Responsibilities

• Work with executive leadership to turn company priorities into quarterly and monthly outbound campaign plans tied to revenue targets, AWS and Azure priorities, vertical markets, product launches, industry events, and competitive and expansion opportunities

• Run weekly operating reviews with Sales leadership on pipeline performance, territory coverage and white space, enterprise account penetration, and upcoming campaigns, and agree together on priorities and resources
• Review booked meetings before they go to Account Executives, so each one carries documented pain points, stakeholders, and cloud environment, not just a calendar invite
• Meet weekly with Account Executives on meeting quality, show rates, and handoff standards, so more SQLs become real opportunities
• Partner with Alliances leadership on joint campaigns around AWS and Microsoft events, co-sell opportunities (including AWS ACE), marketplace deals, win wires, account mapping, and joint account planning
• Work with the demand generation and events teams so inbound, event, and partner-sourced leads get timely follow-up and become booked meetings
• Own measurement for all SDR and campaign activity, including campaign-sourced pipeline, campaign ROI, response, meeting, and opportunity rates, sequence performance, and SDR productivity
• Use the data to improve messaging, targeting, campaign design, and where the team spends its time
• Report weekly to the Head of Marketing on activity, SQLs, Sales Accepted Leads, pipeline created, and conversion by source, with a plan for any gaps
• Present results, recommendations, and outlook to executive leadership and for board reporting
• Recruit, interview, and hire SDRs who can meet the bar from day one
• Manage SmartLead, Waalaxy, and Nooks and keep HubSpot data clean, so the team spends its time selling and the numbers can be trusted

• Run the SDR compensation plan, contests, and recognition so incentives reward the results the company needs
