Manager, Outbound Sales
Trainual
TL;DR
Trainual is making a strategic bet on outbound — and we're hiring the person who will build it into a repeatable, scalable engine.
This is a founding role. You're not inheriting a finished motion; you're defining one. You'll lead a team of AEs and an SDR across both fully outbound and blended segments, own pipeline creation targets, and partner closely with RevOps and Marketing Ops to turn outbound from an activity into a measurable revenue driver.
If you're someone who gets energized by building systems, developing reps, and proving that outbound works — this is your moment.
So… who are you?
You're a builder who leads from the front.
You've run outbound AE teams before and have the playbooks, scars, and wins to show for it.
Strategy and execution aren't in tension for you — you set the direction and you're in the trenches making sure it happens.
You don't wait for the motion to be handed to you. You design it, test it, and scale it.
You coach with clarity and hold the bar high.
You can diagnose whether a problem lives in targeting, messaging, rep execution, or funnel design — and you know how to fix each one.
You develop AEs through real coaching: personalization, sequencing, objection handling, and deal progression — not just scorecards.
Your team feels accountability as a feature, not a burden.
You think in systems.
HubSpot isn't just a CRM to you — it's a performance layer. You build workflows, sequences, and reporting that make the whole team faster.
You partner well with RevOps and Marketing Ops because you understand what they need and what they can build together with you.
You run structured experiments, learn fast, and scale what works.
