The Senior Manager of Revenue Strategy & Operations will partner closely with the VP of Revenue Operations, Global Commercial leadership, and our Business Intelligence (BI) team to shape how Ellucian measures, forecasts, and grows revenue in our international regions. This is a high impact, mission critical role that sits at the intersection of strategy and execution: you will own the analytics and insight that inform where we place our bets, and the process and systems discipline that ensures we execute against them. 

You will bring Revenue Operations subject matter expertise and direction to complex projects and initiatives, designing the actionable metrics, forecasting models, and dashboards that enable the business to make data-based decisions, while leading the strategic analysis that helps commercial leadership evaluate growth opportunities. This role begins as an individual contributor with the opportunity to build and lead a team as the function scales. 

If you are energized by ambiguous problems, enjoy translating messy data into a clear point of view, and want a seat at the table where revenue strategy gets set, this could be a great fit for you. 

Where you will make an impact 

• Forecasting & Pipeline: Own the design, cadence, and continuous improvement of the global revenue forecast process, partnering with Sales, Marketing, and Finance leadership to drive forecast accuracy, pipeline health, and predictability. 
• Performance Analytics: Develop, track, and manage the KPIs that define revenue team effectiveness; conduct performance analysis that identifies where the business is winning, where it is leaking, and what to do about it. 
• Revenue Strategy: Lead analysis on market segments, product lines, and growth initiatives; build the business cases and models that inform go-to-market investment decisions and long-range planning. 
• Executive Storytelling: Prepare and present findings, recommendations, and executive-level materials for commercial leadership and board-level audiences, translating complex data into a clear and actionable narrative. 
• Insight Delivery: Partner closely with the Business Intelligence team to build dynamic dashboards and self-service reporting that deliver the insights needed to drive business results and influence revenue strategy. 
• Systems & Process: Own the effectiveness of the revenue tech stack, driving process design, adoption, and optimization across Salesforce, Tableau, and adjacent tools to improve seller productivity and data quality. 
• Data Integrity: Establish and enforce the data standards, definitions, and governance that make revenue reporting trusted across the organization; serve as a point of contact for the revenue organization on data questions. 
• Problem Solving: Analyze and solve complex business problems by breaking work into actionable tasks and partnering with stakeholders to plan and communicate delivery commitments. 
• Special Projects: Own cross-functional initiatives that improve revenue processes or advance go-to-market strategy, from framing the problem through implementation and measurement. 
• Team Building: Mentor analysts across the Revenue Operations organization and help define the roadmap, standards, and structure for a growing Revenue Strategy & Operations team.
