Key skills for this role
We are hiring a Manager, Sales Development in London to build and scale a next-generation sales development program at Cursor. This won’t be a traditional SDR team focused on dialing through lists. Instead, this leader will design and run a modern program centered on demand interception, PLG signals, and creative automation experiments in close partnership with Growth and RevOps.
You’ll be responsible for building and scaling a high-velocity team of Account Associates who operate with a builder’s mindset. This team will launch new outbound automation plays, capture and act on signals from our self-serve funnel, and develop repeatable playbooks to convert lower-tier paid users into long-term, high-value customers. Most importantly, you’ll do this while standing up a scalable outbound motion to consistently break into strategic enterprise accounts and drive meaningful evaluations of Cursor.
This is a foundational leadership role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, loves experimenting with new go-to-market tactics, and is passionate about redefining what sales development can look like.
