Full Job Description
About the Role

As Sales Operations Senior Director, you'll ensure leadership can make sound, fact-based decisions as a strategic business adviser to the global sales organisation. You'll develop reporting and analysis packages, lead the quota-setting and compensation components of annual planning, and support the sales department's day-to-day needs and broader revenue initiatives.

This is a strategic role that demands excellent interpersonal skills, comfort navigating complicated, open-ended situations, and the ability to multi-task in a fast-paced environment. You'll act as a trusted adviser, data manager, and owner of the back-end processes that make our go-to-market seamless.

A typical day will include...

  • Architecting and driving business transformation initiatives to optimise the global sales engine and maximise revenue growth as we scale
  • Shaping and refining the global go-to-market strategy in partnership with executive leadership
  • Owning our go-to-market tech stack (e.g. Salesforce, CPQ, sales engagement and enablement tools) and shaping how the team uses AI to work more efficiently
  • Influencing executive stakeholders through data storytelling and evidence-based recommendations to guide corporate investment and strategy
  • Evaluating and evolving how the Sales Operations team itself is structured and resourced to best serve the business
  • Spearheading global annual planning, including complex quota-setting, territory design and compensation philosophies that drive high performance
  • Directing cross-functional alignment between Sales, Marketing, Finance and IT to create a frictionless lead-to-cash lifecycle
  • Leading, inspiring and developing a high-performing, geographically dispersed global team


This role is a fit for you if...

  • You have 10+ years of leadership experience within Sales Operations, ideally within a fast-growing High-Tech or SaaS business (staffing sector experience also considered)
  • You have strong executive presence and can confidently present to and influence C-suite stakeholders
  • You're not afraid to challenge senior stakeholders and hold your own - you bring a point of view rather than just executing what you're asked
  • You're happy to get hands-on and lead by example, not just operate at a strategic distance
  • You have extensive experience leading complex organisational change and large-scale business transformations
  • You are a seasoned cross-functional leader, able to drive alignment and results across global, matrixed organisations
  • You have a demonstrated ability to build, scale and mentor high-performing teams
  • You hold a bachelor's degree in business or a related field (MBA or advanced degree preferred)


The annual base salary range for this position is $210,000 - $230,000. In addition, this role is eligible for an annual target bonus & a comprehensive benefits package.
