What You’ll Do

Team Leadership & Coaching

• Serve as the day‑to‑day leader across Field and Corporate SDRs, providing tailored coaching that accounts for the distinct playbooks, deal complexity, and buyer profiles of each segment.
• Review calls, emails, LinkedIn touches, and account plans to identify patterns — reinforcing what's working and correcting what isn’t, with specificity for the motion each rep is running.
• Run structured 1:1s and team huddles that create accountability and momentum without micromanagement.
• Partner with the Head of Sales Development and Enablement to onboard new SDRs and accelerate ramp to full productivity across both segments.
• Develop individualized coaching plans grounded in performance data and qualitative observation, with clear milestones and feedback loops.
• Act as the credibility anchor for the team — modelling the behaviours and standards you expect, whether that's on the phone, in a sequence, or in the field.

Individual Contribution — Field & Corporate Prospecting

• Carry your own book of accounts, spanning Field (strategic, enterprise) and/or Corporate (mid‑market) targets from our ICP list, and hit individual pipeline and SQO targets each month.
• Engage Director, VP, and C‑suite contacts through multi‑channel outbound — personalized email, phone, LinkedIn, and direct mail — with messaging calibrated to executive audiences in the programmatic advertising and adtech space.
• For Field accounts: represent Quantcast at industry trade shows, regional events, executive dinners, and sponsored conferences. Drive pre‑event outreach to secure meetings and execute disciplined post‑event follow‑up.
• For Corporate accounts: run high‑velocity, persona‑driven sequences through our sales engagement platform, qualifying ICP fit and converting pipeline at pace.
• Operate as a true extension of the sales team — participating in account planning, contributing field and market intelligence, and co‑developing strategies to penetrate priority accounts.

Performance, Reporting & Cross‑Functional Partnership

• Track funnel metrics across both segments — activity, pipeline quality, ICP rate, and SQO attainment — proactively identifying gaps and correcting course before they compound.
• Maintain meticulous records in Salesforce for yourself and your team, ensuring data quality supports accurate forecasting and territory planning.
• Communicate performance insights to the Head of SDR, Field and Corporate AEs, and Marketing — translating frontline intelligence into sharper targeting and messaging across both motions.
• Partner with Marketing on event strategy and campaign feedback. Work with Sales Enablement to refine playbooks and share learnings that benefit the broader team.
• Stay current on adtech trends, competitor positioning, and shifts in the programmatic landscape. Bring that market knowledge back to your team.

Who You Are

• 3+ years of experience in sales development or business development, with demonstrated success prospecting into both strategic/enterprise and mid‑market accounts.
• 1+ year in a formal or informal leadership capacity (team lead, senior SDR, pod lead, or similar) with evidence of coaching others to improved performance.
• Familiarity with both high‑velocity corporate outbound and longer‑cycle field/enterprise prospecting motions — you understand that different segments require different playbooks.
• Proven track record of exceeding individual pipeline and SQO targets — you lead from the front and set the standard through your own output.
• Experience engaging senior and executive‑level stakeholders (Director, VP, C‑suite) through outbound prospecting — and coaching others to do the same.
• Comfortable and confident in field settings: trade shows, executive events, client meetings, and in‑person networking (for Field coverage).
• Able to read performance data, identify trends, and translate insight into concrete coaching actions — without waiting to be told what to look for.
• A collaborative operator with a track record of partnering effectively with Account Executives, Marketing, and cross‑functional teams.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to adapt tone and message for executive audiences, mid‑market buyers, and early‑career SDRs alike.
• Proficient with Salesforce and modern sales engagement tools (Outreach, Salesloft, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, ZoomInfo, or similar).
• Willingness to travel within your assigned territory for Field events, meetings, and prospecting activities (estimated 20–30% travel).
• Prior experience in Ad Tech, MarTech, SaaS, or digital media is a strong plus.
