Develop and administer sales compensation plans aligned with company growth goals as the GTM team adds 40+ hires.
Regularly present performance insights, capacity planning, and strategic recommendations to senior leadership in partnership with RevOps.
4+ years in sales strategy, GTM operations, or similar roles in B2B software, with hands‑on experience building forecasting, territory, or compensation processes from the ground up.

Advanced spreadsheet and BI/analytics skills (e.g., Excel/Sheets, SQL, or modern BI tools) and fluency with CRM data such as Salesforce or similar.
Comfortable operating as a highly independent individual contributor in a fast‑paced setting, without direct reports initially.
