Job Description
Business Development Representative – Manager
Cobalt
• Manage, coach, and develop a team of outbound BDRs across North America and EMEA time zones. • Run regular 1:1s, call reviews, and pipeline coaching to improve conversion at each funnel stage. • Coach reps on executive-level communication, discovery, account research, and strategic prospecting for enterprise and mid-market conversations. • Own hiring, onboarding, and ramp planning for the outbound team. • Set and manage quotas, and hold reps accountable to activity and outcome metrics. • Drive improvements to messaging, sequencing, and personalization. • Build a high-performance, low-ego team culture rooted in continuous improvement and candid feedback. • Partner with Growth Marketing and Sales leadership to translate campaign and ABM priorities into outbound execution. • Own the outbound contribution to SQO targets; report on pipeline health, conversion, and forecast accuracy. • Establish operational rigor around activity metrics, conversion rates, and pipeline quality, ensuring consistent execution across the team. • Diagnose and fix bottlenecks in the outbound funnel (deliverability, response rates, meeting-to-SQO conversion). • Bring front-line market and prospect feedback back to Growth Marketing and Sales leadership to sharpen targeting and messaging. • Partner cross-functionally with Growth Marketing and RevOps to co-own and maximize the performance of our inbound AI SDR engine. • Monitor response quality, conversion, and escalation accuracy; drive iterative improvements to prompts, routing logic, and qualification criteria. • Recommend and implement process changes to improve human/AI handoff on inbound leads.
Job Requirements
- 5+ years managing an outbound BDR/SDR team in cybersecurity.
- Demonstrated ability to build process, not just execute an existing one: you've written a playbook, fixed a broken funnel, or stood up a program with limited resources.
- Proven track record hitting SQO/pipeline targets through a managed outbound team.
- Experience managing distributed teams across multiple time zones.
- Hands-on fluency with sales engagement tooling (Salesloft or Outreach), sales intelligence tools (Apollo, ZoomInfo, LinkedIn Sales Navigator), AI SDR tools (Qualified), and dialers (Orum, Nooks).
- Comfort working with or overseeing AI-assisted sales tooling: you don't need to build it, but you need to evaluate and improve it.
- Strong analytical skills; you can read a funnel report and immediately spot where the leak is.
- Direct communication style; comfortable giving and receiving candid feedback.
- High tolerance for ambiguity and fast iteration; you're energized by "figure it out" environments, not looking for a fully built machine.
Benefits
- Earn competitive compensation and an attractive equity plan.
- Save for the future with a 401(k) program (US) or pension (EU).
- Benefit from medical, dental, vision and life insurance (US) or statutory healthcare (EU).
- Leverage stipends for wellness, work-from-home equipment & wifi, and learning & development.
- Make the most of our flexible, generous paid time off and paid parental leave.
