Position Summary
The Inside Sales Manager is a senior, stand-alone role responsible for executing and owning the inside sales process from qualified lead intake through formal proposal and handoff to Outside Sales.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

Partner closely with:

Business Development on opportunity quality and early-stage context

Marketing on lead quality feedback and campaign effectiveness

Outside Sales on opportunity progression and closure readiness
- Act as a trusted commercial thought partner for the GM.
