Sales Development Manager

Hybrid Full TimeChicago, Illinois, United StatesEngine

Role Overview

We’re looking for a Sales Development Manager to lead, coach, and inspire our growing Sales Development Representative team. This person will be instrumental in shaping early sales talent, guiding them toward successful careers as Account Executives, and driving the performance of our outbound sales efforts.

What You Will Do

Coach & Develop: Provide daily hands-on coaching to entry-level SDRs with a focus on cold calling skills, objection handling, prospecting strategies, and professional development. Talent Growth: Foster a career path for SDRs with clear milestones, and champion internal promotions into Account Executive roles.

Why It Might Be a Fit

We believe that people don’t just want to work for a company—they want to be part of something bigger. At Engine, we’re building more than a team; we’re building a movement. One where individuality is celebrated, where challenge fuels growth, and where the status quo is never enough.

Requirements

  • Proven track record of promoting SDRs to quota-carrying roles and building scalable training and development frameworks
  • Deep understanding of outbound sales methodologies (cold calling, social selling, cadence creation, etc.)
  • High EQ and excellent communication skills — able to motivate, challenge, and support in equal measure
  • Experience with sales tech stack (e.g., Salesforce, Outreach, Gong,)
  • Collaborative, selfless leadership style that puts the team first and thrives on shared success
  • Data-driven decision-maker who can analyze performance metrics and adjust strategies accordingly
  • A passion for helping people grow into the best version of themselves
