Manager, Global Pipeline Strategy & Sales Development Planning

What This Role Isn't

• Not a pure strategy role: If you want to think but not execute, this isn't the right role. The operational parts of the job aren't optional - strategy and execution are equally weighted, and you are expected to build and run what you design.
• Not an arm's-length role: This job rewards deep immersion in the business: the accounts, the team, the numbers. If you prefer to stay at the analytical surface or delegate execution from the sidelines, this isn't the right fit.
• Not a "maintain-the-status-quo" position: Designed to continually evaluate and evolve target-setting philosophy, coverage models, and executive alignment frameworks as the company scales.

What We Look For

• Radical ownership and speed: You own outcomes at pace, not just tasks. You are measured on the impact you deliver, not on effort.
• Run-the-business operator: You want to own a business end-to-end and operate on the leader's behalf, not support from the sidelines. You earn trust through immersion and reliability, you're a doer as much as a designer, and you bring structure to ambiguity.
• Technical and analytical horsepower: You want your hands in the data and to build, not just direct it - modern data & AI tools (advanced Excel, SQL, BI platforms, conversational analytics, custom agents), and you pick up new tools fast.
• AI-fluent, and on the frontier: AI is part of your daily workflow as a multiplier, and you proactively keep up with the latest tools and trends. You enjoy being an early adopter, learn new technology fast, and turn it into enterprise-quality work while offloading operational load to it.
• Proactive strategic instinct: You don't wait for the question; you spot the pattern, form a point of view, and bring the recommendation, framed around the leader's decisions.
• Zero-defect operational rigor: Accurate, on-time, exec-ready output. You trace discrepancies to the root cause and won't ship something you can't defend. Strategy and operations are equally weighted.
• Connective tissue, with sound judgment: You run toward cross-functional partnership, understand other teams' incentives, and make it easy to say yes. You see the org as a system rather than silos - with high honesty, integrity, and judgment. You document and teach what you build.
• Executive presence and excellent communication: Command in front of Senior Directors, VPs, and BU leadership; you synthesize complex data into leader-ready decks, exec summaries, and quantitative business cases.
• Relevant Experience & GTM Depth: Prior experience in GTM Strategy, Strategy & Operations, Sales Operations, or Management Consulting at a high-growth technology company, with deep understanding of capacity planning, coverage ratios, and top-of-funnel mechanics.
