Senior Manager, Sales Development @ Scribe
About Scribe
Scribe is where exceptional people come to do the best work of their careers. Our Workflow AI platform automatically captures and optimizes how work gets done — 94% of the Fortune 500 use it, and 45% are paying customers. We hit $100M ARR in May 2026 and have grown to over 5 million daily active users across 600,000 businesses. We're Series C and valued at $1.3 billion. We're builders who hold a high bar, move fast, and care deeply about each other and our customers.
📌 About the Role
This is Scribe's founding and first dedicated sales development leadership role, and it exists because we're ready to build something — not inherit it. You'll stand up the BDR program from the ground up, evolving us from a predominantly inbound motion to a true outbound and sales-assisted engine. That means writing the playbook, hiring the team, and building the operating system that fuels pipeline at scale. It's a high-leverage, hands-on role for someone who's done this before and wants to do it at a company that's already proven the product works.
🛠️ What You'll Do
- Hire, onboard, and develop a team of BDRs with clear career paths into AE and CS roles — and a track record of actually getting them there
- Coach in the trenches through live call reviews, email breakdowns, and structured 1:1s designed to move conversion rates, not just check boxes
- Build the operating rhythm — dashboards, CRM hygiene standards, weekly pipeline reviews — so the team runs with rigor and consistency
- Develop and refine the playbook in partnership with Sales Strategy, from cadences and talk tracks to qualification criteria, for a horizontal product that sells across industries and personas
- Partner with Sales, RevOps, and Marketing to tighten lead routing, improve handoff quality, and close the gaps between pipeline generated and pipeline that closes
- Test fast, operationalize what works, and cut what doesn't — with a bias toward action over analysis
🔍 What We're Looking For
- Has led a BDR or SDR team in SaaS for 2 or more years, with direct accountability for pipeline and team development outcomes
- Has built or significantly rebuilt a sales development motion — not just run an existing one
- Manages by the numbers and inspects what they expect, with the credibility to hold early-career reps to high standards while investing genuinely in their growth
- Gives direct, actionable feedback and has the coaching track record to show for it — promotions, turnarounds, and reps who credit them for their development
- Comfortable selling and coaching across multiple buyer personas and use cases without a narrow playbook to fall back on
- Prior quota-carrying experience as an AE or equivalent is a meaningful plus
✨ Nice to Have
- Experience building outbound motion from scratch at a product-led or inbound-first company making the transition
- Familiarity with tools like Outreach, Salesforce, and Gong in a management context
- Background selling a horizontal SaaS product across multiple verticals
🚫 This role is not for you if
- Coaching and developing early-career sellers doesn't energize you — this role is at least as much about people as it is about pipeline
- You want a defined playbook to execute rather than a blank page to fill
- High-performance standards and direct feedback feel uncomfortable to give or receive
📍 Location
Hybrid. Based in San Francisco. We work from the office 3 days per week.
💰 Compensation
Salary varies by location. All full-time employees receive equity in Scribe. Final offers depend on experience and scope.

- Commuter benefits
- Home office stipend
