The role

Ideals has built a strong enterprise footprint in Greater China through deep advisory relationships and vertical specialization over eight consecutive years. This role expands that reach into the SMB and long-tail segment – a high-velocity motion that requires both commercial instinct and disciplined execution.

As Inside Sales Manager, Greater China, you’ll lead a blended team of Inside Account Executives (IAEs) and Sales Development Representatives (SDRs), driving pipeline generation, accelerating deal velocity, and expanding our customer base across high-volume, smaller-sized accounts. You’ll work closely with our global VP of Inside Sales, Greater China Director of Business Development, RevOps, and Marketing teams to build a repeatable, scalable inside sales engine for the region.

  • Own and deliver monthly and quarterly revenue targets for the SMB and long-tail segment across Greater China

  • Develop territory and account coverage strategies to maximize reach across high-volume, low-touch accounts

  • Define the ideal customer profile (ICP) and work with Marketing to align demand generation for the SMB segment

  • Drive multi-channel outreach strategies (phone, email, WeChat, social selling) tailored to the Greater China market

  • Set and track SDR KPIs while overseeing the whole function: outbound prospecting cadences, inbound lead qualification, and handoff processes to IS AEs

  • Monitor pipeline health, conversion rates, and forecast accuracy across the team

  • Ensure CRM hygiene and a consistent reporting cadence to leadership

  • Partner with Revenue Operations to design and refine sales processes, playbooks, and tooling for inside sales motions

What you bring

  • 5+ years of B2B inside sales experience, with at least 2 years in a sales management or team lead capacity

Nice to have

  • Experience in compliance and legal technology, compliance technology, financial data management, or adjacent enterprise SaaS categories
