- Own sales reporting and analytics, delivering clear insights that inform decision-making and drive performance
- Collaborate with product marketing managers to build sales collateral and enablement materials (playbooks, frameworks, client-facing content) to support institutional sellers
- Help define how success is measured, including pipeline health, conversion, and performance metrics
- Identify opportunities to automate workflows and simplify processes to reduce friction for sellers
- Ensure tools and systems are structured in a way that sales teams actually want to use, focusing on usability and adoption
- Partner closely with Sales, Marketing, BizOps, Finance, and Product to align on priorities and execution

- Proven ability to analyze data, build reporting, and translate insights into action
- Experience building scalable processes and frameworks that improve sales performance
- Ability to create collateral and reporting that supports sellers and drives outcomes
- Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to think on your feet and operate in fast-moving environments
- Clear understanding of how to measure success and scale initiatives effectively
- Experience identifying and implementing automation opportunities to improve efficiency
- Strong communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally across teams and stakeholders
