About the Role
Join a world‑class team and lead our next chapter of growth. As Business Development Marketing Supervisor, you aren’t just managing—you’re the strategist behind our outbound engine. Reporting directly to Marketing, you’ll mentor a high‑energy BDR team to master sophisticated, brand‑aligned prospecting. This is a unique player‑coach role focused on lead management and pipeline growth—not full‑cycle sales. You’ll sharpen the team’s tactics while staying in the game yourself, using Salesforce to identify and qualify high‑value accounts.
