Full Job Description

This role is equal parts strategist, operator, and system architect.

  • Own the end-to-end sales process and the Salesforce platform that powers it. Manage Salesforce business operations, including the product catalog, pricing rules, workflow automation, and field naming standards.

  • Provide reps with the training, tools, and visibility needed to ramp fast and sell consistently, including onboarding curricula, playbooks, territory frameworks, and compensation plan documentation. Own customer-facing content management and internal sales communications and build rep performance scorecards to track individual and team productivity against defined KPIs. Drive sales tool adoption planning, using root cause analysis to diagnose and eliminate adoption gaps
  • Map current-state workflows across Sales, Finance, Legal, and Operations to identify and resolve cross-functional friction points. Drive operational clarity and process automation through RACI definition, SOP documentation, and system-level updates. Serve as the primary commercial stakeholder to the Analytics team, translating business questions into clear reporting requirements, such as utilization, unit economics, and territory performance.
  • Define the core governance framework - commercial policy, rules of engagement, and territory/account assignment governance - that ensures organizational consistency, accountability, and clear escalation paths. Maintain commercial policy documentation, rules of engagement, and territory/account assignment governance. Monitor compliance and lead periodic audits, driving swift remediation through structured corrective actions.
