That's because, to us, each day is a chance to grow. As a team, we continuously inspire each other to learn new and better ways to make an impact. We own our jobs proudly - our leaders don't hold our hands, but they're in our corner whenever we ask for help - and our environment is flexible and remote-first.

The sales development initiative at Kinsta is critical to our company's growth and success. As the leader of the team, your primary goal will be to help Kinsta obtain more qualified opportunities and booked meetings, and increase market awareness for our company and brand globally. You will be responsible for leading the SDR team by coaching its members to success while also juggling a wide variety of day-to-day responsibilities and providing vision and guidance to continuously drive Kinsta's sales efforts within the market.

What You'll Do:

• Train members of the SDR Team to identify, contact, and create qualified opportunities and booked meetings.
