Manager, Sales Development

Maven AGI sits at the center of the hottest intersection in tech right now: AI and customer experience. While most "AI support" tools still focus on FAQs and deflection, Maven's agents actually do the work — autonomously interacting with customers, personalizing the conversation, and resolving complex issues, not just providing information.

That's not a soft ROI story. It's the most direct cost-displacement case in enterprise software today: real human work, replaced, at a fraction of the cost — not "savings if you use it well," but savings because the agent did the ticket instead of a person. That's the pitch you get to walk into every enterprise deal with.

Founded in 2023 by executives from HubSpot, Google, and Stripe, Maven builds conversational AI agents that don't just answer customers — they act: going into a customer's account, finding the actual problem, and fixing it, with no human required. Customers like Dell, ServPro, Hard Rock, Tripadvisor, Clio, and Thumbtack rely on Maven, with customers reporting resolution of 70–93% of interactions autonomously. G2 has also named Maven a High Performer and Best Meets Requirements across multiple categories.

POSITION OVERVIEW

As Manager, Sales Development at Maven AGI, you will lead, coach, and develop a growing team of SDRs responsible for creating pipeline across our enterprise sales organization. Reporting to our Head of Sales Development, you'll be a hands-on frontline leader who is close to the work: coaching calls, improving messaging and prospecting, inspecting performance, developing reps, and creating the operating rhythm that helps the team consistently deliver.

We're looking for a true player-coach rather than a purely strategic leader. You'll help SDRs become stronger sellers, build repeatable habits, and progress in their careers, while partnering closely with Sales, Marketing, and Revenue Operations to execute against Maven's broader go-to-market strategy.

This is an opportunity to join at an exciting stage of growth, with the SDR organization expanding alongside the business and significant opportunity to help shape how the team operates and scales.

- Coach reps on messaging, discovery, objection handling, account research, personalization, and multi-channel prospecting

- Build a high-performance culture grounded in curiosity, competitiveness, continuous learning, and shared accountability

- Help SDRs develop the skills and business acumen necessary to grow into future closing and broader sales roles

- Drive execution against team KPIs and pipeline goals, using data to identify trends, diagnose gaps, and improve performance

- Partner with Sales, Marketing, and Revenue Operations to translate Maven's ICP, account strategy, and go-to-market priorities into effective SDR execution

- Help the team execute thoughtful, account-based prospecting into larger enterprise and strategic accounts

- Ensure strong CRM hygiene, lead and account management, and effective handoffs between SDRs and Account Executives

- Support onboarding, ramp, training, and ongoing enablement as the SDR organization continues to grow
