• Coordinate cross-functional stakeholder alignment on the plan; facilitate discussions with Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, and Finance to build buy-in and ensure feasibility
• Communicate the plan cascading priorities, resource allocation, and expected outcomes to the broader organization
• Lead GTM strategy initiatives and programs throughout the year, such as: Global Accounts strategy and operations, New Logo go-to-market approach, market expansion planning, channel and partner strategy
• Develop and maintain critical business reporting and dashboards; track plan versus actual, highlight variances, and provide insights to guide course corrections
• Conduct periodic reviews of plan performance; identify what's working, what isn't, and inform next iteration of planning
• Serve as a strategic advisor to Revenue Operations and business leadership on GTM strategy, resource allocation, and organizational design decisions
• Drive process improvements and modernization in how we approach planning, using data, technology, and best practices to increase effectiveness
