  • Lead product launches and other cross-functional initiatives that span Sales, Marketing, Product Management and Client Success - ensuring alignment and accountability.
  • Build closed-loop measurement systems so every GTM investment can be tracked from spend to outcome.
  • Serve as an analytical thought partner to the CRO flagging risks, surfacing insights, and synthesizing data into decisions.

Revenue Operations
  • Design and own the commercial tech stack including CRM governance, data hygiene standards, and tooling strategy across the full GTM org.
  • Refine forecasting infrastructure that gives the CRO and CEO real-time visibility into pipeline health, coverage ratios, and revenue predictability.
  • Define and instrument leading and lagging KPIs across pipeline generation, conversion rates, deal velocity, and retention.
  • Drive territory design, quota setting, and capacity planning in partnership with Finance and Sales leadership.
  • Own the weekly operating cadence including pipeline reviews, forecast calls, and QBR infrastructure.

Sales Readiness
  • Refine and run a world-class onboarding program that gets new AEs to first deal in under 60 days.
  • Develop and maintain sales playbooks, talk tracks, competitive battle cards, and objection handling frameworks aligned to Canoe's value-based selling methodology.
  • Own the content and tools that support every stage of the deal cycle from outbound through negotiation and close.
  • Partner with Marketing to ensure sales has the right assets at the right time with clear feedback loops on what's working in market.

What We're Looking For:
  • 8+ years of progressive RevOps and Sales Readiness experience at a high-growth B2B SaaS or fintech company.
  • A track record of building, not just inheriting processes, programs, and systems that demonstrably improved commercial performance.
  • Deep Claude and CRM expertise including advanced reporting, pipeline architecture, and systems integration.
  • Strong analytical chops you can build a forecast model and a QBR deck, and you know which one to lead with.
  • Excellent cross-functional capabilities you know how to align Finance, Marketing, Product Management, Client Success and Sales around a single commercial plan.
  • Clear executive communication you can present to the board as comfortably as you coach a new SDR.
  • Experience in financial services, alternatives, or fintech a meaningful plus but not a dealbreaker for the right operator.

What You'll Get:

  • Medical, dental, vision benefits
  • Flexible PTO
  • 401(k)
  • Flexible work from home policy
  • Home office stipend
  • Employee Assistance Program
