About the Opportunity:

TENEX is scaling its inbound and outbound sales engine, and this is the front-line leader who builds and runs it. You'll hire, coach, and manage a team of 8+ Inside Sales Representatives selling MDR into SMB and midmarket accounts. You own the number for the team - pipeline, conversion, and quota attainment across both inbound and outbound motions.

  • Coach live. You'll run call reviews, pipeline reviews, and deal strategy sessions to sharpen every rep.
  • Hire and ramp. You'll recruit and onboard new reps as the team grows, managing performance against clear ramp and quota targets.
  • Partner cross-functionally. You'll work with marketing on inbound lead flow and with sales engineering on technical deal support.
  • Run the operating rhythm. You'll manage Salesforce hygiene, reporting, and team metrics, and report results and forecast to leadership.
What You Bring:
  • 2+ years managing an inside sales or SDR/AE team, plus prior quota-carrying experience.
  • A track record of building or scaling teams that hit quota across both inbound and outbound motions.
  • Strong coaching ability - you can teach discovery, demo, and closing and lift rep performance.
  • Data-driven pipeline and forecast management; fluent in Salesforce reporting.
  • Excellent communication and the ability to recruit, motivate, and retain sales talent.
Bonus Points:

  • Familiarity with sales methodologies (MEDDIC, Challenger, Sandler) and enablement tooling.
Education & Certifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in Business, Communications, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
  • Relevant certifications such as Salesforce Administrator are a plus.
Why Join Us?
  • Opportunity to build and lead a growing inside sales team as TENEX scales its SMB and midmarket engine.
