Why Hover wants you

We're looking for an SDR Manager to own the top of the funnel for our Construction sales organization and lead the team that opens doors at those companies. This is a chance to step into people leadership with real impact: you'll report directly to our VP of Sales, partner with executives and sales leaders across the business, and build a team that grows as Hover grows. If you've been a top SDR, love coaching others, and want to own a number that directly drives company growth, we'd love to meet you.
