ABOUT OUTTAKE
Outtake exists to empower and facilitate trust for a digital-first world. Today, impersonation, fraud, AI-driven scams, and identity abuse spread faster than any security team can respond to. So we built something different: an agentic AI platform that proactively detects, monitors, and takes down impersonators, automating protection in hours, not weeks.
Built by ex-Palantir, ex-CTO/founders, and ex-Notion engineers, Outtake is designed for clarity, autonomy, and velocity. Our goal is ambitious: become the trust layer of the modern internet. And we intend to do it with a lean, dense, exceptionally talented team.
Outtake is backed by top-tier investors and operators who believe in our mission and our model. With strong financial footing and a long runway, we prioritize creating an environment where people can do the best work of their careers.
THE ROLE
As SDR Manager, you'll lead frontline execution on Outtake's pipeline engine. You’ll own the daily performance and development of a fast-growing SDR team that books meetings with CISOs, Threat Intel leaders, fraud teams and brand protection executives at the world's largest enterprises. You'll report directly to the Head of Sales Development, who owns the strategy and operating model; you'll own the people: coaching, ramp, inspection and performance.
You'll start with ~4-5 direct reports and take on more frontline ownership as we scale. We’re 8 SDRs today and the Head of SDR will own frontline with as you ramp. The team is early-tenure and highly coachable, which means your coaching directly shapes their growth.
At Outtake, AI-enabled enterprise selling is innovated, taught, and practiced. Your playbooks from the past are stepping-off points to a more efficient, AI-driven way of building pipeline.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
- Coach relentlessly: Run weekly 1:1s, call reviews and live coaching that raise the quality of every rep's prospecting, messaging and early discovery
