Requirements
  • 0→1 Builder: The desire to build an outbound motion from scratch including ICP definition, sequencing strategy, messaging frameworks, and performance systems. You don't wait for a playbook
  • you write it. You're energized by the early-stage ambiguity that comes with building something new and know how to create structure without slowing things down.
  • Coaching Depth: You have a proven track record of elevating early-career SDRs through deliberate, high-frequency coaching. You run call reviews, email workshops, and skill development sessions with rigor and consistency — and you can point to specific reps whose trajectory changed because of how you developed them.
  • Outbound Craft: You have deep expertise in persona-specific messaging, cold outreach sequencing, and multi-channel personalization. You understand what makes a great first touch, why most outbound fails, and how to build a team that generates pipeline through quality, not just volume.
  • Operational Rigor: You implement data-driven systems as a matter of habit. Activity tracking, conversion analysis, funnel math, pipeline attribution — these are how you diagnose performance and run the business. You partner naturally with RevOps to build dashboards and reporting that drive action, not just visibility.
  • Technical Product Fluency: Reducto sells a technically sophisticated product to engineering and AI teams. You can quickly internalize a complex value proposition and translate it into messaging that resonates with both technical and business buyers — and you can coach your team to do the same.
  • Cross-Functional Drive: You partner fluidly with AEs, Marketing, and RevOps. You bring AEs into account planning and multi-threading strategy, work with Marketing to operationalize intent signals and campaigns, and align with GTM leadership on segmentation and ICP as the market evolves.
Job Responsibility
Job Responsibility
  • Hire, onboard, and ramp a high-performing onsite SDR team in San Francisco

  • Implement data-driven systems for activity tracking, conversion analysis, and pipeline attribution — turn metrics into coaching and decision-making inputs
  • Run daily coaching rhythms including call reviews, email workshops, and structured skill development sessions
  • Partner with AEs on territory structure, account planning, and multi-threading strategy to maximize outbound-to-pipeline conversion
  • Collaborate with RevOps to build dashboards, routing logic, and reporting infrastructure that keeps the team accountable and leadership informed
  • Work with Marketing to operationalize intent signals, field events, and top-of-funnel campaigns into actionable SDR outreach
  • Set performance standards and build a high-accountability, high-learning culture where SDRs grow quickly and consistently hit their numbers
