Enterprise Development Manager

Giga Energy•Houston, TX

About The Position

At Giga , we develop, build, and operate AI energy infrastructure that powers the modern world. And we’re on a mission to fix the broken energy infrastructure experience — permanently. Our vertically integrated approach stacks site origination and development, infrastructure manufacturing, and power market participation under one operating system. Founded in Texas, Giga partners with AI hyperscalers, data center operators and other energy infrastructure teams to deliver projects faster. Why Join Us The Pace: You will own projects moving faster than anywhere else in the industry. The Impact: You are the person who turns "concepts" into "contracts" and "permits." The Team: Work with a world-class group of engineers and builders defining the future of AI infrastructure. What You'll Do Giga is building the commercial engine that will power the next generation of energy infrastructure — from AI data centers to utility-scale power. We have the product, the pipeline, and the ambition. What we need now is someone to build the outbound machine that fills the top of the funnel with the right conversations. As our Enterprise Development Manager , you'll build Giga's SDR function from the ground up. This isn't a role where you inherit a team and optimize — it's a role where you design the playbook, hire the people, set the cadence, and create the pipeline generation engine that fuels multi-million-dollar enterprise deals across the Data Center Industry. You'll own the strategy, the team, and the number. You'll work directly with our sales leadership to define the ICP, build outbound sequences, establish qualification frameworks, and create a repeatable motion that scales. The buyers you're going after are hyperscalers, data center developers, utilities, and C-suite decision makers at some of the largest companies in the world — so the bar for quality, messaging, and business acumen is high. This role is for someone who has built outbound teams before and is currently a frontline leader, knows what good looks like, and is ready to do it again at a company where the market opportunity is massive and the pace is fast. If you get energy from creating something from nothing — and from coaching a team to perform at a level they didn't think was possible — this is the job. Where You'll Work This role will be based in our Houston office. You must be willing to work in the office full-time, outside of our bi-weekly WFH Fridays. Employees will be able to work remotely for up to 4 weeks per year. We're onsite because velocity matters when you're building physical infrastructure. Solving complex problems in real-time with Manufacturing, Engineering, and Finance leaders is how we move faster than a slow, antiquated industry.

Requirements

3 - 5 + years of experience in B2B sales development or inside sales, with at least 2 years in a frontline people management role.
Track record of building an outbound function or SDR team from early stage — you've designed playbooks, hired and ramped reps, and built the processes that drive predictable pipeline
Experience selling into enterprise accounts with complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles and deal sizes of $1M+
Proven ability to recruit, develop, and retain high-performing SDRs — you know how to identify raw talent, coach it, and create an environment where people grow fast
Strong command of sales development tools and CRM platforms (e.g., Salesforce, Outreach, Apollo, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, ZoomInfo, or equivalent)
Data-driven approach to managing performance — you set clear KPIs, inspect what you expect, and make decisions based on conversion data, not gut feel
Excellent written and verbal communication skills — you can craft outbound messaging that earns a reply from a VP at a Fortune 500 company, and you can coach your team to do the same
Leads from the front — in the early days, you'll roll up your sleeves to shape the playbook, validate the process, and set the standard — not as an IC, but as a leader who knows what great looks like and builds the team and systems to get there.
Comfort with ambiguity and speed — Giga operates in a fast-moving market with multiple business units. You thrive in environments where the playbook doesn't exist yet and you have to write it

Nice To Haves

Experience in energy, power infrastructure, data centers, or climate tech industries
Familiarity with Top EPCs. General and Electrical Contractors along with AI infrastructure, hyperscaler buying processes, or colocation/turnkey data center sales
Experience at a high-growth startup where you built the SDR function during a period of rapid scaling (Series B–D or equivalent stage)
Background as a top-performing SDR or AE before moving into management — you've carried a bag and know what it takes
Experience with Greenhouse ATS, Gong, or similar revenue intelligence tools
Familiarity with account-based marketing (ABM) strategies and how SDR outbound integrates with marketing-led demand generation
