About the Role

We’re building the next generation of AI-powered sales software—and pipeline is our lifeblood. As an AI Native company building software for sales teams, our credibility starts with our own go‑to‑market execution. This role is critical in shaping how we apply AI to prospecting, engagement, and pipeline generation—serving as both a growth engine and a proving ground for our product.

You won’t just lead an SDR team—you’ll help define what modern, AI‑powered sales development looks like. We’re looking for a strategic, execution‑oriented SDR leader to scale our Global and Enterprise pipeline engine.

This role requires a rare blend: someone who can architect a modern, AI‑first outbound SDR strategy while staying deeply involved in today‑to‑day execution. You’ll lead a team of one front line manager and 15 SDRs driving highly targeted, insight‑led engagement into complex Enterprise and Global accounts. The successful candidate will be a natural coach, giving timely development and feedback enabling their team to ramp quickly.

You’ll partner closely with Sales, Marketing, Product, and RevOps to ensure our go‑to‑market motion reflects how modern buyers evaluate and adopt AI‑driven sales technology.

Location: Atlanta, GA (In office 3 days/week)

• Lead, coach, and develop a front line SDR manager and a team of ~15 SDRs

Stay Close to the Work (Player‑Coach)

• Inspect pipeline and account strategies at a granular level
• Coach reps on high‑impact messaging, personalization, and executive‑level conversations
• Jump into strategic accounts to help unlock opportunities or navigate complex deals
• Test and iterate on new outbound plays, sequences, and AI‑driven workflows

• Strong analytical mindset—comfortable using data, dashboards, and AI tools to drive decisions
