Full Job Description
This leader owns Viking's full top-of-funnel - across four pillars: Sales Development (Inbound and Outbound), Marketing, eCommerce, and Digital.

Primary Duties and Responsibilities:

Sales Development (Inbound & Outbound)
  • Own the Sales Development function end to end - both Inbound qualification and Outbound prospecting.
  • Build the Inbound motion: rapid speed-to-lead on qualified web, eCommerce, and Request for Quote inquiries; consistent qualification criteria; clean handoff to Channel Partners.
  • Build the Outbound motion: target-account strategy, cadences, and playbooks aligned to Viking's priority segments.
  • Set the Sale Development Representative (SDR) targets, coach performance, and create a clear career path from SDR to quota-carrying roles.
  • Responsible for defining and aligning the criteria a potential customer must meet to move through each stage of the sales pipeline, including Service Level Agreements, and reporting in partnership with Sales.


Marketing
  • Own the demand plan: set targets, channel mix, and investment allocation to double marketing-sourced pipeline.
  • Build Good / Better / Best product-marketing positioning and sales enablement for core and adjacent applications.
  • Oversee creation of technical expertise into scalable, AI enabled content and campaigns.
  • Orchestrate with digital teams to implement integrated and standalone campaigns across web, SEO, SEM, email, events, and channel marketing.


eCommerce
  • Lead the launch and operation of the hybrid eCommerce route to market: RFQ path for engineered solutions and checkout path for standard products and spares.
  • Own eCommerce logic, pricing rules, and merchandising.
  • Drive adoption, conversion, and customer experience performance as measurable business outcomes - not vanity metrics.
  • Deliver the targeted $3M-$5M of accretive revenue, with a clear Quad 3 focus.


Digital
  • Own VikingPump.com, VikingConnect, and SmartSitePlus - publishing velocity, UX hygiene, SEO health, and conversion performance.
  • Own product data quality, attribute governance, and media workflows that feed every customer-facing surface.
  • Partner with Corporate teams on platform, architecture, and integration.
  • Use AI deliberately in sizing, selection, content generation, and lifecycle communication to move from 1:1 to 1:many.


Team & Cross-Functional Leadership
  • Lead a team across all four pillars; recruit, develop, and retain talent that can scale the function without scaling headcount linearly.
  • Embed governance: clear ownership, decision rights, and metrics across intake, content, campaigns, and the funnel.
  • Work with Commercial / Channel on handoffs, flow, and metrics from interest 14 quote 14 order 14 fulfillment.


Education and/or Experience Requirements:
  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent professional experience required.
  • 5+ years in B2B commercial leadership roles, with clear ownership of a revenue or pipeline number.
  • Proven record building or scaling a Sales Development function (Inbound and Outbound) - hiring, coaching, quota design, tooling, and MQL12SQL discipline.
  • Hands-on experience launching or scaling B2B eCommerce - ideally a hybrid RFQ + checkout model with channel-partner alignment.
  • Strong grasp of product-marketing, including positioning, packaging, and sales enablement for tiered offerings.
  • Understanding of web properties, SEO/SEM, and content operations as measurable revenue drivers.


Other Special Requirements:
  • Commercially literate - comfortable owning a revenue number, not just an activity number.
  • Analytical - fluent with funnel math, attribution, cohort behavior, SDR unit economics, and the economics of demand.
  • Systems-minded - you design for repeatability, governance, and 1:many leverage rather than 1:1 heroics.
  • Operator's instinct - you ship, measure, and iterate; you don't wait for perfect.
  • Strong partner - credible with Sales, Application Engineering, Operations, and IT; builds trust quickly.
  • People leader - attracts talent, sets clear expectations, and develops the next layer of leaders.
  • Certain positions with IDEX Corporation and its business units require access to controlled goods and technologies subject to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations or the Export Administration Regulations.
