  • Define and scale meaningful KPIs—including territory design, spans & layers, coverage, and capacity models—to guide resourcing and organizational design.
  • Partner with Finance on quarterly budget reviews and headcount plans, ensuring tradeoffs are data driven and timely.
  • Serve as the operational lift and leverage for the CRO on the company’s most critical priorities; act as proxy/POC for the field, the Office of the CEO, and functional partners.
  • Drive and facilitate marquee sales initiatives (e.g., Diamond Accounts program, Government, and Generative AI board initiatives) to ensure clarity of goals, milestones, and resourcing.
  • Lead cross functional initiatives across Sales, Marketing, Customer Success/Advocacy, and Partner ecosystems; remove roadblocks and institutionalize best practices.
  • Partner with the People team on sales hiring plan execution and enablement priorities that improve ramp and productivity.
  • Prepare executive level communications and narratives for the CRO (ELT, Board, investors) with crisp insights, decisions required, and risks/options.
  • Game plan and facilitate biweekly Global Sales Meetings, ensuring the field receives clear, timely direction and follow-ups are closed.
