About the Role
We’re looking for a proven sales development leader to own and scale our Business Development (BDR) function. The ideal candidate is both a builder and a coach — someone who can architect a high-performing outbound motion, recruit and develop exceptional talent, and ensure the BDR organization becomes a predictable engine for pipeline growth.
This role reports to the VP of Sales and works cross-functionally with Marketing, RevOps, and Sales to define strategy, drive execution, and constantly improve conversion rates through data, process, and people.

Use data and tooling (Salesforce, Outreach, Gong, etc.) to monitor performance and continuously improve.
Ensure high-quality pipeline generation through rigorous coaching, enablement, and process consistency.
Partner Cross-Functionally:
Collaborate with Marketing to optimize campaign follow-up, lead routing, and messaging alignment.
Work with Sales and RevOps to ensure territory alignment and fair performance measurement.
Forecast and Report: Deliver accurate, actionable insights on BDR productivity, conversion rates, and pipeline contribution.
Innovate: Continuously test new outreach strategies, messaging, and channels to keep the team creative and competitive.
