Role Summary

Eightfold is seeking a Director of Revenue Operations to serve as a key architect of our GTM engine. Reporting directly to the Head of Strategy, Revenue, & Operations, this leader will own the systems, processes, and analytics that power revenue performance across Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, and Partners. This is a high-impact, high-visibility role for a builder who operates equally well at the strategic and executional levels — someone who can translate pipeline signals into a trusted company forecast, design compensation programs that drive the right behaviors, and own the operating cadence that keeps our GTM teams aligned and moving fast.

This role is ideal for a proven RevOps or GTM Strategy leader who has scaled global revenue operations functions in high-growth SaaS or AI companies and is ready to take on a broader scope in a pivotal moment of transformation.

Key Responsibilities

Revenue Intelligence & Forecasting

• Own company-wide revenue forecasting across new business, expansion, renewals, and agentic offerings
• Lead multi-year top-line revenue planning (e.g., 3-year FY forecasts) and drive annual capacity planning processes
• Build and maintain a pipeline model used to set global and regional pipeline goals and inform marketing budget allocation
• Build predictive models for pipeline coverage, conversion, and retention
• Identify risks and opportunities through proactive, forward-looking insights — not retrospective reporting
• Deliver executive-level reporting and insights to the CEO, CGO, CRO, CMO, and Board
• Establish a single, trusted version of truth across Sales, Marketing, and Customer Success
  
  

GTM Planning & Performance Design

• Lead annual GTM strategy development; serve as a key stakeholder during periods of rapid change (e.g., the company's significant shift to leading with agentic AI)
• Lead territory design, quota setting, and headcount capacity planning for AEs, RVPs, and other GTM roles
• Design compensation plan structures for all GTM roles — Direct Sales, Solutions Consulting, Partners, Customer Success, SDRs, and GTM Leadership
• Build GTM comp costing models to ensure plans fit within defined budget parameters
• Ensure compensation structures comply with all relevant laws and regulations
• Develop segmentation strategies across enterprise, mid-market, and agentic motions
• Collaborate with GTM leadership to establish clear Roles & Responsibilities aligned to strategic priorities
• Partner with Finance to align revenue planning, forecasting, and reporting
  
  

Revenue Operations & Systems

• Own core revenue operations functions including:
• Deal Desk & pricing execution (CPQ, approvals, discounting)
• RFP / proposal management
• Revenue systems (Salesforce, tooling, automation)
• Data governance and integrity
• Develop and maintain commission-related policies, procedures, and administration
• Ensure accurate and timely commission payment; work cross-functionally with Finance and HR
• Ensure operational rigor and scalability across global GTM teams
  
  

Operating Cadence & Cross-Functional Alignment

• Establish and run a weekly and biweekly revenue operating cadence
• Drive cross-functional alignment and reconciliation across Sales, Marketing, and Customer Success
• Partner with CRO, CMO, and Customer Success leadership to diagnose gaps and drive action plans
• Ensure fast, decisive action on gaps, risks, and opportunities
• Serve as a trusted advisor to executive leadership on revenue performance and strategy
  
  

What Success Looks Like

• One unified, trusted revenue forecast across the company
• Clear accountability across Sales, Marketing, and Customer Success
• Improved forecast accuracy and pipeline predictability
• Faster deal velocity and stronger conversion rates
• Compensation structures that drive the right behaviors and fit within budget
• Scalable systems and processes that support growth
• A high-performing revenue operating cadence that drives decisions, not just reporting
  
  

Requirements

• 10–15 years of experience in Revenue Operations, GTM Strategy, Sales Compensation, or related roles in high-growth SaaS or AI companies
• Demonstrated experience owning and scaling global RevOps or Revenue Intelligence functions
• Proven track record in multi-year revenue forecasting and top-line planning
• Experience designing GTM compensation structures and managing comp costing models
• Strong analytical and financial modeling capabilities (forecasting, pipeline, conversion)
• Deep understanding of the full revenue lifecycle — marketing → sales → customer success
