About the role

Planful is hiring a Sales Development Operations Specialist to own the systems, data, and reporting behind our SDR team. You’ll sit at the center of our pipeline-generation engine: deciding which accounts our SDRs go after, keeping the tools they prospect in running smoothly, and giving managers the reporting they need to see whats working and what isnt.

This is a hands-on operations role with real ownership. Youll be the person who turns our ICP into a target account list, evaluates which prospecting programs deserve more investment, and spots the manual work slowing down a 30-person team — then partners with Operations to automate it. You wont carry a quota, but your fingerprints will be on every qualified opportunity the team creates. If you like owning process end to end and measuring whether it actually moved pipeline, this is a great fit.

Responsibilities

• Own SDR list building — using our ICP to identify which Salesforce accounts and net-new prospects SDRs should be targeting
• Regularly analyze and refine the account list to ensure SDRs are focused on best-fit accounts, deprioritizing poor fits
• Manage net-new account assignment on a quarterly cadence
• Evaluate SDR prospecting programs on an ongoing basis — identify which channels are performing, where theyre breaking down in the funnel, and recommend which to cut or scale
• Build and maintain SDR efficiency reporting for managers, tracking core funnel metrics (call-to-connect, email reply rate, connect-to-conversation, conversation-to-meeting, meeting-to-opportunity)
• Own SDR capacity modeling — reporting on lead/account volume by prospecting bucket and calculating remaining cold-outreach capacity needed
• Track and enforce SDR SLA adherence, flagging gaps and driving accountability
• Provide day-to-day SDR tech support across Orum, Outreach, ZoomInfo, and UserGems — provisioning/de-provisioning, password resets, and troubleshooting
• Build UserGems audiences and campaigns that feed into Outreach sequences
• Translate SDR business needs into technical requirements and partner with Business Operations to implement solutions
• Identify data and enrichment gaps, partnering with Business Operations and Marketing Operations to close them
• Identify and drive additional workflow efficiencies for the SDR team

Qualifications

• 2+ years in revenue operations, sales operations, or sales development operations in a B2B SaaS environment. Prior SDR or sales experience is a plus.
• Hands-on experience with a modern GTM stack: Salesforce plus a sales engagement platform (Outreach, Salesloft, or similar), a dialer (Orum or similar), and enrichment/signal tools (ZoomInfo, UserGems, Clay, or similar).
• Strong reporting and analysis skills. You can build manager-facing reporting on funnel metrics (call-to-connect, reply rate, connect-to-conversation, conversation-to-meeting, meeting-to-opportunity) and explain what the numbers mean.
• A service mindset for day-to-day user support, paired with the instinct to fix the root cause instead of the same ticket twice.
• Ability to translate business needs into clear technical requirements
• A systems thinker with high ownership: you spot manual work, build the fix, document it, and measure the result.
• Ability to communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical audiences, and to keep SDR processes aligned with Sales
• Familiarity with AI/LLM tools, APIs, webhooks, or automation platforms (Zapier, Make, Workato, or code) is a plus.
