As the EMEA Manager of Business Development, you will be responsible for driving the success of a  team of BDRs across the SMB segment. This role involves leading both inbound and outbound efforts equally, ensuring a balanced focus on generating new business opportunities from both inbound leads and proactive outbound prospecting. You will play a key role in building a robust sales pipeline while also developing a talent pool that feeds into the wider sales organisation, contributing to long-term growth and success.

This is a remote opportunity within the UK.

• Leadership: Demonstrated ability to guide and inspire a team, creating a culture of accountability, motivation, and success.

• Communication: Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to clearly articulate ideas and feedback across all levels.

• 4+ Years Experience in SaaS: Proven experience in building and managing BDR/SDR teams, or experience in BDR/SDR roles all the way to closing deals, with the ability to develop themselves into a leadership role.

• Results-Oriented: A strong focus on achieving targets, driving pipeline growth, and delivering measurable outcomes.

• Teamwork & Collaboration: A collaborative approach that fosters strong relationships across departments to achieve shared goals.

• Growth Mindset: Openness to continuous learning and improvement, with a passion for personal and team development.

• Curiosity & Adaptability: A desire to stay ahead of trends, with the ability to pivot and adapt strategies based on changing market conditions.

• Tech-Savvy: Comfortable working with sales and marketing technologies such as Salesforce, Outreach, and LinkedIn Sales Navigator.

• Organisation & Time Management: Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities, ensuring deadlines and targets are met.

What you can expect:

• Balanced Lead Generation: You will oversee both inbound and outbound lead generation, ensuring a strategic focus on building and maintaining a balanced sales pipeline across SMB.

• Team Development and Career Growth: You’ll be responsible for developing a pool of talent by identifying high-potential BDRs and preparing them for future roles within the sales team.

• High-Performance Culture: Foster an environment of collaboration, innovation, and accountability that motivates the team to continuously improve and meet their goals.

• Process Improvement and Efficiency: You’ll work on continuously optimising lead generation and follow-up processes, ensuring that the team operates with maximum efficiency and effectiveness.

• Continuous Learning and Development: You’ll have the opportunity to enhance your leadership skills while supporting your team in building their own sales development and pipeline generation skills.

• Cutting-Edge Technology: Utilise an advanced tech stack, including Salesforce, Outreach, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, and more, to support your team in achieving the best results.

• Collaboration Across Teams: Work closely with Marketing, Sales, and other departments to align strategies and maximise overall business impact.

• Travel:There may be occasional travel required for company meetings or marketing events, with the opportunity to collaborate in different markets and regions

We believe in the power of remote work, but we also recognize that some in-person connection with team members and customers is important to help us achieve our mission. While we are a remote-first company, occasional travel for in-person engagement will be a part of this role. This may include but is not limited to bi-annual department-wide offsites, quarterly department meetings and periodic customer events. These events will typically be held in varying locations across EMEA, Canada and/or the USA. In leadership roles, you can expect to travel once per month on average.
