• Architect and manage a high-performing sales engine : develop and refine the operating model, cadence, KPIs, and forecasting methodologies to ensure precision in planning and execution.
• Optimize the sales process end-to-end : from lead qualification and opportunity management to closing - to shorten cycles, increase win rates, and improve rep productivity.
• Partner with Marketing, Sales Ops, Product, and Customer Success to align the full GTM motion around a shared set of metrics and customer insights.
• Build and maintain detailed dashboards and reporting frameworks to drive data-driven decisions and pipeline transparency across the organization.
• Recruit, develop, and retain world-class sales talent. Implement structured onboarding, coaching, and career development to build bench strength and scale leadership capacity.
• Provide clear structure and accountability across the team while empowering Sales Managers and Account Executives to operate with ownership and autonomy.
• Ensure CRM data integrity, hygiene, and compliance with defined sales methodologies (e.g., MEDDPICC / MEDDIC), enabling accurate forecasting and performance management.
• Continuously analyze market dynamics and feedback loops to refine segmentation, pricing, sales motions, and competitive positioning.
• Actively support large, strategic deals by removing roadblocks, guiding strategy, and ensuring cross-functional alignment.
