This is a role for leaders who operate with speed, intensity, and precision. You'll shape outbound strategy, enforce a high-performance culture, and raise the bar on execution across messaging, sequencing, qualification, and funnel conversion.

We're building a team that competes hard, moves fast, and wins - and your leadership will set the tone.

• Competitive positioning: Train the team to position Square's integrated ecosystem as the modern, efficient, high-value alternative in the market.
• Forecasting & reporting: Own pipeline forecasting and deliver clear, data-backed insights to Sales leadership.
• Territory and ICP alignment: Collaborate across Sales, Marketing, and Sales Ops to refine ICP, prioritize accounts, and optimize outbound coverage.
• Experiment & scale: Test new messaging, channels, and tactics. Operationalize what works; eliminate what doesn't.

• Develop elite outbound talent: Coach and mentor BDRs across call execution, active listening, objection handling, and qualification discipline.
• Build a performance culture: Create a metrics-driven environment grounded in accountability, consistency, and continuous improvement.
• Operational excellence: Implement scalable onboarding, coaching frameworks, and performance management systems that support rapid growth.
• Cross-functional alignment: Partner closely with Sales Enablement and Marketing to ensure outbound campaigns and plays land with precision.
• Data-driven management: Use Salesforce, Outreach, and analytics tools to inspect activity, monitor conversion trends, and drive targeted coaching.

You have:

• 3+ years in Sales Development, Business Development, or outbound sales, including 1+ year in a leadership or coaching capacity.
