• Lead annual and in‑year planning cycles, including AOP development, re‑planning support, and scenario analysis tied to market shifts or performance gaps.
• Develop long‑range productivity and growth models that connect headcount, ramp, coverage, and efficiency assumptions to revenue outcomes.
• Frame and quantify strategic tradeoffs (e.g., capacity allocation, investment shifts, coverage changes) to support executive decision‑making.

Capacity, Quota & Territory Design

• Design and maintain capacity and headcount models across segments, regions, and roles, incorporating ramp, attrition, and productivity assumptions.
• Lead quota‑setting frameworks, partnering with Finance and Sales leadership to ensure fair, achievable, and strategically aligned targets.
• Own territory design and book‑of‑business models, balancing market opportunity, rep capacity, and continuity considerations.
• Support smooth planning transitions between fiscal years and quarters, ensuring clarity and execution readiness.

Scenario Modeling & Insights

• Build and maintain scenario models to assess upside/downside risk, investment options, and alternative GTM strategies.
• Translate complex analyses into clear insights, recommendations, and narratives for senior GTM and executive audiences.
• Partner with Analytics and Systems teams to improve automation, data quality, and scalability of planning inputs.

Cross‑Functional Leadership

• Act as a strategic thought partner to leaders across Sales, Revenue Operations, Finance, and Marketing.
• Drive alignment between GTM strategy and operational execution through structured planning rhythms and clear decision frameworks.
• Lead or influence cross‑functional initiatives that improve planning discipline, predictability, and transparency.

You’ve Got What It Takes If You Have…

• 7+ years of experience in GTM planning, sales operations, revenue operations, strategy, or related roles in a SaaS or subscription business.
• Deep experience with capacity modeling, quota setting, territory design, and scenario planning in a complex sales organization.
• Strong analytical and modeling skills, with the ability to translate ambiguity into structured, decision‑ready insights.
• Demonstrated ability to influence senior stakeholders without direct authority.
• Experience partnering closely with Finance on planning assumptions, targets, and tradeoff analysis.
• Advanced proficiency in Excel, Anaplan, and SFDC and comfort working with BI tools (e.g. Tableau, Snowflake‑based analytics).

An extra dose of awesome if…

• Experience supporting AOP or multi‑year planning in a global GTM organization.
• Familiarity with productivity modeling, ramp curves, and sales efficiency metrics.
• Prior experience in Revenue Operations or GTM Strategy & Planning teams.
