[Hiring] Strategic Sales Development Lead @Huzzle

Role Description

We are seeking a high-performing Strategic Sales Development Lead to drive growth for a premier modern home decor and lighting brand. This is not a typical "volume-only" SDR role; you will be the engine behind our outbound strategy, targeting high-value opportunities and sophisticated homeowners seeking minimalist luxury. As a Lead, you will bridge the gap between individual contribution and strategic leadership—managing a robust pipeline while mentoring junior team members to elevate our overall sales process. If you thrive in a fast-paced e-commerce environment and have a proven track record of converting luxury prospects into qualified opportunities, this is your next career milestone.

• Maintain a "speed-to-lead" standard, contacting new inbound leads within 5–15 minutes to qualify them based on authority, timeline, and opportunity size.
• Book 25–30 qualified meetings per month and ensure a minimum of 10–15+ sales-qualified opportunities are created.
• Execute 50–80 targeted daily touches, utilizing deep research to personalize messaging for the modern home decor market.
• Maintain 100% data integrity in the CRM, ensuring every lead has a scheduled next action and detailed notes.
• Act as a Senior/Lead resource by coaching junior SDRs, sharing successful scripts, and optimizing outbound sequences.
• Review personal and team funnel metrics daily to identify conversion gaps and optimize the lead-to-meeting ratio.
• Proven experience specifically within the home goods, furniture, or lighting industries.
• Demonstrated ability to move beyond activity quotas to focus on pipeline value and qualified opportunity creation.
• Ability to work a strict 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM CST schedule from an offshore location.
• Exceptional verbal and written communication skills with the ability to engage high-end clientele.
• Prior experience in a Senior or Lead SDR capacity, demonstrating the ability to mentor others and refine sales processes.

Nice-to-Haves

• Direct experience in E-commerce sales cycles.
• Advanced skills in Lead Sourcing, Discovery Calls, and Sales Forecasting.
• Background in closing or account management within the interior design or architecture space.
