Enterprise Development Manager

Why Join Giga

• The Pace: We're building at a speed most companies talk about but never actually operate at. If you've been bored somewhere else, you won't be here.
• The Impact: Every person at Giga touches the work that matters. No layers, no waiting for approval chains. You'll see your fingerprints on what we ship.
• The Team: A team of operators defining the future of AI infrastructure. We recruit A-players from the most innovative companies in the world, and they choose Giga because the work here means more.
• The Moment: AI doesn't run without power, and that's us. Giga is the picks and shovels behind the AI revolution. This industry is about to explode, and you'll be in the room where it's already happening.

What You'll Do

Giga is building the commercial engine that will power the next generation of energy infrastructure — from AI data centers to utility-scale power. We have the product, the pipeline, and the ambition. What we need now is someone to build the outbound machine that fills the top of the funnel with the right conversations.

As our Enterprise Development Manager, you'll build Giga's SDR function from the ground up. This isn't a role where you inherit a team and optimize — it's a role where you design the playbook, hire the people, set the cadence, and create the pipeline generation engine that fuels multi-million-dollar enterprise deals across the Data Center Industry.

You'll own the strategy, the team, and the number. You'll work directly with our sales leadership to define the ICP, build outbound sequences, establish qualification frameworks, and create a repeatable motion that scales. The buyers you're going after are hyperscalers, data center developers, utilities, and C-suite decision makers at some of the largest companies in the world — so the bar for quality, messaging, and business acumen is high.

This role is for someone who has built outbound teams before and is currently a frontline leader, knows what good looks like, and is ready to do it again at a company where the market opportunity is massive and the pace is fast. If you get energy from creating something from nothing — and from coaching a team to perform at a level they didn't think was possible — this is the job.

Where You'll Work

This role will be based in our Houston office. You must be willing to work in the office full-time, outside of our bi-weekly WFH Fridays. Employees will be able to work remotely for up to 4 weeks per year.

We're onsite because velocity matters when you're building physical infrastructure. Solving complex problems in real-time with Manufacturing, Engineering, and Finance leaders is how we move faster than a slow, antiquated industry.

Responsibilities

• Build and lead the SDR team — recruit, hire, onboard, and develop a high-performing team of enterprise SDRs focused on outbound pipeline generation across Giga's three business units: AI data centers, energy infrastructure, and power markets
• Own the pipeline number — set and deliver against monthly and quarterly qualified pipeline targets that directly feed the enterprise sales team's revenue goals
• Owns all inbound pipeline management — including phone and email inquiries — triaging, qualifying, and routing leads to the appropriate Account Executives as needed.
• Develops and owns the inbound SLA framework — establishing response time standards and quality benchmarks for phone and email inquiries, and ensuring consistent delivery and accountability across the team.
• Coach and develop SDRs — run daily standups, weekly 1:1s, call reviews, and pipeline sessions that build skills, drive accountability, and elevate the quality of every prospect interaction. Set a high bar and hold it
• Partner with sales leadership — work closely with enterprise Account Executives and sales leadership to ensure alignment on ICP, qualification standards, handoff process, and feedback loops between SDR activity and deal outcomes
• Build and manage the tech stack and reporting infrastructure — implement and optimize the tools, workflows, and dashboards needed to run a data-driven SDR operation (CRM hygiene, activity tracking, conversion metrics, pipeline attribution)
• Develop messaging and positioning for outbound — collaborate with marketing and sales to craft compelling, market-specific outreach that resonates with C-suite and VP-level buyers at hyperscalers, data center developers, utilities, and energy companies
• Iterate and scale — continuously test, measure, and refine the outbound motion based on data and results. What works at 3 SDRs should be ready to scale to 10+
• Represent the voice of the market internally — surface insights from thousands of prospect conversations to inform product positioning, competitive strategy, and go-to-market decisions

Requirements

• 3 - 5 + years of experience in B2B sales development or inside sales, with at least 2 years in a frontline people management role. 
• Track record of building an outbound function or SDR team from early stage — you've designed playbooks, hired and ramped reps, and built the processes that drive predictable pipeline
• Experience selling into enterprise accounts with complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles and deal sizes of $1M+
• Proven ability to recruit, develop, and retain high-performing SDRs — you know how to identify raw talent, coach it, and create an environment where people grow fast
• Strong command of sales development tools and CRM platforms (e.g., Salesforce, Outreach, Apollo, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, ZoomInfo, or equivalent)
• Data-driven approach to managing performance — you set clear KPIs, inspect what you expect, and make decisions based on conversion data, not gut feel
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills — you can craft outbound messaging that earns a reply from a VP at a Fortune 500 company, and you can coach your team to do the same
• Leads from the front — in the early days, you'll roll up your sleeves to shape the playbook, validate the process, and set the standard — not as an IC, but as a leader who knows what great looks like and builds the team and systems to get there.
• Comfort with ambiguity and speed — Giga operates in a fast-moving market with multiple business units. You thrive in environments where the playbook doesn't exist yet and you have to write it

Bonus Points

• Experience in energy, power infrastructure, data centers, or climate tech industries
• Familiarity with Top EPCs. General and Electrical Contractors along with  AI infrastructure, hyperscaler buying processes, or colocation/turnkey data center sales
• Experience at a high-growth startup where you built the SDR function during a period of rapid scaling (Series B–D or equivalent stage)
• Background as a top-performing SDR or AE before moving into management — you've carried a bag and know what it takes
• Experience with Greenhouse ATS, Gong, or similar revenue intelligence tools
• Familiarity with account-based marketing (ABM) strategies and how SDR outbound integrates with marketing-led demand generation

Who We Hire

We don't use "A-player" loosely. Here's what it actually means at Giga:

Antifragile. You don't just survive chaos, you get better because of it. When things break, change, or move sideways, you don't freeze. You adapt faster than the problem evolves.

High Agency. You don't wait to be told what to do. You see the gap, you fill it. If something is blocking progress, you find a way around it, over it, or through it without asking for permission.

Executors. Ideas are cheap. We hire people who ship. You're the person who turns a whiteboard sketch into something real while everyone else is still scheduling the next meeting about it.

Bias to Action. Perfect is the enemy of done. You'd rather make a decision with 80% of the information and course correct than sit around waiting for 100% that never comes.

Speed. We move fast because the opportunity demands it. You're not reckless, but you understand that in this industry, the team that moves fastest wins. And you like winning.
