• Drive a high-performance culture through hands-on leadership, daily accountability, and consistent attainment of quota and key performance metrics.
• Own pipeline targets, forecasting, performance reporting, and communication with Zuddl leadership.

What We’re Looking For

• Experience: At least 3 years of exceptional B2B outbound experience in tech/SaaS, including 12 months of SDR management experience, with the most recent relevant experience current or having ended within the last 6 months.
