Overview AvePoint is seeking a seasoned and strategic Senior Director of Business Development to lead our global Business Development Representative (BDR) team. This leader will oversee outbound pipeline generation across the United States, Canada, Latin America (LATAM), and Australia/New Zealand (ANZ), supporting both channel and direct sales motions. With a deep understanding of SaaS buyer journeys and outbound sales strategy, the ideal candidate will be responsible for building scalable processes, developing talent, and ensuring tight alignment between marketing, sales, and operations.
Our BDR program is critical to our go-to-market success: SDRs handle all inbound interest while BDRs focus exclusively on outbound prospecting. The Sr. Director will bring experience from high‑growth SaaS organizations and a passion for building world‑class teams that generate pipeline, engage target accounts, and accelerate revenue growth.
Key Responsibilities
Lead, manage, and scale a high‑performing BDR organization across US, Canada, LATAM, and ANZ
Own the outbound strategy, playbooks, and KPIs for both direct and channel BDR teams
Partner with Sales, Marketing, and RevOps to define target accounts, ICPs, territories, and qualification criteria
Design and implement scalable BDR cadences and campaigns in coordination with ABX and demand gen teams
Optimize team structure, lead routing, and CRM workflows to drive efficiency and accountability
Build a culture of coaching, performance, and career progression—preparing BDRs for promotion into quota‑carrying roles
Analyze pipeline performance, conversion metrics, and team activity to refine strategy and forecast outcomes
Recruit top talent and drive ongoing enablement in partnership with sales enablement and marketing operations
Qualifications
10+ years of experience in business development, sales, or revenue operations within B2B SaaS organizations
5+ years of leadership experience managing high‑performing BDR or SDR teams
Proven track record of building and scaling global BDR teams aligned to both inbound and outbound GTM motions
Strong understanding of outbound pipeline generation strategies and sales development best practices
Familiarity with modern sales and marketing tech stacks (e.g., LinkedIn Navigator, Outreach, 6sense, Marketo, Nooks)
Experience working cross‑functionally with field sales, channel, and marketing leadership
Excellent communication, coaching, and organizational skills
A data‑driven mindset with fluency in pipeline metrics, forecasting, and sales funnel analysis

The listed salary range represents a good faith estimate, with final offers based on location, experience, skills, and qualifications. The listed range reflects base salary only; our total rewards include base salary, comprehensive benefits (medical, dental, vision, 401(k) with match, unlimited PTO), and depending on the role, bonuses, commissions, or equity (RSUs).
