About the role

Responsibilities
- Act as the operations partner to the Chief Revenue Officer, owning the Revenue organization’s operating cadence, preparing the CRO for the meetings that matter, capturing commitments made in those meetings, and driving them to closure across the leadership team.
- Own the metrics layer for the sales organization, including pipeline coverage and health, conversion and velocity, quota attainment, productivity, and forecast accuracy, with consistent definitions and reporting leadership trusts.
- Run the weekly forecast process end to end, including roll-up, inspection, risk and upside assessment, and the accuracy analysis that improves the call over time.
- Drive major cross-functional initiatives on behalf of the CRO from framing through delivery, holding functional owners to timelines, surfacing risk early, and escalating only what genuinely requires the CRO.
- Serve as the working lead to the sales analyst team, setting analytical standards, reviewing and raising the quality of their output, prioritizing their work against business need, and mentoring them without a formal reporting relationship.
- Partner with sales leadership on performance management, including rep and team scorecards, attainment and coverage analysis, quarterly business review preparation, and the analysis that supports difficult personnel decisions.
- Support headcount planning and hiring for the sales organization in partnership with Talent Acquisition and Finance, including requisition sequencing, capacity and ramp modeling, interview participation, and time-to-productivity tracking.
- Lead territory, quota, and capacity planning cycles in partnership with GTM Strategy and Finance, and support in modeling the revenue impact of coverage and segmentation changes.
- Apply AI as the default working method, using it to compress analysis, reporting, meeting preparation, and executive communication as well as systems and process improvements.
- Handle confidential information regarding compensation, performance, organizational design, and strategy with complete discretion.
- Take on unscoped and ambiguous problems as they surface, prioritizing business impact over role boundaries on a lean team.
