Key Responsibilities

• Serve as the operational counterpart to sales leaders in executing against sales KPIs and business objectives.

What You’ll Do

• Pipeline & Forecast Analysis:  Own analysis of the sales pipeline from leads through closed deals.

• Sales Performance Insights:  Analyze key sales metrics, including pipeline generation, coverage, win rates, conversion rates, sales cycle length, and retention. Identify trends and bottlenecks, investigate underlying causes, and recommend actions that improve sales productivity and outcomes.
• AI & Process Improvement:  Identify and implement practical uses of AI and automation across sales operations. Examples include accelerating analysis, summarizing pipeline and forecast changes, drafting business review narratives, and automating recurring reporting tasks. Measure the impact on time saved, accuracy, or business outcomes, and document effective workflows so others can use them.
• Visualization & Storytelling:  Maintain dashboards and reports that give stakeholders timely visibility into business performance. Translate complex findings into clear executive presentations, highlighting what changed, why it matters, and what action to take.
• Data Quality & Validation:  Maintain reliable reporting and CRM data. Validate AI-generated analyses, calculations, and summaries against source data, apply business judgment, and use company-approved tools in accordance with data privacy and security requirements.
