This is a hands-on role to design, manage, and scale the external SDR programs. You will own the relationships with outsourced/external SDR vendors and ensure they consistently deliver a high-quality pipeline to the sales organisation. Success looks like building the SDR operating model, managing vendor performance, and elevating our client's internal sales team’s prospecting capabilities through training and enablement.
This role is ideal for someone who has "been in the SDR seat," knows what excellent outbound looks like, and can scale that excellence through vendors and training.

- Onboard and manage outsourced SDR vendors; negotiate scopes, expectations, and performance targets
- Build and maintain governance rituals (QBRs, weekly performance reviews, playbook updates) with vendors
- Ensure clear handoffs and feedback loops between vendors, internal sales teams, and marketing
- Translate the ICP, positioning, and messaging into clear guidance for SDR vendors, and ensure they stay current on how we speak about the brand, our products, and our target customers
Design the SDR operating system
- Stand up and continuously refine the prospecting motion, sequences, and data flows in HubSpot and related tools
- Own lead routing and ensure leads are consistently and accurately distributed to the right reps and teams
- Maintain the enablement layer: ICP, personas, messaging, talk tracks, objection handling, and QA standards used by vendors and internal teams
- Instrument dashboards and reporting that make SDR performance, pipeline contribution, and ROI unambiguous
- Partner with leadership on future resourcing decisions (additional vendors, hybrid internal SDR roles, etc.) based on validated learnings
Train and enable internal sales teams on prospecting
- Develop and deliver training programs for AEs and other sales roles on outbound prospecting best practices
- Run live training, call reviews, and coaching sessions focused on list building, outreach quality, and conversion
- Create repeatable assets: playbooks, templates, checklists, and micro-trainings that help reps adopt and sustain strong prospecting habits
- Partner with Sales Leadership and Sales Ops/Enablement to embed prospecting expectations into onboarding and ongoing education
Partner across the org
- Work closely with Sales Leadership, Sales Ops, and Marketing to align targets, territories, handoffs, and reporting
- Collaborate with Marketing on campaign alignment, list strategy, and messaging
