As Sales Manager, your primary responsibility is to own lead stewardship and conversion across the SDR organization. This role is measured by the team's ability to consistently convert inbound and outbound opportunities into high-quality, revenue-generating sellers.

You will coach, mentor, and develop SDRs, ensuring strong sales fundamentals, clear qualification standards, and consistent performance across the team. You are also responsible for training and onboarding new cohorts, reinforcing best practices, and creating a culture of accountability, urgency, and continuous improvement. You will manage pipeline health, enforce CRM hygiene, and ensure leads are worked thoroughly and efficiently. In close partnership with leadership, you will translate company revenue goals into clear execution plans, ensuring the SDR team meets or exceeds weekly and monthly targets. Own qualified seller acquisition, delivering the right sellers, inventory value, and category coverage in line with business needs.
