Job description

Bad software is everywhere, and we’re tired of it. Sentry is on a mission to help developers write better software faster so we can get back to enjoying technology.

With more than $217 million in funding and 100,000+ organizations that believe we’re on to something, we're building performance and error monitoring tools that help companies like Disney, Microsoft, and Atlassian spend less time fixing bugs and more time building products.

Sentry embraces a hybrid work model, with Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays set as in-office anchor days to encourage meaningful collaboration. If you like to selfishly build things that make your digital life better, come help us build the next generation of software monitoring tools.

About the role

The Head of Sales Strategy & Operations will be the CRO’s right hand person and helps drive revenue growth for Sentry through a combination of analytical rigor and execution discipline.

You’ll love this job if you

Owner mentality - from opportunity identification to sales execution. You feel accountable for delivering the number and connect the dots between analysis and execution across teams

Unquestionable ethics, integrity and business judgment -

  • you share our values, and work in accordance with those values. You are the final decider for the many situations that require judgement in the role

Familiarity with Product-Led Growth - you recognize the benefits of PLG from a go-to-market productivity perspective and incorporate that into your decision-making for sales / cs- programs and processes

Fast mover / iterator - You prioritize progress over perfection

Highly analytical - you are known for incisive questions and are the first one to spot anomalies in analyses. You keep analytics as simple as possible and as sophisticated as necessary

Strong understanding of sales methodologies and processes - An ability to pick the appropriate level of implementation marrying simplicity with the needs of the business

Systems thinker - ability to take a complex problem and reduce it to its essential components

High level of empathy for the front-line sales and customer success people - playbooks and processes are designed to minimize overhead on users. Emphasis on simplicity

Excellent communicator - you understand the needs of audiences, from execs to ICs and tailors messaging accordingly

Familiarity with software development - dev tools and / or observability a huge plus

Qualifications
