Job summary

Firmable Pte Ltd is seeking an experienced SDR Manager to lead Singapore-based outbound development, building a new SDR function and driving pipeline for APAC. You’ll coach, test messaging, and own the playbook while handling the toughest accounts.

Reporting to the Head of Sales, APAC, you’ll split your time between leading the team (~75%) and cross-functional work (~25%) with AEs, marketing, and ANZ leadership. AI-driven prospecting is central to the role.

Qualifications

• 3+ years in B2B sales development, with at least 1 year leading SDRs or BDRs.
• Zero-to-one build: experience building an SDR function from scratch, stand-up of a net-new team, playbook and operating rhythm.
• Coaching capability: you run call reviews and 1:1s that measurably change rep performance.
• Regional fluency: knowledge of Singapore and Southeast Asian B2B buying; comfortable prospecting in English across the region.
• Commercial discipline: forecast and manage pipeline with numbers, not gut feel.
• Right to work in Singapore: Firmable cannot sponsor visas for this role.
• You live and breathe AI tools: using AI for research, sequencing, prep and reporting as default.

Responsibilities

• Lead a team of SDRs based in Singapore; accountable for qualified meetings each month.
• Run daily stand-ups, weekly pipeline reviews, and handover into AE forecasting.
• Recruit, onboard and ramp new SDRs as the Asia team grows.
• Review calls and sequences; run role-plays to lift conversion.
• Own multi-channel sequences for Singapore and Malaysia (email and LinkedIn).
• Use Firmable data and buying signals to prioritise mid-market accounts.

Job description

Firmable is the market-leading B2B sales intelligence platform in Asia-Pacific. Our competitive moat is our data: the deepest, most localised company and people dataset in every market we operate in. We’ve proven the model in ANZ. Now we’re scaling it across Southeast Asia and the US.

Great data only matters if the right businesses know about it. This role builds the team that puts it in front of them across Singapore and Southeast Asia.

The Role

SDR Manager leads Firmable’s outbound development team in Singapore, turning our data into qualified meetings for the sales team. The role is accountable for the team’s pipeline output and for building an SDR function from the ground up: a zero-to-one, net-new outbound capability that can then scale across the region.

This is not a pure reporting role. You’ll stay close to the outbound work yourself, testing messaging, running the playbooks and taking on the hardest accounts, so you coach from experience rather than from a dashboard.

Reporting to the Head of Sales, APAC.

~75% leading and coaching: 1:1s, call reviews, pipeline management and hiring. ~25% cross-functional: working with AEs, marketing and ANZ leadership on the playbook.

What You’ll Own

• Team accountability: lead a team of SDRs in Singapore, accountable for qualified meetings held each month




• Operating rhythm: run daily stand-ups, weekly pipeline reviews and the handover into AE forecasting




• Hiring: recruit, onboard and ramp new SDRs as the Asia team grows




• Coaching: review calls and sequences, and run role-play to lift conversion




• Outbound playbook: own multi-channel sequences for Singapore (email and LinkedIn led) and Malaysia




• Signal-based targeting: use Firmable data and buying signals to prioritise mid-market accounts

What We’re Looking For

• Proven SDR leadership: 3+ years in B2B sales development, with at least 1 year leading SDRs or BDRs




• Zero-to-one build: experience building an SDR (or BDR) function from scratch, standing up a net-new team, playbook and operating rhythm rather than only inheriting and scaling an existing one.




• Coaching capability: you run call reviews and 1:1s that measurably change rep performance




• Regional fluency: working knowledge of Singapore and Southeast Asian B2B buying, and comfort prospecting in English across the region




• Commercial discipline: you forecast and manage pipeline with numbers, not gut feel




• Right to work in Singapore: Firmable cannot sponsor visas for this role




• You live and breathe AI tools. You use AI for prospect research, sequence personalisation, call preparation and team reporting as your default way of working, not a productivity experiment.

The Environment

Firmable runs lean and ships fast: small senior teams, no layers, minimal process. This is a Singapore-based role within Firmable Pte Ltd, working closely with the ANZ sales team through daily overlap.

We are an AI-native organisation. AI isn’t a tool we reach for: it’s the default operating mode. If you’re not already working this way, this role isn’t right for you.

Firmable is an equal opportunity employer. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds.
