About The Role

Rippling is seeking a strategic and technical leader to build and lead a team of sales and marketing operations professionals that will support our scaled Sales Development organization. This role sits at the intersection of marketing, sales, and revenue operations—acting as the connective tissue between teams to translate top-of-funnel initiatives into efficient, scalable SDR programs and workflows. This role will report directly to the VP of Growth Operations and partner closely with marketing, sales, and ops leadership.

What You Will Do

• Marketing ? SDR Handoff: Partner on the design and implementation of a scalable system that translates marketing campaigns, events, and intent signals into streamlined SDR workflows, playbooks, and tooling for broad applicability and long-term efficiency.
• Technology ownership: Serve as the DRI "Directly Responsible Individual" for the sales development tech stack (e.g. Salesforce, Outreach, Postal, enrichment tooling, homegrown solutions) to maximize SDR efficiency, reduce manual efforts through automation, and ensure seamless integration across tools.
• Deploying AI: Where can AI fit in? Partner closely with the surrounding technical teams (growth engineering, business systems) to find creative ways to embed AI into the SDR org (AI emails, engagement summaries, etc). This role will be responsible for staying on the cutting edge of how AI is being integrated into GTM teams and processes.
• Data & Reporting: Design, build, and maintain dashboards that track SDR activity, SLA metrics, intent signals, and inbound conversion rates. Separately, partner with the various data teams to improve the overall database quality for our outbound SDR teams.
• Data Hygiene & Governance: Establish and enforce standards for lead and contact data quality, including enrichment, segmentation, and routing logic. Partner closely with marketing operations to ensure clean, consistent data flows across platforms—from marketing automation to CRM to sequencing tools. Build safeguards and automation to prevent lead duplication, misrouting, and missed follow-up on high-intent prospects, ensuring every inbound lead is acted on efficiently and effectively.
• Technical enablement: Lead technology enablement for the SDR organization by owning the evaluation, implementation, and optimization of the sales development tech stack—including Salesforce, Outreach, data enrichment tools, and homegrown platforms. Serve as the point of contact for troubleshooting, onboarding, and ongoing user enablement—ensuring reps are equipped, trained, and supported to fully leverage available technology. Continuously assess new tools with the potential to enhance outreach quality, personalization, and conversion.
  
  

What You Will Need

• 5-7 years of Revops, Marketing ops, or GTM systems management experience
• Expert level hands-on experience with sales and marketing technologies; Outreach / Salesloft, Salesforce, Marketing Automation Platforms, AI tooling, Direct Mail tooling, Chilipiper, etc
• Proficient in SQL, BI, SFDC reporting, etc
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills with a knack for explaining complex technical concepts to non technical stakeholders
• Strong sense of responsibility and accountability with excellent attention to detail
• Entrepreneurial spirit: you're proactive, agile, creative, resourceful, and tenacious as you solve problems and achieve team and company goals
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent
