Responsibilities:

• Own and evolve the operating model and cadence for all New Business motions, including standards, agendas, decision rights, and priorities.
• Lead forecast readiness and opportunity inspection, giving leaders an accurate, timely view of performance, risk, upside, stage progression, qualification, next steps, close dates, and opportunity health.
• Improve pipeline hygiene, opportunity completeness, and Salesforce data quality; combine Account Executive, Sales Engineer, and system signals to surface deal risk, blockers, and forecast changes early.
• Build and curate reporting that drives decisions, consolidating redundant dashboards into clear, useful views for New Business leaders and the field.
• Lead cross-functional initiatives involving CRM, CPQ, RFPs, pricing, and other GTM systems and processes from problem definition through delivery and adoption.
• Translate field needs into clear requirements, acceptance criteria, and success measures; coordinate owners, make tradeoffs visible, remove blockers, and escalate decisions with context.
• Partner with Marketing, Enablement, and Channels & Alliances to align handoffs and shared workflows, and convert field feedback into a prioritized improvement backlog.
• Create durable playbooks and inspection mechanisms; measure adoption, data quality, forecast accuracy, and process performance, and use the evidence to improve the operating model.

• Salesforce experience and familiarity with GTM systems such as CPQ and RFP tools, are highly desired.
• A proven ability to lead complex, cross-functional initiatives from requirements through delivery, adoption, and measurable outcomes.
• Strong analytical and data-storytelling skills, with the judgment to distinguish useful decision support from reporting noise.
• Exceptional stakeholder-management, written, and verbal communication skills, with the ability to create alignment and accountability without direct authority.
