Regional BDR Team Manager

Regional BDR Team Manager Join to apply for the Regional BDR Team Manager role at Canonical. Canonical is a leading provider of open source software and operating systems to the global enterprise and technology markets. Our platform, Ubuntu, is very widely used in breakthrough enterprise initiatives such as public cloud, data science, AI, engineering innovation, and IoT. Our customers include the world's leading public cloud and silicon providers, and industry leaders in many sectors. The company is a pioneer of global distributed collaboration, with 1200+ colleagues in 75+ countries and very few office‑based roles. Teams meet two to four times yearly in person, in interesting locations around the world, to align on strategy and execution. The company is founder‑led, profitable and growing. We are expanding our sales and field engineering teams globally, including our sales development representative (SDR) teams. Our SDRs are typically outstanding graduates from STEM fields who would like to join the software industry and are starting their sales career at Canonical. We are hiring SDR Team Managers to run new inbound and outbound teams. Our goal is not only to manage inbound leads for a global tech company, but also to develop outstanding sales professionals with high integrity, high empathy and a rigorous work ethic. Our sales development organisation is therefore also a sales academy, and as such, we are looking for SDR Team Managers who take a strong interest in the development of skills and the establishment of culture. You will enjoy this role if you are organised, persistent, analytical, hard‑working, and care to ensure that smart and ambitious people learn and develop the skills they need to represent you and the company in outstanding ways over the course of their career—both while they are on your team, and as they move onward to more senior sales and alliances positions. You should be determined to grow your own skills as well as those of your team, and enjoy learning about new technologies. Canonical is fortunate to represent the vast wave of open source innovation, which means it has a large and rapidly growing range of solutions it can deliver to customers, and ample opportunity for all of us to learn about new kinds of tech, or specialise in fields we enjoy the most. You should also be open to innovation, and experiment with new outbound approaches to adapt to changes in the market. In this role your primary objective is to manage and mentor a successful team of 2‑10 SDRs / BDRs, and maintain a multi‑million dollar pipeline.
