Lead Generation Manager

Anyone can verify an email. The real skill is knowing which US company is about to hire ten engineers, and exactly who's making that call. That's the job.
About Cindavi
Cindavi connects top engineering and scientific talent with growing companies across the United States. We're inspired by Da Vinci's spirit of invention and treat our work as building the future of science and technology, not just filling seats. We're hiring a Lead Generation Manager to lead our research team and make sure our sales floor is always pointed at the right targets.
The Role
You won't carry a personal lead quota. Your job is bigger than that. You own how well an 8-person team finds the right companies and the right people to put in front of our sales reps.
The hard part, and the part that matters most, is targeting. Which US companies are actively hiring engineers right now? Who is the hiring manager actually making that decision? Getting that right is the difference between a sales rep having a real conversation and a sales rep wasting a day on a dead list. Once the right targets are identified, your team verifies and enriches the contact data to a 90 to 95 percent accuracy rate.
You'll report directly to our co-founder who leads Sales and Business Development, and you'll own the full research function end to end.
What You'll Do
Lead the day-to-day work of an 8-person research team and own the quality of everything they produce
Drive the targeting strategy: identify which US companies are hiring engineers and pinpoint the right hiring managers to reach
Run quality assurance on contact data to hold the team to a 90 to 95 percent accuracy rate
Coach and performance-manage the team against daily and weekly accuracy and volume targets
Build, refine, and enforce the research processes and SOPs that keep output sharp and consistent
Work closely with sales leadership so the research pipeline always matches what the outbound team needs
What You Bring
5 or more years managing a team of lead researchers, sourcers, or data analysts inside an outbound or B2B sales organization
A real track record of identifying high-value target accounts and the right contacts inside them, not just cleaning lists
Experience building and enforcing quality standards for research or contact data
A history of coaching a team to hit daily and weekly accuracy and volume targets
Fluency with sourcing and research platforms: Apollo.io, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Indeed, Glassdoor, and Microsoft Excel
The ability to own the research function fully, end to end, without heavy hand-holding
What Sets You Apart
Experience in the staffing or recruiting industry
You've scaled an outbound research team before
Exposure to engineering or technical hiring processes and terminology
Why This Role
This is a fully remote seat on a US company's core revenue engine, with genuine room to grow as we scale. Competitive base, real bonus upside, and direct line to a founder. If you treat lead research as detective work and take pride in pointing a sales team at exactly the right people, we want to talk.
