  • Shape and manage the objectives and operating cadence of Revenue leadership team meetings - facilitating discussions on the right topics and managing follow-up on action items
  • Lead and organize content creation for board materials, QBRs, and key documents related to revenue performance and strategy
  • Track and impact pipeline, conversion, and attainment signals across verticals/segments, flagging risks and recommending corrective action
