Pool service owners run crews, routes, customers and billing, often on paper and late at night. Chisel Tide puts all of it in one place: scheduling, routes, invoicing and payments, with AI that handles the routine office work.
Chisel owns and operates pool service companies, and Tide is built alongside them. When you call an owner, you're selling something made by people who run the same kind of business.
We're hiring an SDR to get Tide in front of more pool service owners. You'll call them, learn how they run things, and book meetings with the ones Tide can help. If you've worked at a pool distributor, serviced pools, or run a service office, you already speak the language. No software sales experience needed.
The job
- Call pool service owners. This is a phone job: plan on 100 dials a day.
- Learn how they handle scheduling, routes, billing and customer communication.
- Explain Tide in plain terms and spot the businesses it fits.
- Book qualified meetings and demos, make sure the owner shows up, and hand the sales team clear notes on what they need and the next step.
- Follow up with owners who aren't ready yet.
- Keep the CRM accurate.
- Bring back what you hear from owners so we can sell and build Tide better.
You'll work from a researched, enriched list of target businesses, so your time goes into conversations, not list building.
How we measure it
The right owner shows up, there's a real need, and the next step is clear. At full ramp the target is 10+ qualified meetings a month, and ramp takes 4 weeks. You'll always know the number and how you're tracking against it.
Your first month
Product walkthroughs, demo shadowing and practice calls, then supported outreach. Weekly call reviews with the team in our San Francisco office. By the end of the month you own your account list.
Where it goes
Strong SDRs move into Account Executive roles, typically within 9-12 months. Along the way you'll work with product and onboarding, so you'll understand the whole business, not just the first call.
What you bring
- You pick up the phone and you follow through.
- You're curious about how small businesses actually run.
- You ask good questions and listen to the answers.
- You take feedback and get better fast.
- You're comfortable learning new software.
Experience in pool service, distribution, inside sales or customer service is a real plus.
The interview
You'll explain Tide to a pool service owner who still schedules on paper and sends invoices at night. We'll give you feedback and you'll try again. We're looking at how you communicate, the questions you ask, and how quickly you adjust. Nobody expects you to know Tide yet.
Pay and benefits
- $60,000 base salary.
- $20,000 commission at target, for $80,000 OTE. Uncapped + accelerators above target. You'll get the written plan, including how ramp works, before you accept.
- Health, dental, vision.
- In-office in San Francisco.
Apply
Share your resume and tell us about any pool, sales or customer-facing experience, and something you worked hard to accomplish.

Sales Development Manager Jobs in San Francisco: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a sales development manager job in San Francisco?
The strongest path is targeting San Francisco's dense cluster of SaaS, cybersecurity, and fintech companies in SoMa and Mission Bay, where SDR teams scale quickly and promote from within. Candidates who can show measurable pipeline contribution and experience with outbound sequencing tools stand out. Familiarity with the enterprise sales cycles common at Bay Area B2B companies gives you a concrete edge over generalist applicants.
Which companies hire sales development managers in San Francisco?
San Francisco sales development manager roles are posted by Ramp, ivo, and Brex and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. San Francisco's employer base skews heavily toward growth-stage and publicly traded tech companies, meaning openings often come with structured SDR development programs and clear promotion timelines.
Are there remote sales development manager jobs in San Francisco?
Yes, though the role is more hybrid than fully remote since team coaching, pipeline reviews, and cross-functional coordination often require in-person presence. About 57% of sales development manager openings tied to San Francisco are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting how Bay Area tech companies have settled into flexible work policies. Strategic planning and reporting responsibilities tend to be the most remote-compatible parts of the role in San Francisco.
How can I get a sales development manager job in San Francisco with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is starting as an SDR or inside sales rep at a growth-stage SaaS company in SoMa or the Financial District, where promotion to manager within 18 to 24 months is common for high performers. Many San Francisco startups and Series B companies prefer to promote proven SDRs into management rather than hire externally. Building fluency with CRM platforms and outbound tooling used across the Bay Area market accelerates that path considerably.
Which industries hire the most sales development managers in San Francisco?
The sectors hiring the most sales development managers in San Francisco are Technology & Software, Banking & Financial Services, and Science & Research, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. San Francisco's concentration of venture-backed technology companies and established enterprise software firms drives unusually high and sustained demand for SDR leadership compared to most other U.S. cities.
