Sales Development Manager

About Netskope

Today, there's more data and users outside the enterprise than inside, causing the network perimeter as we know it to dissolve. We realized a new perimeter was needed, one that is built in the cloud and follows and protects data wherever it goes, so we started Netskope to redefine Cloud, Network and Data Security.

Since 2012, we have built the market-leading cloud security company and an award-winning culture powered by hundreds of employees spread across offices in Santa Clara, St. Louis, Bangalore, London, Paris, Melbourne, Taipei, and Tokyo. Our core values are openness, honesty, and transparency, and we purposely developed our open desk layouts and large meeting spaces to support and promote partnerships, collaboration, and teamwork. From catered lunches and office celebrations to employee recognition events and social professional groups such as the Awesome Women of Netskope (AWON), we strive to keep work fun, supportive and interactive.

About the Position

Netskope is the global leader in cloud security and a pioneer of the Security Service Edge (SSE) category. With over 3,000 employees across 30+ countries and consistent recognition as a leader by Gartner, Forrester, and IDC, we are one of the fastest-growing companies in enterprise security.

We are hiring an SDR Manager to lead a regional Sales Development team within our global revenue organization. Sales Development at Netskope operates as a strategic pillar of GTM with two equal mandates: build qualified pipeline that fuels the business, and develop the next generation of revenue talent at the company. This role owns both.

Your mission is to produce a team of SDRs who consistently exceed pipeline targets and graduate into top-performing AEs and GTM leaders at Netskope. You will set the bar, hire to it, coach to it, and hold it.

This is not a role for managers who have lost touch with the craft. It is for leaders who can diagnose what is actually holding a rep back, coach them not just on the what but on the how, and produce real change in the way their reps think and execute. This is for builders who want to produce the kind of SDRs this company will be built on for the next decade.

What We're Looking For

• 2+ years leading an SDR team with a track record you can prove: promotions, attainment, stack rank, and rep retention
• Prior IC SDR experience, ideally with proof of top performance in seat before you moved into leadership
• Active AI fluency. You use AI in your own workflow today and can teach your team to do the same
• A high-bar approach to hiring. Structured process, real scorecards, and the discipline to hold the line under headcount pressure
• Real coaching chops. You can break down a call, deliver direct feedback, and point to specific reps you have developed into top performers
• Operational command. You run your business by the numbers and know your leading indicators cold
• Comfort leading a team through ambiguity. You make decisions with incomplete information and bring your reps with you
• Communication credibility across IC, peer, and executive audiences

Why Netskope

Cybersecurity and AI are among the most valuable categories in enterprise technology, and Netskope is at the center of both. Our SDR organization is being built as a strategic GTM pillar - not a cost center or a marketing handoff. The investment in tooling, coaching infrastructure, and career architecture reflects that. Managers here build real teams, develop real talent, and graduate their people into roles that compound across the company.

If you want to build something that lasts, this is built for you.

Before You Apply

• Do real research before you reach out. The strongest applications come from leaders who already understand what we do, why it matters, and why they want to lead a team here. The best ones go further. They reach out with specificity, with a point of view on how they would build the team, and with evidence they can already do this job.
• Show us. Region and in-office expectations to be confirmed during the recruiter pre-screen.
