The Position

We’re looking for a driven, competitive, and relentless Global Sales Development Director to own pipeline generation worldwide. This is a builder’s role — scaling and leading SDR teams in multiple regions, creating a world-class outbound motion, and using AI-driven targeting to dominate our markets.

You’ll partner with global Sales and Marketing leadership to deliver predictable, measurable results. The right leader will have a track record of exceeding SDR-sourced pipeline goals, grow high-performing teams, and build outbound programs from the ground up. This role seeks a decisive, direct leader who balances empathy with expectations.

What You Will Be Doing

• Scale & lead high-performing SDR teams across AMER, EMEA, and APAC.

• Architect and launch a global outbound playbook that consistently beats pipeline targets.

• Drive KPI discipline — conversion rates, meeting quality, speed-to-lead, and pipeline coverage.

• Executive-Level Communication & Forecasting by presenting timely pipeline analytics, SDR performance dashboards, and predictive forecasts to senior leadership (VP-level). Own capacity planning, ramp analysis, and forecast models using real data to guide hiring and scaling decisions.

• Partner with Sales & Marketing leadership to align on territory plans, campaigns, and strategic accounts.

• Master OPSWAT’s full product portfolio understanding each product’s value proposition, interrelations, and their application within vertical industries.

• Proven track record designing, standardizing and continuously refining global lead nurturing cadences for both inbound and outbound motion.

• Use AI-powered segmentation (intent data, predictive scoring, ICP refinement) to target the right accounts, at the right time, with the right message.

• Recruit, coach, and retain top SDR talent, build future sales leaders.

• Optimize the tech stack — SalesLoft, Salesforce, ZoomInfo, 6sense, LinkedIn Sales Navigator — for maximum productivity.

What We Need From You

• 7+ years in sales development / inside sales, 3+ years leading global SDR teams.

• Proven ability to build and scale outbound motions in high-growth, B2B tech (cybersecurity a plus).

• Experience managing distributed, multicultural teams across regions.

• Strong command of AI-driven prospecting and data-led decision-making.

• Exceptional leadership presence — inspires performance, drives accountability, and builds culture.

• Obsessed with metrics. Relentless about results.

Why OPSWAT?

• Lead a global, high-impact SDR organization in one of cybersecurity’s fastest-growing companies.

• Build the outbound engine that fuels pipeline growth across three continents.
