The Role

As BDR Manager, you'll lead a team of five outbound BDRs focused on generating pipeline across SMB and Mid-Market merchants. You'll report directly to the UK CEO and play a key role in shaping how we prospect, hire, coach and grow the team.

This isn't a role where you're expected to maintain an existing playbook. We're looking for someone who enjoys building things; someone who sees opportunities to improve how a team operates and has the initiative to make them happen.

You'll have ownership over hiring, onboarding, coaching, outbound strategy and day-to-day team performance, while working closely with Sales Leadership, Marketing, CRM, Sales Strategy and other global teams.

 

You Will

 

  • Lead, coach and develop a team of outbound BDRs.
  • Build a high-performance culture in a hybrid working environment.
  • Partner with AEs to maximise pipeline generation across SMB and Mid-Market.
  • Hire and onboard new BDRs as the team grows.
  • Continuously improve outbound strategy, messaging and account targeting.
  • Partner with Marketing, CRM and Sales Strategy to improve how the team operates.
  • Experiment with new tools, AI capabilities and ways of working.
  • Use data to identify opportunities and improve team performance.

You Have

  • Experience managing an outbound sales or business development team.
  • A track record of hiring, coaching and developing high-performing sales talent.
  • Confidence in managing performance.
  • Experience improving outbound strategy rather than simply executing an existing playbook.
  • Strong cross-functional stakeholder management skills.
  • A data-driven approach to coaching and decision-making.
  • Curiosity around AI and modern sales technology.
