Central Planning, Sr Strategy & Ops Manager — Emerging Mid-Market

Emerging Mid-Market (EMM) is one of QuickBooks’ highest-leverage growth bets — and it is scaling faster than the planning infrastructure behind it. This role stands up the planning command center for EMM: an independent forecast and point of view the team owns, a disciplined rhythm of business, and quota and capacity plans that connect targets to the inputs required to hit them. Sitting in the Planning & Reporting Center of Excellence and partnering closely with EMM Sales leadership and Finance, you turn a reactive, run-the-business reporting function into a forward-looking planning engine.

Responsibilities

Forecast & World-View

• Build and own an independent EMM forecast and revenue point of view — a world-view the team owns, not a roll-up of others’ numbers

• Drive forecast hygiene and deal-signal discipline (e.g., Gong-based forecasting), with weekly accuracy and variance analysis against plan

• Maintain the planning source of truth — weekly channel splits and operational plans — as the single reference for EMM targets

Rhythm of Business & Reporting

• Run the EMM rhythm of business — own the WBR/QBR cadence, the materials, and the follow-through on decisions

• Produce business performance reporting that sales leadership and Finance trust and act on

• Automate recurring reporting to remove manual effort and free the team for higher-value work

Quota & Capacity Planning

• Own EMM quota and capacity planning — translate segment targets into seller-level quotas and the inputs required to hit them

• Build and maintain a CAC-rightsized capacity model that connects investment to required capacity and expected output

• Manage Anaplan hierarchy and planning data integrity; partner with Finance on forecasting and quota setting

Qualifications

This role is for a planner who owns the numbers end to end — rigorous enough that leaders forecast and staff with confidence, and clear enough to turn a model into a decision.

Required

• 5–8 years in sales planning, revenue / sales operations, FP&A, or business analytics at a SaaS or technology company

• Proven experience owning forecasting and a revenue point of view — building bottoms-up models and explaining variance to plan

• Hands-on quota and capacity planning — translating targets into seller-level goals and the inputs required to hit them

• Advanced modeling in Excel / Google Sheets; proficiency with a planning platform (Anaplan or similar) and BI tools (Tableau); SQL a plus

• Agentic AI fluency - had experience running State of the Art AI tool stack with agentic go-to-market use cases

• Strong command of the sales funnel and core B2B SaaS metrics — pipeline, conversion, productivity, and ARR

• Exceptional attention to detail and data integrity — your numbers are trusted without re-checking

• Clear communication — able to turn a forecast or capacity model into a story leaders and Finance act on

• Comfort in a fast-paced, dynamic environment; Bachelor’s in Finance, Economics, Business, or a related quantitative field

Preferred

• Experience standing up or running a rhythm of business (WBR / QBR) for a sales organization

• Familiarity with Anaplan hierarchy management and forecasting tools such as Gong

• Track record of automating recurring reporting to reduce manual effort

• Familiarity with QuickBooks Advanced or the SMB / Emerging Mid-Market segment

• Prior partnership with Finance on forecasting and quota setting

• Github repositories to showcase AI GTM fluency
