SDR Manager - EMEA

Job description

About the role As the EMEA SDR Manager, you will build and lead the team that opens doors for Nerdio across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. You will own pipeline targets, coach SDRs to hit them, and make sure the team is always getting better. We need a hands-on leader who is just as credible on a live call as in a pipeline review. You will hire, onboard, and develop a multilingual, multi-country team. You will also run a tight operating rhythm of 1:1s, call coaching, and performance reviews. You’ll coach by doing: joining calls, role-playing, co-writing outreach, and showing what great prospecting looks like. You’ll also lead our entry into emerging EMEA markets. That means defining the ICP, planning territories and accounts, localizing messaging, and building channel and partner-led motions alongside Sales, Marketing, Partners, and Sales Ops. We want someone who tests new messaging, channels, and plays instead of leaning on a single playbook. Data and AI are part of the daily work here. You’ll use pipeline, conversion, and activity data to find what’s working, fix what isn’t, and forecast accurately. You’ll also bring AI into research, personalization, sequencing, and call review, and teach your team to use it well.
