  • Analytics & Insights : Oversee analysis of performance data, maintaining dashboards and reporting frameworks that provide actionable insights on pipeline health, conversion, and business performance.
  • Operational Excellence : Build and optimize the sales tech stack, and ensure high standards across forecasting, deal execution, QBRs, reporting, and enablement processes.
  • Cross-Functional Leadership : Partner with Marketing, GTM Analytics, Business Systems, Data Engineering, and Finance to design and deliver end-to-end GTM processes.
  • Embrace AI : Leverage AI to build a scalable, next-gen RevOps function and contribute to Intercom’s overall vision of an AI-first customer engagement model.

What skills do I need?

  • Bachelor’s degree required; MBA or equivalent certifications a plus.
