* Provide ongoing coaching, performance reviews, and career development support for SDR team members.
* Establish KPIs, monitor performance, and drive accountability through regular reporting and analysis.
* Optimise use of sales technology platforms (e.g., HubSpot, Salesforce, Salesloft) for efficiency and transparency.
* Ensure a seamless lead handoff process to the account executive team and continuously improve SQL conversion rates.
* Stay current on cybersecurity industry trends and buyer challenges to improve outreach strategies and messaging.
Key Requirements
* Proven experience managing or growing a high-performing SDR/inside sales team within a B2B SaaS or cybersecurity environment.
* Strong understanding of outbound prospecting strategies, sales pipeline metrics, and demand generation principles.

* Excellent leadership, communication, and coaching skills.
* Data-driven, highly organised, and process-oriented.
* Familiarity with cybersecurity offerings such as XDR, MDR, EDR, SIEM, and compliance frameworks is highly desirable.
* Comfortable working in a hybrid model with regular presence in the Portsmouth office.
