Director, Revenue Operations
About the role
The Director of Revenue Operations is a foundational hire for the revenue organization. This role will own the operations backbone of the go-to-market engine — forecasting, analytics, planning, deal desk, customer success operations, and the systems that power them. This is a builder's role for a player-coach. The individual will assess what exists, design what should exist, and operate hands-on while building the function around them. The role is responsible for turning strategy into cadence, instinct into data, and ambition into a predictable, scalable revenue engine.
Responsibilities
- The quarterly operating cadence. Design, own, and execute a 13-week operational calendar — the drumbeat of the revenue organization. This includes weekly forecast reviews, recurring pipeline and top-of-funnel reviews, key deal and top deal reviews, renewal forecast reviews on a rolling outlook, product feedback loops with leadership, GTM leadership sessions, and an end-of-quarter deal war room ramping to daily in the final weeks. Prepare the content, run the operating rhythm, and hold the organization accountable to it.
- Forecasting and pipeline. Run the forecast across new business, expansion, and renewals within that cadence. Establish pipeline hygiene standards, coverage and conversion inspection, and a single source of truth for where the business stands — globally and by segment.
- End-to-end funnel ownership. Own, diagnose, and optimize the full revenue funnel — from lead generation and marketing through sales, close, onboarding, and expansion — as one connected system rather than a series of handoffs. Requires deep data fluency at every stage: where demand originates, where conversion breaks, where velocity stalls, and where expansion compounds. Recommend and drive the changes that improve it.
- Revenue analytics and what works. Own reporting on bookings, ARR, pipeline coverage, conversion, retention, and productivity — and go beyond the scoreboard to the answers: which sources, segments, plays, and motions actually produce revenue, and which don't. Provide the analytical foundation for executive and board-level decision-making.
- Enabling the outbound motion. Partner with the demand generation leader to enable a true end-to-end outbound and pipeline-build motion, AI-first throughout — AI agents for research, signal detection, and personalization; a modern SDR workflow; and automated outbound that scales pipeline generation without scaling headcount linearly. While not owning outbound directly, this role will deeply understand how it works: providing the systems, data, process, and measurement that let it run, and connecting its output cleanly into pipeline, forecast, and funnel analytics.
- GTM planning. Lead annual and quarterly planning: segmentation, territory design, capacity and coverage modeling, and quota setting — in close partnership with Finance.
- Incentive compensation. Partner with Finance and HR to design, model, and administer sales and customer success compensation plans that align the field with company strategy.
- Deal desk and pricing operations. Stand up deal desk discipline: pricing and approval workflows, non-standard deal governance, and clean quote-to-cash handoffs across Sales, Legal, and Finance.
- Customer success and renewals operations. Build the operating rhythm for the post-sale motion: renewals forecasting, customer health visibility, and expansion pipeline — supporting an end-to-end view of the customer.
- Enablement. Build the onboarding and enablement foundation for the field: ramp programs, playbooks, and the tooling that makes sellers and CS teams productive faster.
- GTM systems and data. Own the revenue technology stack (Salesforce/CRM, forecasting, and CS platforms). Rationalize the stack, ensure data integrity, and make the systems serve the field — not the other way around.
What success looks like in year one
- A full 13-week quarterly operating cadence installed and running — forecast, pipeline, deal reviews, renewals, and end-of-quarter execution — with the leadership team operating to it.
- A trusted, consistent forecast the CFO can stand behind, with documented methodology and demonstrated accuracy.
- A unified revenue data model and executive dashboard covering pipeline, bookings, ARR movement, and retention.
- The annual GTM plan — territories, capacity, quotas, and comp plans — delivered on time in partnership with Finance.
- An instrumented end-to-end funnel — lead through expansion — with conversion visibility at every stage and a running list of diagnosed, prioritized optimization opportunities.
- The outbound motion fully instrumented and enabled in partnership with demand generation — systems, data, and measurement in place, with outbound-sourced pipeline visible in the funnel and forecast.
- Deal desk and approval workflows in place, with measurable improvement in cycle time and pricing discipline.
- A rationalized, well-governed systems stack with clean data and clear ownership.
Requirements
- 8+ years in revenue operations, sales operations, or GTM strategy in enterprise B2B software, including direct support of senior sales leadership.
- Experience building or substantially rebuilding a revenue operations function — the individual has been the first or most senior ops hire, or rebuilt from a low baseline.
- Experience running a structured quarterly operating cadence before — weekly forecast calls, pipeline councils, deal reviews, and quarter-end close management — and knows how to make it a discipline rather than a meeting series.
- Deep fluency in ARR-based business models: pipeline math, retention and expansion dynamics, and SaaS unit economics.
- Genuine data fluency — ability to pull, model, and interrogate funnel data, diagnose conversion problems across marketing, sales, and post-sale stages, and turn analysis into specific recommendations.
- Working fluency in how modern outbound operates — AI SDR agents, signal-based prospecting, sequencing, and workflow automation — sufficient to be a real partner to demand generation and to instrument the motion end to end.
- Hands-on command of Salesforce and the modern GTM stack — ability to configure, administer, and evaluate tools when needed.
- Strong financial modeling and analytics skills, and comfort partnering with Finance on planning and reporting rhythms.
- A player-coach temperament: strategic enough for executive planning discussions, hands-on enough to fix a broken report the same afternoon.
- Low ego, high ownership. Ability to bring order without bureaucracy and treat the field as the customer.
