Job OverviewAt ICIMS, we believe the right people can transform a business. As our Sales Development team scales, we're looking for a Manager, Sales Development to build, lead, and grow the next generation of top-performing SDRs. You'll split your time between two critical functions: directly managing a group of SDRs — owning their day-to-day performance, pipeline quality, and development — and serving as a hands-on coach and resource to the broader SDR organization. You'll also play a key role in shaping the team itself, partnering closely with Talent Acquisition and Sales leadership on recruiting, hiring, and onboarding the SDRs who will drive our next stage of growth.
This is a high-visibility role for someone who loves building people as much as building pipeline — someone who can move fluidly between reviewing a call recording, coaching an objection-handling moment, auditing whether an opportunity meets our qualification bar, and sitting in on a candidate interview.
