• Build and maintain standardized reports and support ad hoc analysis with a strong focus on data credibility and consistency

Sales Operations Execution

• Execute core sales operations processes including quota tracking, territory alignment support, and operational cadence management
• Support account and opportunity reviews with data-driven insights and clear reporting

Process Discipline & Continuous Improvement

• Deep understanding of CRM systems and sales processes (Clari, and Quip) to enable and scale new and existing workflows.
• Proven track record of delivering highly accurate forecasting, reporting, and sales metrics
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to translate data into clear, actionable insights
• Advanced proficiency with Microsoft Office; expert-level Excel skills required, with the ability to build executive-level presentations.
• Detail-oriented with a strong focus on data accuracy, consistency, and operational execution
• Experience supporting field sales teams in a fast-paced, execution-driven environment
