Our mission is to make world-class software security available to everyone. This means building program analysis tools that are open source, easy to use, powerful, and fast. It also means building a team with security expertise and a passion for great developer experiences. Most of all, it means working with honesty and respect in a diverse community of dreamers and builders. We’ve redefined static analysis tooling by committing to all of these, and turned our project, Semgrep, into an essential safeguard for code at Snowflake, Dropbox, and more.
About the Role
We are seeking an experienced Outbound SDR Manager to lead and scale our Sales Development Representative (SDR) team. In this role, you will be responsible for creating and executing a strategy that drives outbound sales efforts, generating qualified leads, and expanding Semgrep’s reach. You will manage a team of 6 SDRs, ensuring their success by providing ongoing coaching, development, and process optimization. You will also take over the hiring plan for the year, with the ability to hire your own candidates. This is an exciting opportunity for a results-driven sales leader to make a significant impact on a fast-growing company.
Prior experience in a fast-paced, tech environment is helpful, but we are more interested in your operational & management skills than your pedigree. So if this opportunity excites you but you don’t meet the exact requirements, apply anyway!

- Refine key performance indicators (KPIs) and metrics to effectively measure team performance, efficiency, and success.
- Lead, mentor, and grow a high-performing SDR team through ongoing coaching, training, and professional development.
- Cultivate a results-driven culture focused on accountability and continuous growth.
- Proactively identify and address challenges to drive team success.
You are ideal for this role if you have
- A total of 2 years of sales development experience, including at least 1 year in a management role.
- Proven track record of scaling and managing SDR teams in a high-growth environment.
- Strong understanding of sales methodologies (MEDDPICC/Challenger) and lead generation best practices.
- Expertise in CRM (Salesforce), sales engagement platforms (Outreach/CommonRoom), enrichment (Clay/ZoomInfo) & analytics tools (Tableau).

- Experience working in SaaS, technology, or B2B industries is preferred.
