Fireworks AI median: 46 days open

The posting

ABOUT US:

Fireworks is the platform for specialized intelligence, enabling companies to build, train, and serve AI models tailored to their own data, workflows, and products. Founded by the team behind PyTorch and backed by AMD, Atreides, Benchmark Capital, Index Ventures, Lightspeed, NVIDIA, Sequoia Capital, and TCV, Fireworks powers production AI with hundreds of state-of-the-art open models across text, image, embedding, audio, and multimodal workloads. Today, Fireworks is a Series D company valued at $17.5 billion, bringing together an ambitious, collaborative team that's building the future of enterprise AI.

THE ROLE

We’re hiring our first SDR Manager to help build Fireworks’ business development function from the ground up. You’ll lead, coach, and grow a team of SDRs who qualify inbound interest from developers and enterprises and prospect into high-value target accounts. Together, you’ll create the pipeline that drives our Account Executive team.

This is a builder role. You’ll own the team’s performance and development while designing the playbooks, systems, and AI-powered workflows behind our top-of-funnel motion. We’re looking for a hands-on, first-line leader who gets results through great coaching. They should be fluent in AI tooling and process design, let data guide their decisions, and bring a “can do” attitude to every problem. They should be excited to define how sales development works at one of the fastest-growing companies in AI.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

- Hire, onboard, and lead a team of SDRs, scaling the team as Fireworks grows

- Coach reps through regular 1:1s, call and email reviews, and hands-on skill development, building a clear path from BDR to AE

- Own team performance across activity, conversion rates, meetings booked, pipeline generated, and quota attainment

- Build repeatable playbooks for inbound qualification and outbound prospecting, including ICP, personas, messaging, and AE handoff criteria

- Partner with Marketing to quickly convert inbound and product-led signals (signups, usage, events) into qualified opportunities

- Design and deploy AI workflows and automations for account research, prioritization, personalization, and reporting, freeing reps to focus on high-value conversations

- Continuously audit and improve SDR processes, from lead routing and follow-up speed to sequencing and handoffs, so the team operates efficiently at scale

- Build dashboards and reporting that give the team and leadership clear, real-time visibility into funnel health

- Use data to find bottlenecks, run experiments, and turn insights into action quickly

- Work with Sales leadership and RevOps to align on target accounts, territories, lead routing, and pipeline goals

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS

- 2–4 years of direct, first-line management experience leading SDR/BDR teams

- A proven track record of exceptional coaching and development, with reps promoted into AE or leadership roles and teams that consistently hit or exceed targets

- Strong AI tooling and process skills, with hands-on experience building AI workflows that measurably improved sales productivity (e.g., Clay, AI agents, LLM-based prompts and automations)

- A data-driven “can do” mindset: you dig into the numbers, spot what’s broken, and fix it yourself rather than waiting for a solution

- Experience managing team performance through metrics, funnel analytics, and pipeline forecasting

- Prior experience as an individual contributor in sales development or a closing role

- Excellent communication and organizational skills, and comfort engaging technical buyers

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

- Experience building a sales development function from scratch at a high-growth startup

- Background in AI, developer tools, cloud infrastructure, or other technical SaaS

- Experience with both high-volume inbound and targeted outbound motions

- Fluency with a modern GTM stack (e.g., Salesforce, Outreach, Apollo, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Gong)

- Passion for developing early-career sales talent and an active interest in the AI/ML space

Fireworks AI’s goal is to provide competitive cash compensation, equity, and benefits. The compensation offered for this role will be based on multiple factors such as location, the role’s scope and complexity, and the candidate’s experience and expertise, and may vary from the range provided.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
