Job Description

This role is responsible for ensuring that territory design, quota allocation, compensation mechanics, headcount planning, and productivity assumptions translate into predictable revenue performance across Direct, Channel, Solution Engineering, and Customer Experience teams.

This is not a systems administration role.

This is a revenue architecture and performance governance role.

You will operate at the center of planning, compensation alignment, and cross-functional connected planning.

5. Productivity Benchmarking

Establish and maintain productivity benchmarks by role:

·         ARR per rep

·         ARR per SE

·         Revenue per CX head

·         Track ramp performance

·         Identify structural underperformance vs model assumptions

Deliverable:

Clear visibility into productivity, health and leverage points.

6. Connected Planning Leadership

Lead connected planning sessions with:

·         Ensure alignment between revenue targets, capacity, and compensation
