About the Role

We're hiring a BDR Manager to own the performance, development, and culture of our BDR team alongside our current BDR Manager. You'll lead your own group of Business Development Representatives across multiple levels that feed 4-6 Account Executives each - and you'll be the connective tissue between your BDRs, AEs, and Marketing.

You'll own team pipeline quota and forecast accuracy, build the playbooks and onboarding programs that make new reps productive fast, and set the bar for how a modern, AI-native BDR org operates. You'll report directly to the Head of Business Development.

This is a hands-on people-management role for an operator who loves coaching reps, building systems, and using AI to compound the team's output.

What You'll Do

Hire, onboard, and ramp new BDRs across all levels (P1, P2, Senior BDR) to productivity.

Run weekly 1:1s with BDRs, team-wide meetings, and performance reviews.

Build and maintain playbooks, sequences, and training programs that scale as the team grows.

Partner with Sales leadership and Marketing on go-to-market strategy, campaigns, and messaging.

Identify and manage performance improvement processes for reps who are off-track.

Champion AI adoption across the team - set expectations for Claude usage at every level, evaluate new use cases, and roll out what works.

Manage and build in person - Our growth and culture is a direct result of being in office 5x/week.
