Job Description
Who we are
Employment Hero is on a mission to make employment easier and more valuable for everyone. Our Employment Operating System brings hiring, HR, payroll and benefits into an all-in-one solution.
Since our inception in 2014, we’ve scaled to a $2 billion valuation and gained a presence in 6 countries globally - Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, the UK and Canada. We now service over 300,000 businesses and more than 2 million employees.
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
What we need
We’re looking for SDR Sales Enablement Coach to drive performance coaching for our NZ-based SDR team, across Core, and Mid-Market segments in both Inbound and Outbound. In this role, you’ll act as a hands-on coach and quality champion — spending your time in the field running 1:1 sessions, shadowing live calls and reviewing recorded calls, and quickly identifying and addressing performance gaps.
Your mission is to elevate SDR performance by coaching to best-in-class standards and improving funnel metrics like MQL-to-SAO conversion, connect rates, demo sit rates, and revenue. You’ll drive excellence by lifting both quantity (activity, connect rates, pipeline coverage) and quality (targeting, messaging, and CRM discipline). This role is truly unique as you will be working in tandem with SDR managers and alongside a team of Performance Coaches developing reps skills, mindset and consistency to influence revenue. SDRs at Employment Hero are some of the most commercially astute and get the rare challenge to own deep discovery.
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 SDR engine.
We are open to candidates based in New Zealand OR Australia for this role.
