• Drive improvements in conversion rates and pipeline quality across the full funnel, increasing efficiency and revenue impact
• Partner with Sales and Marketing leadership to design and execute account-based and regional go-to-market strategies, positioning BDR leadership as a strategic voice in shaping company-wide growth priorities, not just a downstream execution function

• Foster a culture of accountability, professionalism, and high performance aligned with company values that makes the team a destination for top talent and a visible feeder for internal promotion
