- Partner cross-functionally with Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, and Finance to ensure alignment and execution against annual operating plans and long-range goals.
- Lead transformation of go-to-market operations by identifying and resolving process bottlenecks, communication gaps, and system inefficiencies.
- Build a foundation for data-driven decision-making through improved forecasting, pipeline management, and performance analytics.
- Foster operational rigor while creating flexible frameworks that adapt to evolving market and business needs.
- Serve as a trusted partner to go-to-market leaders (Sales, Marketing, Customer, and Growth), helping teams align around shared metrics, accountability, and outcomes.
- Ensure RevOps functions as a service-oriented organization—supporting GTM teams with the tools, insights, and processes they need to succeed.
- Drive consistency in customer engagement and revenue processes across regions and products.
- Operate effectively in a private equity-backed environment, balancing near-term performance with long-term scalability.
- Communicate transparently with the executive team, board members, and KKR partners regarding progress, priorities, and value creation.
