The EH Way

At Employment Hero, we’re proud of our unique DNA, which we call The EH Way.  

We are Mission First - everything we do (from what we work on, to how we allocate capital and where we focus) is driven by our Mission

We are Remote First - we champion a remote environment with a preference for asynchronous communication and a high degree of autonomy 

We are AI First - we are committed to using AI to accelerate our mission; AI is not just a tool, it’s a fundamental part of how we operate, innovate, and scale

We are Apolitical - we do not take a position on political or social topics, unless it relates to our Mission

We Live by Our Values - we role model our values 100% of the time

We Expect High Performance - we set a high standard and we’re not satisfied with being average

This role 

We’re looking for a Sales Enablement Specialist to lead performance coaching across our Outbound SDR function, supporting both Core and Mid-Market segments. As a hands-on coach and quality champion, you’ll spend your time in the field running 1:1 coaching sessions, listening to live calls, reviewing outreach, and diagnosing performance gaps in real time.

Your mission is to elevate SDR performance, scale outbound to best-in-class standards, and improve key funnel metrics including MQL>SAO conversion, call-to-connect, connect-to-opportunity, and demo sit rates. You’ll drive outbound excellence by lifting both quantity (activity, connect rates, pipeline coverage) and quality (targeting, messaging, and CRM discipline). In close partnership with SDR Managers, you'll help reps develop the skills, mindset, and consistency to influence revenue — not just generate leads.

At Employment Hero, we believe SDRs are revenue influencers. This role will help embed that belief across the business. By setting clear standards, optimising processes, and coaching relentlessly, you’ll help reps balance high-volume activity with relevant, high-impact conversations. Your work will fuel pipeline growth, strengthen conversion rates, and scale a high-performing outbound engine.

Outbound Program & Channel Growth

Collaborate & Commercial Impact

• Work closely with SDR Managers to support team coaching and performance goals.
• Align outbound strategy with GTM initiatives, product launches, and campaign priorities.
• Champion a culture of high performance, growth mindset, and measurable impact.
• Act as a force multiplier by amplifying strategic outbound initiatives across global teams.
