Position Overview:

We're looking for a quota-driven, coaching-obsessed SDR Manager to own the entire meetings-booked engine.

• Perform regular QA checks and produce a weekly performance dashboard.
• Hire, onboard, and ramp new SDRs with a focus on quality and speed.
• Collaborate with automation specialists on tools, dashboards, and workflows.
• Partner closely with Career Coaches to ensure interview conversion and tighten feedback loops.

Expected Results:

• Double the number of interviews booked per week by Day 75.
• Achieve a 2x improvement in cold email reply rate.
• Team NPS of 8/10 on quarterly internal survey.

Qualifications:

• 2+ years managing a pod of 5-10 SDRs/BDRs with cold email as the primary pipeline.
• Proven success improving team meeting quota or reply rates by 20%+.
• Fluent in CRM tools and cold outreach platforms.
• Metrics-obsessed: You spot bottlenecks and fix them with data.
• Servant leader mindset; in the trenches daily, helping the team succeed.
• High accountability: You own the quota as much as your team does.
• Skilled in giving and implementing tactical feedback.

Nice-to-Haves:

• Experience in recruiting, staffing, or sales bootcamps.
• Have personally used cold email to land jobs or opportunities.
• Familiarity with Clay, Apollo, or AI personalization tools.
