Job Overview

We are seeking a strategic, results-driven Director of Sales Operations to lead and scale our revenue operations function. This role drives disciplined, profitable growth across the full revenue lifecycle—new business, expansion, and renewals—through data-driven decision-making, rigorous performance management, and strong cross-functional execution.

Key Responsibilities

  • Own the end-to-end renewals operating model, including process design, timelines, ownership, escalation paths, and systems

  • Develop and operationalize retention strategies to improve Gross and Net Revenue Retention (GRR/NRR), reduce churn, and drive expansion

  • Implement account health scoring and early-warning indicators to proactively identify and mitigate renewal risk

  • Partner with Sales and Customer Success on renewal playbooks, segmentation, pricing/uplift strategies, and incentive alignment

  • Establish disciplined renewal forecasting with clear pipeline visibility by segment, cohort, and stage

  • Lead annual and quarterly sales planning, including headcount modeling, territory design, and quota setting

  • Drive alignment across Sales, Finance, and Executive Leadership on planning and forecasting assumptions

  • Design and oversee KPI frameworks across the full funnel and renewal lifecycle (pipeline, conversion, attainment, productivity, renewal rate, churn, GRR, NRR)

  • Monitor leading and lagging indicators; surface trends, risks, and opportunities to senior leadership

  • Translate complex data into actionable insights that drive performance improvement

  • Consolidate data and analyze trends to support accurate new-business and renewals forecasting

  • Partner with revenue leaders to diagnose performance drivers and develop data-backed action plans

  • Deliver recurring reporting for executive and board-level reviews

  • Identify and implement process improvements to reduce friction and increase sales efficiency

  • Standardize best practices in sales methodology, pipeline management, and performance tracking

  • Act as a strategic advisor to sales leadership on operational readiness, incentives, and scale

Qualifications

  • 10+ years of experience in Sales Operations, Revenue Operations, or Business Operations within a B2B environment

  • 3+ years of people leadership experience

  • Proven ownership of a renewals and retention motion with measurable impact on GRR/NRR

  • Strong background in territory and quota planning, forecasting, and performance management

  • Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and project management skills

  • Executive-level communication and stakeholder management capabilities

  • Bachelor’s degree in Business, Finance, Economics, or work experience

Preferred:

  • Deep understanding of B2B and FinTech sales models

  • Experience supporting both direct and indirect sales motions

  • Strong business acumen with a data-first mindset

  • Comfortable operating in a high-growth, fast-paced, and ambiguous environment
