About The Position

Planful is looking for a Sales Development Manager to head up one of our SDR teams as we continue to scale. In this role, you will work closely with our current SDRs to uplevel their current skillset and continue honing their prospecting skills.
You will have an opportunity to help define and identify Planful's best prospects, from directors at mid-sized companies to C-level Fortune 500 executives. Your mission will be to develop, train and hire highly driven SDRs, and help them understand how to connect with prospects, establish rapport, and —most important—articulate Planful’s value proposition in a clear and convincing manner. The knowledge you disseminate as your team interacts with prospects will be foundational to improving Planful’s product, value statement, market positioning, and revenue structure.
You will be a player-coach, working alongside your reps on everything from day-to-day processes to strategizing on their overall career development. The current team exists at ~7-10 reps who run point on all inbound and Lower-MM leads.
