Sales Development Lead

Hey! We're team Granola 👋

If you haven't already, you should check out what we're building, and why you should work here.

What began as an AI notepad for back-to-back meetings has become a shared team workspace and second brain. Granola spreads organically inside companies, often starting with a senior leader and quickly cascading across teams.

Today, Granola is used at many of the world’s top and fastest-growing companies like Vercel, Cursor, Lovable, Decagon as well as leading technology companies like Salesforce and Doordash.

Designed and built in London, Granola now serves a predominantly US customer base, and we're fuelling that growth by expanding our GTM teams in both London and San Francisco.

Granola is already loved by people inside the companies we want to work with. You’ll help turn that engagement into enterprise opportunities, while developing creative outbound strategies to reach new customers.

You’ll hire, coach, and lead our SDR team, working closely with Account Executives and sales leadership to shape our approach. This is a hands-on role: you’ll test ideas yourself, learn what works, and help the team turn those lessons into repeatable results.

We’re especially excited about someone who uses AI and automation thoughtfully to improve account research, prioritization, and outreach, while keeping customer conversations personal and relevant.

Lastly, we think amazing talent comes from all kinds of life journeys and experiences. If what is written above speaks to you, whether you look like a fit on paper or not, please reach out.
