What you'll do

Reporting to the Head of ANZ, you will define and deliver our go-to-market strategy for the region. You will be responsible for aligning all our revenue-generating teams, defining their targets and quotas, reporting on achievement, and identifying levers to improve performance. You will work closely with teams across ANZ to support execution and with our Global Revenue Operations and Revenue Strategy teams on broader strategic initiatives and tooling.

This role is based in Sydney.

Responsibilities:

• Lead a team of Revenue Strategy & Operations professionals, setting a high bar for analytical rigor, commercial impact, and cross-functional collaboration.

• Own end-to-end planning cycles for the region, including target setting, development of incentive plans, and territory management across SME & Growth and Enterprise, from initial design through communication and day-to-day operation.

• Drive analysis of go-to-market performance, including regular forums such as QBRs and weekly revenue calls, as well as ad hoc deep dives, to surface insights on pipeline, productivity, pricing, and product mix and identify clear actions to improve performance.

• Own the regional revenue forecasting model and methodology, partnering with Sales, Finance, and Global Revenue Operations to strengthen forecast accuracy, pipeline hygiene, and alignment between forecast and actuals.

• Lead cross-functional initiatives that improve productivity and commercial performance, including pricing and packaging, new product and vertical launches, and back-book growth programs across the existing customer base.

• Act as regional owner of our GTM tooling, including Salesforce and associated territory, account, and lead management for customer-facing teams, and partner with Global Revenue Operations and Growth & Revenue Systems on roadmap, data quality, and user adoption.
