Sales Manager
Build and Lead the Team That Drives Revenue
Why This Role Matters
Filtrous is growing fast, and revenue growth doesn't happen by accident—it happens when a talented
sales team is hired, trained, and led by someone who delivers results, not excuses. As our Sales
Manager, you'll build a high-performance team from the ground up: hiring and ramping Account
Executives and SDRs, designing the sales process, aligning with marketing, and driving the numbers
that fuel our expansion. This isn't a seat-warming management role. You'll be on the front lines,
coaching reps, closing pipeline gaps, and owning the revenue targets that determine how fast Filtrous
scales.
What You'll Do
• Build the Team: Hire, onboard, and ramp 2 Account Executives who hit at least 80% of key
performance metrics within 90 days. Recruit and coach 4 SDRs who are on track to graduate to
AE roles within 180 days, building a consistent outbound engine.
• Maximize Every Lead: Ensure 100% of inbound leads are booked into sales appointments by
refining handoffs, follow-ups, and workflows. Increase median order value by 10% through
improved discovery, solution selling, and upsell tactics within the first 30–60 days.
• Align Sales and Marketing: Collaborate with marketing to review and provide feedback on 30+
MQLs per month and increase conversion to qualified opportunities. Build tight feedback loops
that optimize campaigns and lead quality.
• Design the Playbook: Document and implement a clear sales process across the team within the
first 30 days to enable scalable, repeatable growth.
• Hit the Number: Consistently lead the team to hit monthly revenue quotas with clear plans,
accountability rhythms, and performance coaching that drives results.
• Report with Precision: Deliver weekly and monthly reports tracking pipeline movement, close
rates, deal velocity, and rep performance. Maintain 90%+ forecast accuracy using clean pipeline
data and consistent tracking.
How Success is Measured
• 2 Account Executives hired, onboarded, and hitting 80%+ of KPIs within 90 days
• 4 SDRs recruited and on track for AE graduation within 180 days
• 100% of inbound leads booked into sales appointments
• Median order value increased by 10% within the first 30–60 days
• Documented sales process implemented across the team within 30 days
• 90%+ sales forecast accuracy delivered monthly
Why You'll Love It Here
At Filtrous, you won't be managing a team inside a bloated corporate hierarchy. You'll be building the
sales engine from scratch, with direct access to the CEO and every department leader. You'll have
the autonomy to design processes, hire your own team, and implement the strategies you believe in.
Your impact will be visible in the revenue numbers, and as Filtrous grows, the sales organization you
build will be the foundation that makes that growth possible. If you thrive on ownership, results, and
building something from the ground up, this is your role.
