  • Lead the annual budgeting process and maintain rolling forecasts that reflect the latest business assumptions

  • Build scenario models to help Sales leadership understand the cost and revenue trade-offs of key decisions

  • Conduct variance analysis on revenue and Sales OPEX versus budget and prior periods, clearly communicating findings to leadership

  • Analyze sales productivity and capacity to inform hiring plans and cost-per-head benchmarks

  • Drive improvements in expense forecasting accuracy, reporting cadence, and financial controls across the Sales organization

  • Partner with Sales Ops, RevOps, and Accounting to ensure clean data flows and consistent expense reporting

  • Support the implementation or optimization of financial planning and expense management tools
