Partner with North America sales leaders and the VP of Revenue Operations.
8+ years in Revenue Operations, Sales Operations or a related GTM operations role at a SaaS or technology company, including 3+ years leading a team.
Breadth across the 5 areas: hands-on depth in some and enough credibility in the rest to lead them well.
Strong command of Salesforce and a BI tool (Looker, Tableau or similar), and comfort making decisions from data.
Experience running or supporting commission plans, and working closely with Finance.
Familiarity with automation, AI tooling and GTM engineering, and a track record of using them to remove manual work.
Experience leading in a matrix or dotted-line structure, ideally a regional team inside a global function.
Strong stakeholder management with sales leaders and executives, and the ability to hold a position when the data supports it.
Based in North America, with working overlap with our European teams.
A plus: experience in B2B SaaS across multiple segments and regions.
