If you’re looking for a place where ownership, collaboration, and creativity thrive, this is it.
The Role
We’re looking for a strategic and data-driven Revenue Operations Lead to supercharge our lead-to-cash motion.

Reporting to the VP of Marketing, and partnering closely with our CFO and Chief Commercial Officer, you’ll build the operational foundation that aligns the business and enables us to move fast, measure effectively, and deliver results.
You will serve as the primary owner of go-to-market operations, with a focus on driving alignment, consistency, and efficiency across all GTM functions.

Revenue Execution Infrastructure: Own, manage and maintain workflows, tooling, and operating rhythms that fuel consistent revenue execution. Lead the adoption and adherence to new workflows and tools, providing training and support as needed.
Cross-Functional Alignment: Drive process clarity, documentation, and performance tracking to ensure every team is rowing in the same direction. Collaborate closely with Product, Engineering, and Customer Success to resolve operational gaps and inefficiencies.
Finance Partnership: Collaborate on pricing strategy, execution, and revenue reporting. Ensure tight alignment between GTM and Finance.
KPI Frameworks: Define and track operational metrics to measure funnel health, forecast accuracy, and scale readiness. Manage and improve data pipelines by partnering with data engineers, data scientists, and analytics teams to deliver actionable insights.
Operate Independently: Adapt quickly to changing priorities and operate with a strong bias for action, driving continuous improvement initiatives in a scaling environment.
