Manager, Sales Development
Accredible
Sales & Business Development
🚀 Join the team powering the future of digital credentials!
Accredible, the world's leading digital credential platform, is seeking an experienced and people-first Manager, Sales Development to lead and elevate our SDR function at a critical inflection point in our growth. This is a newly created role and represents a genuine opportunity to shape the pipeline engine of a fast-scaling, mission-driven SaaS company.
You'll take ownership of a team of reps across multiple outbound motions and provide the structured leadership, coaching, and accountability they need to reach and sustain productivity. If you're a hands-on manager who gets energized by developing people and building something that lasts, we'd love to hear from you.
🎯 Who you are
💡 Why join the talent network?
You're an experienced sales development leader who has built and scaled SDR Teams in previous roles. You're not here to manage activity counts; you're here to build capability, drive pipeline quality, and operate with data-driven precision. You thrive in a building environment, bring structure without rigidity, and know how to translate strategy into a repeatable and scalable outbound motion.
💻 What you’ll be doing
🤝 What we look for
- Running structured 1:1s, call reviews, and a deliberate skills development cadence for each rep in a hands-on, daily engagement role.
- Operationalizing outbound frameworks at the rep level, ensuring sequences are being executed to standard and closing gaps between process design and rep behavior.
- Developing a deep command of Accredible's ICP - verticals, org size, buyer personas, trigger events and holding the team accountable to list quality and targeting discipline.
- Working closely with Demand Gen, RevOps, and Sales leadership to align SDR activity with go-to-market campaigns, messaging, and target account lists.
- Owning the SDR performance funnel including activity metrics, meeting metrics, and pipeline sourced.
- Analyzing data and metrics to communicate clearly to leadership about what's working and what isn't.
- Diagnosing and improving connect rates through better targeting, messaging refinement, channel mix, and timing strategy.
- Maintaining Salesforce data hygiene standards and clean disposition practices across the team.
🧠 How we work
You'll work closely with our CEO, Sales Leadership, Demand Gen and RevOps. You'll lead a team of SDRs covering mid-market outbound, expansion outbound, and enterprise business development. This is a collaborative, high-accountability environment where pipeline visibility, stakeholder alignment, and rep development are all taken seriously.
🌟 Why you’ll love it here
- Competitive Salary + Variable tied to team pipeline contribution
- 35 Days Annual Vacation
- 100% Paid Medical, Vision & Dental Insurance for you and your dependants
- Equity Options
- Flexible Leave Policies
- Life Insurance & Employee Assistance Programs
- Remote Work Flexibility
- Two hours per week (paid) to spend learning anything you like related to your role, plus a budget to spend on learning materials (courses, books, conferences). We love education and we believe in nurturing your growth!
- A promise to invest in your growth personally and professionally. Wherever you would like to go and whatever you would like to do, we will be there to support you.
- Many additional perks!
👀 What we’re looking for
Sales Development Leadership: 3-5 years in B2B SaaS sales or sales development, with demonstrated experience leading an SDR or BDR team. This is not a first-time manager role, a proven track record of building and leading an Sales Development team is required.
Coaching Orientation: The most important filter. You can speak concretely to how you've developed early-career reps through structured call review cadences, rep scorecards, deliberate skill development, and clear ramp expectations.
Connect Rate Improvement: Demonstrated ability to diagnose and improve connect rates through targeting, messaging, channel mix, or timing.
Data & Analytics Mindset: Comfortable owning a performance dashboard, diagnosing funnel gaps, and making decisions from numbers. Salesforce proficiency required; familiarity with Apollo, Gong, or similar tools strongly preferred.
ICP & List Building Fluency: Experience building or refining ICP definitions, evaluating list quality, and coaching reps on targeting precision over activity volume.
Process Operator: You take frameworks and make them real. You translate strategy into consistent daily rep behavior without losing sight of the bigger pipeline picture.
Collaborative: Work cross-functionally with Marketing, RevOps, and Sales to ensure the SDR team is plugged in and pulling in the same direction.
Adaptable: Comfortable in a building environment — you don't need a fully built system handed to you; you're energized by creating one.
