• Oversee the entire top-of-funnel process, ensuring the SDR team is efficiently identifying, engaging, and qualifying leads for the Relationship Manager (RM) team.

• Partner with Field Strategy to continuously refine prospecting strategies, target audience profiles, cold-calling scripts, and qualification criteria to maximize conversion rates.
