- Define, track, and report on team KPIs (activity metrics, conversion rates, pipeline contribution) and use data to drive continuous performance improvements
- Partner with Sales leadership to ensure strong SDR-to-AE handoff quality, alignment on ICPs, and seamless progression of qualified opportunities into the pipeline
- Collaborate with Marketing to optimize lead routing, follow-up cadences, and campaign responsiveness to maximize inbound efficiency
- Work with Sales Enablement and HR to own SDR recruitment, onboarding, certification, and career development programs that attract and retain top talent

- Foster a culture of accountability, continuous learning, and high performance within the team
What You'll Bring- 3-5+ years of experience in sales development or inside sales, with at least 2 years in a management or team lead capacity, preferably within cybersecurity, SaaS, or enterprise IT
- Proven track record of building and managing SDR teams that consistently meet or exceed pipeline contribution goals
- Strong understanding of outbound prospecting methodologies, pipeline management, and the enterprise sales cycle
