About the role
- Pipeline Management & Deal Velocity
- Friction Removal: Work directly with Sales Management to unblock high-priority deals, ensuring they move through approval gates and legal reviews as quickly as possible.
- Forecasting Partnership: Partner with Sales Leadership to provide an accurate, risk-adjusted view of the pipeline, ensuring that "target-critical" deals are prioritised and cleared in partnership with stakeholders.
- The Traffic Controller: Proactively monitor the DACH sales pipeline to identify deals that are stalling.

- Salesforce & Data Mastery

- Systems Expert: Act as the point of contact for Salesforce optimisation, ensuring that our processes work for the team.
