Our team of over 200 employees thinks big and moves fast, and we’re looking for smart, hardworking builders and scalers to join us on our journey to create a better future of work.

📐 About this role

We are looking for an execution-oriented leader to help us own and scale our revenue operations as we look to rapidly build our sales and CS departments. You’ll operate as the primary strategic and operational partner to our sales and CS leaders, helping them build a repeatable GTM motion that helps accelerate revenue growth. 

You’ll be managing a team of full-time employees and contractors that’ll help you execute the day-to-day activities. However, you’ll still need to roll up your sleeves and do the work. You’ll work alongside a manager who's built all of the initial infrastructure, who can help you onboard, and provide context on current state, and can work alongside you in the trenches.

Lastly, our ideal candidate is comfortable relying on unconventional ways to scale out an ops team, right-sized for 2024 SaaS operating efficiency expectations. You’ll rely on automation, AI, systems, documentation, contractors, and high-performance teams to do 3x more than other comparable revenue ops orgs. It’ll be challenging, but you’ll be pioneering the future state of revenue operations in SaaS.

What’s in it for you

It’s an incredibly dynamic role — you’ll jump from highly stimulating topics that span high-level GTM strategy, roadmaps, and execution plans. You’ll lead key projects that are directly tied to impact. 

You’ll work on a team that gives you a high degree of autonomy, trusts your intuition, and invests in your growth. We're action and impact oriented. We value high-quality execution and strive to create a working environment that allows you to move fast and learn. 

You’ll work with a manager who also “shovels dirt” and rolls up their sleeves to get work done; they’ll have “done it before” and so will have a deeper empathy for your day-to-day. Your manager will also provide context and visibility, allowing you to build deeper relationships and intuition that’ll help you scale out your impact. 

For someone self-motivated and with a problem-solving mindset, you’ll find a greenfield opportunity. You’ll own and scale out a revenue operations function that's one of the best in SaaS. There'll be opportunities to build horizontally through cross-functional initiatives as well as vertically as you become a trusted advisor across revenue leadership.
