• Manage a team of 6–10 Sales Development Representatives.
• Improve conversion across inbound lead sources by tightening process, prioritization, and follow-up discipline.
• Build a strong operating cadence around metrics, pipeline reviews, coaching, performance management, and team accountability.

• Partner with Marketing, Revenue Operations, Enablement, and sales leadership to improve funnel quality, routing, messaging, and pipeline efficiency.
