Key Takeaway
Current Role extracts structured professional data from any LinkedIn profile URL — including headline, experience, education, skills, and certifications — at 1 credit per run. It is part of SyncGTM's 75+ enrichment library and is available via CLI and MCP.
What is Current Role Action?
Current Role is a targeted enrichment action that retrieves a person's current job title and company from their LinkedIn profile. Instead of pulling a full profile, this action focuses on the single most important data point for sales and marketing teams: what someone does right now and where they work. It is ideal for quickly qualifying leads or updating stale CRM records.
SyncGTM uses a waterfall of premium data providers to resolve the person's identity and return their most recent role. The action accepts a LinkedIn URL or a name-and-company combination, making it flexible for different workflow inputs. Results are returned in real-time and can feed directly into lead scoring models, routing rules, or outreach sequences.
This action uses waterfall enrichment to query multiple premium data providers in sequence, delivering higher match rates than single-source alternatives. Learn more about how waterfall enrichment works.
