Bdr Manager Jobs (NOW HIRING)

M3 (www.m3as.com) is a leading provider of hospitality-specific software solutions, delivering cloud-based tools for hotel accounting, financial reporting, labor management, payroll, and business intelligence. Built by hoteliers for hoteliers, M3 empowers hotel owners, operators, and management companies to streamline back-office operations, reduce costs, gain real-time insights, and drive portfolio performance across thousands of properties in North America and beyond.

Description Summary:        

The M3 BDR Manager is a high-impact leadership role responsible for building, coaching, and driving the performance of M3's Business Development Representative team. This position is designed as a player-coach role through 2026, with the BDR Manager personally carrying an individual pipeline contribution target while simultaneously managing and developing a team of up to five BDRs. Beginning in 2027, the role transitions to a full-time people management position as the BDR program scales. 

The BDR team is the engine of M3's outbound and inbound pipeline, targeting hospitality management companies, hotel owners, and operators across the United States. The BDR Manager will own team productivity, pipeline quality, SLA compliance, and BDR-to-AE handoff standards in close partnership with Regional Sales Executives (RSEs), Revenue Operations, and Marketing. A background in hospitality or hotel technology is a meaningful advantage but is not required. 

Essential Duties:

The duties listed below are the essential functions of this position, and they may change as the needs of the company demand. All associates are expected to do what is necessary to get the work done and to cooperate fully with their supervisor's requests for additional or altered duties. 

Leadership & Team Development 

• Directly manage a team of 1-5 BDRs, providing day-to-day oversight, coaching, and accountability against defined KPIs.

Candidates are expected to develop working knowledge of M3's ICP - hotel owners, operators, and management companies - during the onboarding period.
