Sales Manager
Build and Lead the Team That Drives Revenue
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.
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.
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.
- Document and implement a clear sales process across the team within the first 30 days to enable scalable, repeatable growth.
- Consistently lead the team to hit monthly revenue quotas with clear plans, accountability rhythms, and performance coaching that drives results.
- 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.
- Not every person who reaches out actually gets booked into a sales conversation, so genuine interest leaks away and deals that could have closed never even start.
- Deals are landing below their potential because discovery and upselling are weak, leaving money on the table on sales the company has already won.
- No agreed read on lead quality: Marketing passes over prospects each month without a tight, shared loop on which ones are any good, so the company keeps chasing weak leads and cannot sharpen its campaigns.
- There is no documented, repeatable sales method, so every deal is handled differently and results swing unpredictably, which makes steady, dependable growth impossible.
- 4 SDRs recruited and on track for AE graduation within 180 days
- 100% of inbound leads booked into sales appointments
- Documented sales process implemented across the team within 30 days
- 90%+ sales forecast accuracy delivered monthly
Bachelor's degree in Business, Sales, or a related field
- 3+ years of experience in B2B sales or sales leadership roles, preferably in high-growth or startup environments
- Experience hiring, onboarding, and developing high-performing AE and SDR teams
- Proficiency with CRM platforms (e.g., Salesforce, HubSpot) and sales enablement tools (e.g., Outreach, Salesloft, Gong)
- Experience using forecasting and pipeline management tools to deliver accurate sales projections
- Comfortable analyzing sales metrics and dashboards to drive decisions and team coaching
- Strong leadership and coaching abilities with a focus on accountability and growth
- Bonus points if you have:
- MBA or advanced degree
- Founded in 2017, Filtrous delivers speed, quality, and value to agile labs. We're a lab supplies distributor serving laboratories across a wide range of scientific and industrial sectors. We combine uncompromising product quality with customer service that actually picks up the phone.
