Role Overview

The Vice President of Enterprise Revenue Operations is an executive leader accountable for the systems, insights, people, and processes that fuel every stage of the revenue engine. Sitting at the intersection of Sales, Marketing, and Customer Success, this role unites our go-to-market ecosystem and turns collaboration into consistent, predictable growth.

Reporting directly to the Chief Revenue Officer, the VP is a highly visible, enterprise-level leader who shapes how the company executes its growth strategy. You will own forecasting, pricing and deal desk, data governance, and go-to-market technology, and provide strategic direction to sales training and enablement. Your recommendations will guide executive-level decisions.

•     Reinforce coaching: Partner with sales leaders to embed coaching frameworks and use Gong insights to reinforce winning behaviors.

•     Measure impact: Tie enablement outcomes to ramp time, win rate, deal size, and retention, and retire what does not move results.

Pricing & Deal Desk

•     Own pricing strategy: Set pricing, packaging, and discounting strategy across brands, segments, and sales motions in partnership with Product and Finance.

•     Build the deal desk: Design and stand up a scalable deal desk, with clear intake, approval matrices, SLAs, and escalation paths for non-standard pricing, terms, and contracts.

•     Protect margin and velocity: Balance deal speed against margin, discount discipline, and risk, and monitor discount levels, price realization, and win rates.

•     Streamline quote-to-cash: Partner with Finance, Legal, and Sales to simplify quoting, approvals, and booking, supported by CPQ and CRM workflows.

•     Guide decisions: Deliver pricing analytics and competitive pricing insights that inform list pricing, renewal uplifts, and promotions.

Process Optimization

•     Streamline the system: Remove friction across all revenue workflows, from lead generation through renewal and expansion.

•     Standardize and scale: Build consistent, repeatable processes that drive efficiency, predictability, and customer satisfaction.

•     Control the levers: Own renewal strategy, churn analysis, and at-risk account workflows to maximize retention and lifetime value.

•     Drive utilization: Increase event fill rates, reduce cancellations, and optimize revenue per scheduled day.

Analytics, Reporting & Data Governance

Technology Leadership

•     Scale through automation: Lead AI and automation initiatives that improve forecasting precision and efficiency.

•     Document the foundation: Maintain clear documentation of system configurations, workflows, and data architecture decisions.

Team Leadership & Development

•     Lead through leaders: Build, mentor, and inspire a multi-disciplinary organization spanning Sales Operations, Sales Training & Enablement, and Pricing & Deal Desk, including directors and managers.

•     Set the bar: Establish clear goals, KPIs, and growth paths that drive performance and development.
