More than 1,700 sports federations, media outlets, betting operators, and consumer platforms across 120 countries rely on our know-how and technology to boost their business.\n This role is for a builder who loves coaching.\nEarly this year, Sportradar launched its first Sales Development function. The team now generates pipeline across more than ten product lines in four regions, partners closely with Account Executives and owns its own pipeline. The foundations and the culture are set. What comes next is making the motion consistent, measurable and scalable.\nYou will be the first dedicated manager of this team, reporting to the Senior Director of Sales Development and Enablement. Your focus is people: getting the absolute best from every SDR, building the standards they operate to, and shaping how Sales Development evolves as the business grows.\nWe want someone who has built a founding SDR team before, knows what great looks like in B2B SaaS, and is excited to rip up what isn't working and try again, in a business at the forefront of sport.\nTHE CHALLENGE\nCoaching and performance: Run a consistent coaching cadence across every region: 1:1s, call and email reviews, sequence feedback and skill development plans. Raise the bar on quality, not just volume.\n Playbooks and standardisation: Revamp the SDR playbook (still a work in progress!) and create shared standards across regions, while leaving room for what works locally. Make “how we prospect” something every SDR can explain and repeat.\nMetrics and accountability: Own team performance against meetings held, SQOs, pipeline generated and outbound activity. Define and enforce the activity standards that drive them, including calling discipline.\nOnboarding and ramp: Build a structured ramp path that gets new SDRs productive faster, and prove it with data.\nSDR to AE partnership: Strengthen the handoff so every meeting lands with the right context. Build trust with sales leaders and turn sceptics into advocates.\nCompetitive and market readiness: Partner with Enablement and Product Marketing to upskill SDRs in competitive and product knowledge across the portfolio.\nAI and future-proofing: Lead how the team uses AI to research, personalise and prioritise. Encourage creativity and experimentation so the SDR role evolves with AI. \nOperating rhythm: Design team cadences, competitions and rituals that keep energy and focus high across time zones.\nHiring and development: Partner on hiring and build clear progression paths so top SDRs grow with Sportradar.\nABOUT YOU:\nExperience building or scaling a founding SDR team in a B2B SaaS scale-up\nA track record managing SDRs across multiple regions and time zones\nBackground in sport, media, advertising technology or data\nPower-user fluency in Outreach and Salesforce\nA coach-first style. You develop people in the room, not only from a dashboard\nA collaborative instinct. You partner with sales leadership, Enablement, RevOps and Marketing\nA clear view on how AI will reshape the Sales Development role, and how to prepare a team for it\nComfort with ambiguity and a habit of documenting as you build\nA bias for quality over activity, and ownership of outcomes, not tasks\nAPAC or LATAM market experience\nPrevious experience with Product Manager and Marketing personas \nExperience partnering with Enablement on certification or ramp programmes\nOUR OFFER\nA collaborative environment with colleagues from all over the world (Engineering offices in Europe, Asia and US) including various social events and teambuilding. \nFlexibility to manage your workday and tasks with autonomy. \nA balance of structure and autonomy to tackle your daily tasks. \nVibrant and inclusive community, including Women in Tech and Pride groups which welcome all participants. \nGlobal Employee Assistance Programme. \nCalm and Reulay app (leading well-being apps designed to support focus, quality rest, mindfulness, and long-term mental resilience). \nOnline training videos. \nFlexible working hours. \nWhile we appreciate the flexibility and benefits of working from home, we strongly believe that coming together in person fosters stronger connections, encourages collaboration, and drives innovation-both as individuals and as a company. The energy, shared ideas, and team support we experience in the office strengthen the foundation of our success and culture. For this reason, we are an office-first business operating a on-site model, with team members working in the office four days a week to build relationships, exchange ideas, and grow together.\nOUR RECRUITMENT PROCESS\nInitial Screening: A quick chat with our Talent Acquisition Partner to understand your background and expectations. \nVideo Interview: Meet with the Hiring Manager to dive into the role and also discuss team fit. \nOnsite Interview: Meet with the local team and take a tour of our office for a final meet-and-greet. \nFinals Steps: Receive feedback and, if successful, an offer! \n At Sportradar, we celebrate our diverse group of hardworking employees.
