As a Manager of Outbound Sales at BambooHR, you will lead a team of Outbound Account Executives responsible for acquiring new customers within defined territories. You’ll help build and scale our newest outbound segment—establishing its operating rhythms, territory strategy, coaching model, and sales playbook while developing a team capable of delivering consistent, predictable growth.

Your team will partner closely with dedicated BDRs while maintaining ownership of territory planning, strategic prospecting, pipeline creation, and complex, multi-step sales cycles. You will coach AEs to build relationships across buying committees, create urgency with prospective customers, and position BambooHR as a long‑term solution to meaningful business challenges.

Success in this role requires more than managing results. You will create the structure, accountability, and coaching environment that helps sellers consistently exceed quota. Your leadership, insights, and results will directly influence how this segment evolves and scales across BambooHR.

You will:

• Lead, coach, and develop a team of quota-carrying Outbound Account Executives responsible for new-logo revenue.
• Establish the operating rhythms, performance expectations, and sales practices required to scale a successful outbound segment.
• Coach AEs on territory planning, account prioritization, prospecting, discovery, multithreading, objection handling, negotiation, and closing.
• Ensure AEs effectively partner with dedicated BDRs while maintaining ownership of their individual territories and pipeline creation.
• Strengthen deal execution by reviewing calls, demos, proposals, and account strategies and providing clear, actionable feedback.
• Support strategic opportunities by helping AEs navigate complex buying committees, establish executive sponsorship, and advance multi-step sales cycles.
• Own weekly forecasting and pipeline reviews, ensuring accuracy, strong CRM hygiene, and sufficient coverage against bookings targets.
• Use performance data to identify trends, diagnose gaps, and improve pipeline creation, conversion rates, win rates, sales velocity, and quota attainment.
• Reinforce consistent adoption of BambooHR’s sales methodology, processes, and tools.
• Partner with BDR leadership to strengthen AE and BDR alignment, account coverage, opportunity quality, and pipeline generation.
• Collaborate with Revenue Operations, Marketing, Sales Enablement, and other cross‑functional partners to improve execution and remove barriers to growth.
• Support the recruitment, onboarding, ramp, performance management, and retention of high‑performing sales talent.
• Build a team culture grounded in accountability, healthy competition, coachability, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
• Translate frontline insights into recommendations that improve BambooHR’s outbound strategy, customer approach, and go‑to‑market playbook.
