Responsibilities

Own the operating rhythm, analytics, and tooling that help our Enterprise and Embedded Business Units hit and exceed revenue targets.

In this role, you will also be responsible to:

  • Operations Strategy & Execution

    • Define a cohesive Field Operations strategy that improves seller productivity, pipeline health, and forecast accuracy.

    • Rapidly move from high-level objectives into detailed operating plans, playbooks, and cadences.

    • Lead strategic projects that “sharpen the saw” (upsell/cross-sell motions, ROE updates, coverage models).

  • GTM Design & Territory/Account Strategy

    • Co-own territory design and optimization (tiering, account scoring, balance of customers vs. prospects, secondary territories for ramping reps).

    • Support new geo/industry expansion through TAM assessment, segmentation modeling, and channel strategy recommendations.

  • Forecasting, Pipeline & Performance Analytics

    • Run weekly forecast and pipeline cadences; drive create-and-close predictability.

    • Build dashboards for current & next-quarter forecast, coverage, conversion by stage, linearity, deal size/length, rep attainment, and productivity.

    • Identify performance/leverage points and partner with leaders to action them.

  • Process Excellence, Tools & Systems

    • Design seller-first processes that scale 

    • Guide roadmap and adoption for the GTM tech stack; ensure data integrity and usable governance.

    • Serve as the data counterpart to BU leaders; turn insights into decisions and outcomes.

  • Incentives, SPIFFs & Governance

    • Co-own SPIFF programs with Sales Compensation to ensure incentive alignment and guardrails against gaming.

    • Liaise with Payroll to ensure accurate, timely payouts; maintain clear ROE and deal-split arbitration processes.

  • Planning & Org Effectiveness

    • Drive annual/long-range planning: bottoms-up capacity, quota setting/load, hiring & attrition modeling.

    • Partner on sales org design; identify key hires and build a high-performing, learning-oriented culture.

    • Support change management, proactive talent planning, and conflict resolution across Field teams.

  • Executive Partnership

    • Act as confidant/advisor to Enterprise & Embedded VPs; track top priorities and drive action-item closure.

    • Assist with decision briefs, program management, and cross-functional alignment to deliver BU priorities.

    • Lead preparation and execution of Sales QBRs and Executive presentations, ensuring alignment on performance metrics, strategic priorities and operational initiatives

RequirementsQualifications / Experience / Technical Skills
  • 5–7+ years in Sales/Revenue Operations in B2B SaaS 

  • Expert in Salesforce (admin-level proficiency), forecasting frameworks, and GTM analytics; strong Excel/Sheets; familiarity with BI (e.g., Sigma, Tableau, Looker).

  • Demonstrated success designing territories/coverage, running forecast cadences, and operationalizing change at scale.

Soft Skills / Personal Characteristics
  • Strong executive presence; able to distill complex analysis into crisp recommendations and drive cross-functional alignment.

  • Curiosity and problem solving mindset

  • Bias to action, systems thinking, and a seller-obsessed mindset.

The pay for this role may range between $120,000 - $150,000 plus variable, benefits, perks, and equity.
