CRM management
Monitoring Lead Forensics to identify website visitors, researching who they are and turning visits into conversations
Entering and managing leads and pipelines in HubSpot, keeping every prospect at the right stage with a clear next step
Recording clear notes after every call and meeting, and keeping records clean and up to date to support accurate reporting and forecasting
Relationships and team support
Building strong relationships with prospects, clients, introducers and industry contacts
Attending networking and industry events to represent Kinspace and generate opportunities
Supporting Project Directors, Marketing and the wider team with research, event preparation and outreach campaigns

A confident communicator: comfortable on the phone and face to face, including with senior decision-makers
Organised: you can balance calling, research, networking, follow-ups and CRM admin while keeping the detail accurate
Hands‑on and adaptable: you’re happy to do a bit of everything, learn quickly and welcome feedback

Our values
Humble: we put ego aside, stay open to learning, celebrate team wins and welcome feedback
Hungry: we’re self‑motivated, take initiative and look for ways to add value
