AirOps is the first end-to-end content engineering platform built for the AI era. In a world where discovery is shifting from traditional search to AI-driven platforms, we help brands get found—and stay found. We are currently in a phase of hyper-growth, having 5x’d our revenue in the last year by helping marketing teams at Ramp, Chime, Carta, and Rippling turn content quality into a durable competitive advantage.
Our platform equips marketers to navigate the new discovery landscape, prioritize high-impact opportunities, and create accurate, on-brand content that earns citations from AI and trust from humans. Backed by Greylock, Unusual Ventures, Wing VC, and Founder Collective, we are building the intelligent systems that will empower the next generation of marketing leaders. AirOps is headquartered in San Francisco, New York and Montevideo.
As SDR Manager, you will serve as the frontline leader of our sales development team, owning the day-to-day coaching, performance management, and operational execution that drives consistent pipeline generation. Reporting to the Director of Sales Development, you'll translate team strategy into daily action — running the plays, developing reps, and ensuring our outbound engine runs at peak performance. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in the details of rep development and team operations while contributing to the broader growth of our sales development organization.
Day-to-Day Team Management: Directly manage a team of Sales Development Representatives, conducting regular 1:1s, call reviews, pipeline inspections, and performance check-ins to drive individual and team accountability.
Coaching and Rep Development: Provide hands-on coaching across cold calling, email outreach, social selling, and discovery skills to continuously elevate rep performance and accelerate ramp times for new hires.
Performance Management: Own team KPIs and activity metrics, identifying trends and gaps early, and implementing action plans to ensure the team consistently meets or exceeds pipeline targets.
Outbound Prospecting Support: Lead by example by staying close to the prospecting motion — assisting with lead list quality, outreach best practices, and hands-on support during high-priority campaigns.
Process and Tool Optimization: Help maintain and improve workflows within sales tools and automation platforms (including Clay, Lemlist, and CRM systems) to maximize rep efficiency and data accuracy.
Hiring and Onboarding: Support the recruiting process for new SDRs and own the onboarding experience, ensuring new hires are ramped effectively through structured training programs.
