  • Design, implement, and continuously optimize operating processes, tools, and methodologies that improve productivity, efficiency, and cross-functional alignment across Business Development, Solutions Consulting, and Go-To-Market Operations (GTM Operations)
  • Own reporting and insights for Business Development and Solutions Consulting, partnering with Sales Insights and Business Intelligence teams to build scalable reporting and deliver concise, executive-ready insights that inform decision-making

Who You Are

  • Bachelor's Degree in a quantitative/business-oriented field or equivalent practical experience
  • 4 years of experience in Go-to-Market Operations, Sales Strategy and Operations, or Revenue Operations, at a high-growth B2B SaaS company
  • Prior experience in territory management, quota setting, commissions, and forecasting processes
