What You Will Do

This role sits at the center of sales leadership, revenue strategy, and systems design. The Sales Strategy & Operations Analyst will act as a strategic extension of senior sales leadership, with real influence over how revenue decisions are made and executed.

Key responsibilities include:

• Partner directly with senior sales leaders to support annual and quarterly go-to-market planning, including territory design, quota setting, capacity planning, and forecasting

• Serve as a trusted thought partner to sales leadership by translating data into clear, actionable insights

• Design, build, and maintain Salesforce as the central operating system for the revenue organization (Flows, validation rules, custom objects, dashboards, reporting)

• Identify opportunities to deploy automation and AI-driven workflows that reduce manual work and increase sales efficiency

• Independently analyze data using SQL/SOQL and other tools to validate hypotheses and inform leadership decisions

• Present insights clearly to executives and provide informed recommendations, including pushing back when data suggests an alternative direction

This is not a traditional reporting role — it is a high-ownership, high-visibility position with exposure to real strategic decision-making.
