We rely on our Sales Development Representative Manager to:

• Manage the SDR team, ensuring that the team is carrying out Salesloft campaigns with current messaging, measuring success of outreach and frequency, and adjusting future activities to increase pipeline
• Coach SDRs daily through live call shadowing, call recording reviews, and 1:1s, using Salesloft data to identify patterns, skill gaps, and coaching moments across the team
• Run and refine the outbound cadence and sequencing strategy in Salesloft, ensuring SDRs are executing plays consistently and effectively
• Make cold calls to model best practices, jump into live coaching moments, and stay close enough to the work to coach with credibility
• Own and continuously refine the lead qualification process (e.g., BANT), tightening criteria based on what converts downstream
• Drive team quota attainment for qualified meetings/opportunities and overall pipeline contribution
• Analyze call and activity data in Gong and Salesloft to spot trends, identify top performer behaviors, and scale them across the team
• Deliver structured feedback loops: call scorecards, roleplay sessions, and skill-building programs tied to specific competencies (discovery, objection handling, qualification, best practices, government trends)
• Create and build automation rules and flows in Salesloft and Gong
• Partner with Sales and Marketing leadership to align qualification standards, messaging, and lead routing
• Hire, onboard, and ramp new SDRs against a clear coaching and LMS platform
• Work with Regional Sales Directors, VP of Sales, and VP of Marketing to ensure quality assurance and proper lead qualification for additional coaching
• Assist with tasks assigned by VP of Marketing with input from the VP of Sales, Regional Sales Directors, and Chief Revenue Officer
