À propos de ce poste Sales Development Lead chez Granola
About Us
We’re Team Granola 👋 building tools that help humans think and work better.
What began as an AI notepad for back-to-back meetings has become a shared team workspace and second brain. Granola spreads organically inside companies, often starting with a senior leader and quickly cascading across teams.
Today, Granola is used at many of the world’s top and fastest-growing companies like Vercel, Cursor, Lovable and Decagon.
Designed and built in London, Granola now serves a predominantly US customer base. To support that growth, we’ve opened a San Francisco office as the hub for our North American go-to-market efforts.
About the Role
Granola is already loved by people inside the companies we want to work with. You’ll help turn that engagement into enterprise opportunities, while developing creative outbound strategies to reach new customers.
You’ll hire, coach, and lead our SDR team, working closely with Account Executives and sales leadership to shape our approach. This is a hands-on role: you’ll test ideas yourself, learn what works, and help the team turn those lessons into repeatable results.
We’re especially excited about someone who uses AI and automation thoughtfully to improve account research, prioritization, and outreach, while keeping customer conversations personal and relevant.
What You’ll Do
Hire, coach, and develop our SDR team, helping people succeed in their roles and grow their careers.
Own the team’s qualified pipeline targets, partnering with Account Executives and sales leadership on account priorities and execution.
Build outreach strategies that use product engagement and account signals to identify companies ready for a broader conversation about Granola.
Develop and test targeted outbound campaigns, reaching relevant champions and decision-makers across enterprise accounts.
Use AI and automation to improve research, personalization, and team productivity.
Establish clear processes for qualification, account ownership, and AE handoffs.
Build onboarding and coaching that help new hires become effective quickly.
Use data and feedback to improve outreach quality, conversion rates, and pipeline performance.
Help build the SF office and sales team culture, setting high standards while creating an environment where people enjoy doing their best work.

Excited to collaborate across functions and with teammates in SF and London.

About the Opportunity
We are living in the most exciting time for tool builders since Engelbart’s demo in 1968, and we want to assemble the best crew to build this future together, in London and SF.
You’ll have the opportunity to shape an important part of Granola’s growth and build a team whose impact grows with the company.
