We’re leaning into intelligent tools to streamline our workflows, giving us more time for high-impact innovation. We look for curious, forward-thinking people who are ready to explore how AI can elevate their work and help us reimagine the future of HR.

As a Manager, BDR at BambooHR, you won’t just lead an outbound team—you’ll shape how we approach outbound strategy in Canada.

This is an exciting opportunity to build BambooHR’s first outbound sales team dedicated to Canada. While BambooHR already supports inbound business in the country, this team will establish our Canadian outbound motion. You will play a foundational role in shaping our go-to-market strategy, developing a high-performing team, and creating a repeatable model for sustainable growth in the Canadian market.

This role is ideal for a leader who thrives on building—someone who is not only executing a playbook but also creating one. You’ll collaborate closely with Sales, Marketing, and Revenue Operations to define how we identify, reach, and engage our ideal Canadian customers in meaningful ways.

• Collaborate cross-functionally with Sales and Marketing leaders to shape top-of-funnel programs that drive measurable impact.
• Conduct regular one-on-ones and team coaching sessions to drive accountability, skill development, and career growth.
• Track and report on daily, weekly, and monthly performance metrics to identify trends and opportunities.
• Align outbound prospecting efforts with marketing campaigns, messaging, and ideal customer profiles.
• Leverage CRM and sales engagement tools to analyze performance, optimize workflows, and improve the predictability of results.
• Partner with Sales leadership to ensure smooth handoffs of qualified opportunities and strong collaboration between teams.
• Share Canadian market insights and customer feedback to help refine BambooHR’s go-to-market approach.
• Champion a culture of experimentation and iteration, using data and feedback to evolve our approach and scale best practices.

What You Need to Get the Job Done

• Four to five or more years of sales or business development experience in the SaaS industry.

• Experience using Salesforce or an equivalent CRM and sales engagement tools such as Outreach, Salesloft, or Gong.
