Our team of over 200 employees thinks big and moves fast, and we're looking for smart, hardworking builders and scalers to join us on our journey to create a better future of work.
About this role We are looking for an execution-oriented leader to help us scale our central revenue operations function. Central revenue operations will lead and run global processes across capacity planning, territory, design, commissions, and policies. As we scale globally, staying consistent and unified in our GTM efforts is paramount. You'll be a key stakeholder in creating alignment and leading the organization in making important decisions that impact every field team member. Our ideal candidate is in the details, understands their models and assumptions deeply, and can communicate complexity in an understandable way to leaders across departments. You'll start managing some contractors but will eventually lead a team of full-time employees as we grow. You'll work alongside revenue operations leadership who's built all of the initial infrastructure, who can help you onboard, and provide context on current state, and can work alongside you in the trenches.
What's in it for you It's an incredibly dynamic role — you'll jump from highly stimulating topics that span high-level GTM strategy, roadmaps, and execution plans. You'll lead key projects that are directly tied to impact.
You'll work on a team that gives you a high degree of autonomy, trusts your intuition, and invests in your growth. We're action and impact oriented. We value high-quality execution and strive to create a working environment that allows you to move fast and learn.
You'll work with a manager who also "shovels dirt" and rolls up their sleeves to get work done; they'll have "done it before" and so will have a deeper empathy for your day-to-day. Your manager will also provide context and visibility, allowing you to build deeper relationships and intuition that'll help you scale out your impact.
For someone self-motivated and with a problem-solving mindset, you'll find a greenfield opportunity. You'll own and scale out a revenue operations function that's one of the best in SaaS. There'll be opportunities to build horizontally through cross-functional initiatives as well as vertically as you become a trusted advisor across revenue leadership.
Your responsibilities Territories: Create a territory-carving process, using technology, and sync it with hiring projections, GTM strategy, and marketing/SDR pipeline initiatives. Create alignment with all GTM functions on which territories and accounts to tackle.
Commissions: Lead our efforts to design our commissions strategy, administer commission plans, and run the monthly commission cycle to ensure our field teams are paid consistently and correctly.
Modeling: Build and maintain a model in partnership with sales/CS, marketing, HR, and finance to synchronize our hiring plans, our sales capacity, our support ratios, and pipeline targets to ensure we're growing in a balanced way across the organization.
Reporting: Build reporting and dashboards that create clarity for the rest of the organization, primarily within Salesforce or our BI tool. Reporting requests can span from ad-hoc reporting for sales reps, to board-level reporting.
