Your Role

We’re looking for Sales Managers to lead our team of Business Development Representatives (BDRs). This is a critical role focused on building, coaching, and managing the team that drives consistent, high-quality lead and pipeline generation for our sales organization. You’ll be instrumental in executing our top-of-funnel sales strategy and developing the next generation of sales talent at Hudl.

In this role, you’ll:

  • Lead and develop talent. Provide daily, hands-on coaching and professional development to your team, focusing on prospecting, objection handling, and qualification skills. You’ll set clear performance expectations, manage the team to key metrics, and foster a high-energy, supportive team environment.
  • Drive pipeline and optimize process. Develop and execute the lead generation strategy, ensuring alignment with regional sales goals. You’ll maximize the effectiveness of our sales tech stack (like Salesforce and AI tools) and continuously refine the sales development process to improve efficiency.
  • Collaborate across Hudl. Serve as the primary liaison with Account Executives to ensure smooth lead handoffs. You'll partner with Marketing to provide feedback on lead quality and with Revenue Operations to analyze pipeline data and report on team performance.

Our priority is to hire someone for this role who lives near our office in Lincoln or Omaha, Nebraska, or is open to relocating to either of these cities. We do ask our sales leadership to be in the office a majority of the week.

  • Guarantee autonomy. We have an open, honest culture and we trust our people from day one. Your team will support you, but you’ll own your work and have the agency to try new ideas. 
  • Encourage career growth. We’re lifelong learners who encourage professional development. We’ll give you tons of resources and opportunities to keep growing.
