Manager, Sales Development, DMV/Boston

First impressions count. But you know that ... because you've led sales development teams that introduce new offerings to prospects hundreds of times a day. Heck...somewhere along the way you did it yourself.

Those teams may have gone by a different name: BDRs, SDRs or inside sales. At Expel we've got our eye on the long game. Our customers need to be able to trust us, and that starts the second you or someone on your team talks to them about joining our community. Our promise to them: we do what we say, and they will love what we do. We don't use jargon, replay tired phrases to describe ourselves or negotiate like we're trying to sell them a bridge.

We're a breath of fresh air in an enterprise information security market that's confusing, hostile and dominated by vendors focused on their widget instead of what customers actually want or need. Even if the timing isn't right, we believe we should still offer value because chances are they'll be a customer six or 12 months down the road.

Are you searching for a company with an enterprise security product customers actually love? Are you passionate about building the sales development function and intrigued by the chance to work somewhere that gives you space to do it in a new way? Are you driven to build teams that create new customers? Or maybe you just love selling products you know you can stand behind. If you find yourself nodding, we should talk.

What Expel can do for you

• Surround you with highly collaborative sales and marketing teams that know the act of creating a long-term customer starts with building trust during that initial outreach.
• Surprise you with the capability of our team and our willingness to creatively support your efforts, whether that's via teaching you about Expel, creating new content or investing in tech you need.
• Give you the opportunity to shine as you scale what we've already built, and open new directions for us to explore to create as many customers as we possibly can.
