Skilljar is seeking an experienced candidate to lead our Account Development team and help lead our pipeline creation efforts, in addition to remaining hands-on in the role. The successful candidate will lead by example - measuring, monitoring, and holding SDRs accountable for their daily activities, results, and professional development, while consistently crushing their own goals.

• Refine the sales pitch and process to achieve target results (qualified opportunities for Skilljar account executives according to BANT).
• Provide daily, side-by-side coaching and call monitoring.
• Establish metrics and help the team improve by understanding their performance on a daily basis.
• Partner with Finance to compile weekly/monthly team reports, proactively working to improve the cadence and throughput of sales development resources.
• Partner with Marketing to manage the inbound lead flow and track the efficiency of sales and marketing programs.
• Oversee usage of team systems including HubSpot, Outreach, ZoomInfo, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, and more.
• Work closely with Sales and Marketing leadership to ensure the success of online marketing campaigns.
• Help create a fun, high energy environment where people love coming to work.
• Be a thought leader in how Skilljar can bring our product to every customer-obsessed company.

Requirements:

• 3+ years of B2B Sales, Account Development, or Inside Sales experience, preferably in technology-based products and/or services.
• At least 18 months of Inside Sales Management experience and proven success as a manager (recruiting, training, performance management) in a fast-growth environment
• A solid understanding of metrics related to top of the funnel and pipeline dynamics in Commercial and Enterprise B2B buying cycles 
• Experience selling into mid-market B2B companies strongly preferred (5 or 6 digit annual contracts, solution sale through RFP process).
• Excellent working knowledge of inbound & outbound teleprospecting technologies and tools.
• A deep sense of ownership, accountability, and passion for your work
• An ability to interact effectively with all levels of management and with multiple departments including sales, marketing, product marketing, and services.
