As a Senior Sales Strategy & Operations Manager for North America Enterprise you’ll partner closely with our North America Enterprise SS&O team and sales leaders to develop and bring to life data-driven strategies to accelerate growth in the business.
What you’ll do:
- Work directly with key sales leaders on critical strategic, organizational and operational projects designed to increase revenue, sales productivity and operational efficiency.

- Apply AI for data analysis and insight generation: leverage AI tooling to simplify and speed up data analysis and insight generation. Ensure strong understanding of AI outputs and connection back to data sources of truth and validating AI outputs.
- Standardize and automate workflows using AI tooling: documenting and improving recurring sales processes, building templates, checklists, and lightweight “mini‑agents” or scripts that remove manual work from planning, reporting, and sales operations.
What we’re looking for:
- 6+ years of professional experience in strategy & operations in a fast-paced, highly analytical environment, for instance: management consulting, investment banking, tech/media or or revenue/sales strategy & operations).

- High data fluency and tool comfort — advanced proficiency in Excel/Sheets and data visualization tools (e.g., Tableau, Looker) is expected; familiarity with SQL and querying large datasets is a strong plus.
- Proven experience building metrics frameworks, dashboards, and reporting that help senior leaders quickly understand business performance and make decisions, including owning definitions, documentation, and change management.
- Demonstrated ability to partner closely with senior sales leaders (Director/VP+) to define strategy, build annual and quarterly plans, forecast revenue, and drive accountability against goals.
- Strong structured problem‑solving skills and comfort driving decisions in ambiguous, evolving situations where goals, data, or processes are not yet fully defined.
- Excellent communication and storytelling skills — able to synthesize complex analyses into clear narratives, build compelling materials, and influence cross‑functional partners and senior stakeholders who may not be in your direct line of control.
- Organized, detail‑oriented and strategically focused, with a track record of driving measurable impact in complex, matrixed, and fast‑moving environments.
- AI native / AI first instincts – candidates are expected to use internal AI, agentic tooling as a default first step for problem-solving, research, and answering sales/operational questions before escalating to humans
- Can explain examples of using AI to structure ambiguous problems, generate hypotheses, or explore “what‑if” scenarios (e.g., coverage models, segmentation, capacity planning).
- Has used AI tools (Claude/Gemini/Codex, SQL or analytics copilots) to query data, build models, or QA numbers in an SSO environment (revenue forecasts, CRM activity logs, sales pipelines)
- Has built agentic or automated workflows using AI tooling or low/no-code workflow automation tools (Zapier, Move, Airtable). Can explain what good looks like for AI prompting and Agentic Workflow setups
- Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field such as business, economics, statistics, engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
