Outreach infuses agentic AI, conversation intelligence, and assistive AI to power hundreds of use cases across revenue motions. From new logo prospecting to expansions, deal acceleration, driving retention, and forecasting, Outreach AI automates workflows and frees sellers to focus on more strategic conversations and actions. Revenue leaders benefit from connected account visibility, performance insights, and higher forecasting accuracy across every GTM team. World leading enterprise organizations use Outreach to power their revenue teams, including Databricks, SAP, Siemens, and Verizon to name a few.

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.

You’ll lead a team of 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: This role is located in Atlanta on a hybrid model – 3 days in office.

• Measuring and reporting against KPIs, as well as creating reports as needed or requested by senior management
• Preparing for and contributing to status or ad hoc meetings
• Delivering upon other responsibilities as deemed appropriate by senior management

Our Vision of You

• You are results‑oriented and able to motivate others to achieve
• Leadership experience preferred but not required
• 2 years minimum additional previous sales experience
