“Leading a high-performing team at Absorb means you come to work every day with a group of people who won’t stop until they’ve met or exceeded every goal you set in front of them. They look to you to provide guidance, coaching, correction, AND direction- where you lead, they will follow! I have never encountered a group of people who are so willing to listen to new ideas, apply new principles, and provide helpful feedback on all that you ask them to. It is incredibly awesome- and humbling- to know that we are part of nearly every single opportunity that comes to Absorb, and we take that “first impression” responsibility to heart. We do all that we do Fanatically Well! – Brooke Matlage, Senior Director, Sales Development

About the role:

The Sales Development Manager will work closely with a team of high-performing Sales Development Representatives, supporting them through their journey and ensuring they have the tools to succeed.

We are looking for someone with top-notch communication skills – not just with the team (although super important) but externally and across departments.
