About the role
You will build and lead a high-performing team, owning the end-to-end delivery lifecycle for Sales tech stack improvements, from intake and scoping to UAT, enablement, and change management. You will translate strategy into programs, run complex, cross-functional initiatives, manage risk, and deliver impactful reporting and results.
Responsibilities
- Build and lead a high-performing team: Hire, coach, and develop a team of program and technical program managers across the technical-delivery, process-design, and strategy spectrum.
- Own the integrated Revenue Operations roadmap: Intake, prioritize, and sequence work across systems delivery – Salesforce, CPQ, CLM, Billing, Forecasting, and Renewals.
- Translate strategy into programs: Partner with Sales and cross-functional leaders to scope problems, build the business case, define success metrics, and lead delivery from kickoff through adoption.
- Raise the bar on craft: Coach a team, ensure rigorous change management, and personally run the most complex, cross-functional initiatives.
- Run the end-to-end delivery lifecycle: Lead complex system enhancements through requirements gathering, solution design with the Salesforce Systems team, UAT, enablement, and post-launch measurement.
- Drive change management: Own change management for process and system improvements within the Sales organization – ensuring teams are prepared, supported, and equipped with the resources and enablement they need to adopt new ways of working.
- Develop the operating model: Define how Revenue Operations sees itself – instrument program health (first-pass yield, approval SLAs, quoting success rates, automation coverage, on-time delivery), publish it, and use it to drive decisions.
- Lead complex, ambiguous initiatives: Structure problems tied to corporate strategy and long-term goals, mobilize the right cross-functional team, and bring each initiative to a clear decision.
- Manage risk and communicate crisply: Identify dependencies, risks, and blockers early; develop mitigation strategies; and communicate program status to leadership through AVP+.
- Deliver impactful reporting and results: Measure project outcomes, report out on the impact delivered, and drive continuous-improvement processes to achieve and maintain operational excellence.
- Champion AI-forward ways of working: Apply AI tooling to accelerate intake, requirements, documentation, and analysis, and embed responsible-AI practices in how the team ships.
- Champion, role model, and embed Samsara’s cultural principles: Focus on Customer Success, Build for the Long Term, Adopt a Growth Mindset, Be Inclusive, and Win as a Team – as we scale globally and across new offices.
