This is a hands-on, player-coach role. You'll develop a team of SDRs to establish clear standards for qualification and handoffs, and step into priority conversations or coverage gaps when needed. You will use data-driven decision-making, call reviews, and regular coaching to improve speed-to-lead, meeting conversion, show rates, opportunity acceptance, and pipeline creation.

This role partners closely with Growth leadership, Software Sales, Marketing, Revenue Operations, and other cross-functional teams to align demand generation with sales capacity and turn frontline prospect feedback into better campaigns, processes, and customer experiences.

• Lead, coach, and develop a team of Development Reps to consistently meet goals for response time, qualification, meetings booked, show rate, accepted opportunities, and pipeline creation.
• Own the team's rotating coverage model across calls, live chat, form submissions, email replies, and other inbound channels, balancing service levels, lead volume, and team capacity.
• Develop repeatable, scalable processes that expand pipelines through direct, signal-based outbound prospecting, contact nurture, and high-intent retargeting workflows.
• Build onboarding and ongoing enablement for Eventeny's solutions, buyer personas, discovery questions, objection handling, qualification standards, and CRM workflows.
• Establish and maintain a consistent qualification and handoff process so Software Sales Specialists receive timely meetings, accurate context, and actionable notes.
• Own SDR reporting and operating rhythms, including dashboards, weekly performance reviews, capacity planning, and clear communication of risks, trends, and opportunities to Growth leadership.
• Maintain strong CRM discipline in HubSpot, including lead routing, activity capture, ownership, data quality, and follow-up standards.
• Partner with Marketing to improve lead quality, campaign follow-up, and speed-to-lead; partner with Software Sales to improve meeting quality, acceptance criteria, and closed-loop feedback.
• Travel may be expected from time to time for conferences and business development efforts
• Develop scalable playbooks for inbound conversion, outbound reply handling, AI-assisted outreach responses, lead recycling, and supplemental prospecting during non-peak periods.
• Maintain a deep understanding of Eventeny's platform and model customer empathy, ethical selling, and clear communication in every interaction.

Here’s what we are looking for

• A self-directed, highly organized, and resilient leadership style and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, changing start-up environment.
• Defers to data to make decisions and communicate with cross-functional teams. 
• A commitment to customer empathy, ethical business practices, inclusive leadership, and high-quality prospect experiences.
