl Talent . As workflows are validated and automated, you’ll transition into new strategic operations tasks. This role is ideal for sharp, resourceful operators who learn fast, write naturally, and deliver consistently without constant oversight.

Your Impact

Your outreach directly increases Pearl Talent ’s visibility in both traditional search engines and AI-generated recommendations. By securing backlinks and brand mentions across high-value third-party sites, you help Pearl show up when startup founders ask tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, or Perplexity where to find top remote talent. The data you collect during the manual phase informs the automation systems that will scale this work. Every outreach you send is a data point that makes the whole operation smarter.

Areas of Responsibility:

Publisher Outreach & Contact Research — 40%

Receive curated target lists of 25–50 citation opportunities from the marketing strategist (sourced from AI citation tracking tools)
Research each target to identify the right contact—article author, editor, content manager, or webmaster—using LinkedIn, email finders, and manual investigation
Personalize and send outreach emails using scenario-specific templates (backlink request for sites that mention Pearl; inclusion pitch for sites that don’t)
Manage follow-up sequences for non-responders (up to 2 follow-ups per target)

Response Handling & Escalation — 20%

Flag positive responses immediately to the internal marketing team for negotiation
Prepare ready-made content (blurbs, link text, article snippets) to make publisher inclusion frictionless
Escalate requests involving payment, link exchanges, or special terms—do not negotiate independently

Tracking, Reporting & Data Quality — 20%

Maintain the master outreach tracking sheet with daily updates on status, contacts, response notes, and outcomes
Report daily in Slack on volume sent, responses received, and blockers
Submit weekly summary reports covering outreach volume, response rates, confirmed wins, and observations
Flexible Operations (Evolving Scope) — 20%
As backlinking workflows are automated, transition into new growth tasks as assigned

Potential future tasks include: community-based brand engagement (Reddit, LinkedIn, Quora), content gap research from AI citation data, competitor intelligence gathering, CMS updates and internal linking audits, and outreach for additional client accounts

Bring new ideas, tools, and process improvements to the team proactively

Requirements

Must-Haves (Required)
Strong written English—you can write natural, human-sounding outreach emails that don’t read like templates and you adapt tone based on context
Fast learner with high adaptability—you can pick up a new SOP and start executing within 24–48 hours
Resourceful problem-solver—when you hit a dead end finding a contact or getting a response, you try a different angle instead of flagging it and waiting
Reliable output consistency—you can sustain 25–30 quality outreach emails per day without quality degradation
Comfortable with ambiguity—tasks and priorities will shift; you don’t need a perfectly defined playbook to start moving
Basic research proficiency—able to find contact information through LinkedIn, Google, and email-finding platforms
High ownership, accountability, and attention to detail
Comfort working independently in a fully remote environment
Nice-to-Haves (Preferred)
Prior experience with cold email outreach, link building, or digital PR
Familiarity with SEO concepts (backlinks, domain authority, internal linking)
Understanding of the outsourcing, staffing, or remote talent industry
Experience working with US-based startups or in a BPO/managed services environment
Exposure to AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude) for personalizing outreach at scale

Tools Proficiency

Must-Haves (Required)
Spreadsheets: Google Sheets (tracking, reporting, data management)
Contact Research: LinkedIn; at least one email finder (Apollo, Hunter.io, RocketReach, or similar)
Email: Gmail or equivalent (comfortable sending personalized cold outreach at volume)
Communication: Slack, Zoom
Nice-to-Haves (Preferred)
Outbound Platforms: Instantly, Lemlist, Mailshake, or similar cold email tools
Enrichment / Automation: Clay, Zapier, Make (Integromat)
Project Management: Notion, Asana, ClickUp, or similar
AI Assistants: ChatGPT, Claude (for outreach personalization with human editing)

A behind-the-scenes look at how we connect people with opportunities
