Job Summary

Own the end-to-end sales development engine, aligning inbound and outbound to drive multi-million-dollar revenue, while building demand plans, governance, and scalable enablement for channel partners and eCommerce.

  • Own SDRs across inbound/outbound with clear SLAs and pipeline hygiene.
  • Drive demand planning and integrated campaigns across web, SEO/SEM, events, and partner channels.
  • Lead scalable governance, onboarding, and career paths to grow the function without linear headcount growth.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Own the Sales Development function end to end — both Inbound qualification and Outbound prospecting.
  • Build the Inbound motion: rapid speed-to-lead on qualified web, eCommerce, and Request for Quote inquiries; consistent qualification criteria; clean handoff to Channel Partners.
  • Build the Outbound motion: target-account strategy, cadences, and playbooks aligned to Viking's priority segments.
  • Set the Sale Development Representative (SDR) targets, coach performance, and create a clear career path from SDR to quota-carrying roles.
  • Responsible for defining and aligning the criteria a potential customer must meet to move through each stage of the sales pipeline, including Service Level Agreements, and reporting in partnership with Sales.
  • Own the demand plan: set targets, channel mix, and investment allocation to double marketing-sourced pipeline.
  • Build Good / Better / Best product-marketing positioning and sales enablement for core and adjacent applications.
  • Oversee creation of technical expertise into scalable, AI enabled content and campaigns.
  • Orchestrate with digital teams to implement integrated and standalone campaigns across web, SEO, SEM, email, events, and channel marketing.
  • Lead the launch and operation of the hybrid eCommerce route to market: RFQ path for engineered solutions and checkout path for standard products and spares.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent professional experience required.
  • 5+ years in B2B commercial leadership roles, with clear ownership of a revenue or pipeline number.
  • Proven record building or scaling a Sales Development function (Inbound and Outbound) — hiring, coaching, quota design, tooling, and MQL→SQL discipline.
  • Hands-on experience launching or scaling B2B eCommerce — ideally a hybrid RFQ + checkout model with channel-partner alignment.
  • Strong grasp of product-marketing, including positioning, packaging, and sales enablement for tiered offerings.
  • Understanding of web properties, SEO/SEM, and content operations as measurable revenue drivers.
  • Commercially literate — comfortable owning a revenue number, not just an activity number.
