Director of Commercial Excellence and Productivity
As the Director of Sales Operations & Enablement, you will be the architect and guardian of our European sales engine. You will bridge the gap between high-level strategy and daily execution, ensuring our sales managers operate with discipline, our data remains pristine, and our teams are equipped to over-perform. You are a "partner-coach" who isn't afraid to push back on leadership or hold Account Executives (AEs) accountable to rigorous standards.
Operational Oversight: Own the health of the European sales pipeline, including stage definitions, conversion metrics, and data hygiene.
Pipeline Control: Manage and audit opportunities by client, technology, and service line to ensure a balanced and strategic portfolio.
Quota & Coverage: Lead quota setting and monitor pipeline velocity/coverage to ensure revenue targets are realistic and supported.
Commercial Management: Oversee account planning, segmentation models, and the commercial frameworks used by the sales team.
Process Rigor: Ensure all sales managers adhere to established structures; proactively "chase" updates and flag performance gaps to leadership.
Performance Analytics: Track team performance, advise on reward structures, and identify top/bottom performers.
Stakeholder Coaching: Act as a trusted advisor to Sales and People leaders, coaching managers on performance management best practices.
Program Ownership: Partner with Revenue leaders to operationalize enablement programs that directly impact productivity.
Tool & Playbook Adoption: Track the effectiveness of sales tools and playbooks, ensuring they are utilized to their full potential.
Training Impact: Ensure all training efforts translate into measurable revenue growth and increased AE productivity.
Enterprise Sales Background: Proven experience within a Vendor environment, specifically managing teams of Account Executives or large client portfolios.
Strategic Operations: Deep expertise in Segmentation Models, quota setting, and pipeline management.
Leadership & Influence: Exceptional people management skills with a focus on coaching and development.
The "Enforcer" Mindset: A proven ability to push back when standards are diluted and to drive process adoption in a fast-paced environment.
Regional Expertise: Experience navigating the complexities of the European market.
