Head of Global Sales Development
About the team
The Sales Development team is a critical component of our go-to-market pipeline strategy and presents an outstanding opportunity to learn fundamental sales skills in preparation for an exciting career in software sales. This role will directly fuel additional revenue growth and success for the business.
About the role
As the Global Head of Sales Development, you will be the architect of Miro’s pipeline engine. This is a high-impact position responsible for leading a global team of Sales Development Managers and their respective SDR pods.
You will oversee the entire top-of-funnel lifecycle—from high-velocity inbound lead management to sophisticated, point-of-view-led outbound prospecting. Your mission is to build a world-class SDR culture that consistently delivers high-quality pipeline across our Commercial, Enterprise, and Strategic segments.
Key Responsibilities
- Global Leadership: Lead, coach, and develop a global team of SDR Managers across Austin, Amsterdam, Sydney, Singapore, and Tokyo. Build a culture of high performance, continuous learning, and inclusivity.
- Pipeline Strategy: Design and execute the global SDR strategy for both inbound response and outbound hunting. Ensure the team is hitting aggressive pipeline targets while maintaining high conversion rates.
- Segment Alignment: Tailor prospecting playbooks and SLAs to meet the unique needs of different business segments:
- Commercial: High-velocity, volume-driven growth.
- Enterprise/Strategic: Account-based approaches focused on multi-threading and executive engagement.
- Cross-Functional Partnership: Act as the bridge between Marketing (to optimize lead flow and feedback loops) and Sales Leadership (to ensure pipeline quality and AE/SDR alignment).
- Operational Excellence: Partner with Sales Ops to refine the tech stack (Salesforce, Outreach, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, etc.), improve lead scoring, and build robust reporting dashboards.
- Global Consistency, Local Nuance: Standardize "The Miro Way" of prospecting globally while allowing for regional adaptations in EMEA and APAC markets.
What You’ll Need
- Experience: 10+ years of experience in Sales/Sales Development, with at least 4+ years in a "Manager of Managers" leadership role within a high-growth SaaS environment.
- Global Perspective: Proven track record of managing distributed teams across multiple time zones and cultures (AMER, EMEA, APAC).
- Strategic Breadth: Deep understanding of both PLG (Product-Led Growth) inbound motions and traditional Enterprise outbound sales methodologies.
- Analytical Rigor: You are data-driven. You can diagnose funnel health, predict pipeline gaps, and use data to tell a story and influence executive stakeholders.
- Communication: Exceptional ability to communicate vision and strategy to the C-suite while remaining "in the weeds" enough to coach managers on frontline challenges.
Adaptability: Comfortable in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment; you view "ambiguity" as an opportunity to build.What's in it for you
