For more information, visit

At Gong, you will join a company built on innovative products, ambitious goals, and passionate people. We are shaping the future of revenue intelligence and we want people who are excited to build what comes next. You will work with a team that dreams big, moves fast, and cares deeply about the craft and about each other. Here, transparency and trust are core to how we operate, and every person has the opportunity to make a visible impact. If you want to grow, stretch, and do work that truly matters, Gong is the place to do the best work of your career.

The Gong Center of Excellence (CoE), also known as Gong on Gong and Customer Zero, is Gong's internal proof point that our own product runs our revenue engine. The CoE sits within GTM Ops and the AI Acceleration team and owns instance governance, workflow design, product feedback, and first adoption of every new Gong capability. This role reports to the CoE Lead and takes ownership of specific workstreams across the team's full scope, from cleaning up and governing our instance to building the agents and processes that become referenceable stories for prospects and customers. This is a builder and operator role. You will run point on projects end to end: scoping, building, testing, documenting, and handing off. You will work directly with Sales, Post-Sales, Marketing, Field Operations, Product, and Engineering to turn one-off requests into scalable, governed solutions.

RESPONSIBILITIES
  • Own and execute CoE projects across five buckets of work: instance governance, GTM process design and optimization, product feedback and roadmap influence, customer zero and revenue enablement, AI acceleration for the GTM function.
  • Build and maintain governed workflows in Gong: deal boards, smart trackers, engage flows, and automated plays (custom agents), with clear ownership and documentation for each.
  • Manage projects and conversations with product, cross functional partners, and customer zero test groups. Serve as an early adopter and tester for new Gong products and capabilities, including MCP integrations and AI agents, documenting what works, what breaks, and what needs to be fixed.
  • Develop referenceable assets, including Gong on Gong case studies, process documentation, and workflow snapshots, that GTM and Sales can use with prospects and customers.
  • Contribute to the CoE's quarterly point of view on product direction, competitive landscape, and instance health, and present findings to RevOps leadership.
  • Drive instance governance standards today and in the future: naming conventions, access control, and periodic audits of trackers, dashboards, and boards.
  • Own various GTM persona workflow mapping. Interviewing reps in various roles to understand their day to day workflows and mapping that to AI maturity to help decide sprint priorities for the AI Acceleration team and then mapping outputs back to the workflows and MOR.
QUALIFICATIONS
  • Prior experience using Gong as an end user or administrator strongly preferred.
  • 3-5+ years in revenue operations, sales operations, or a related GTM function, with direct experience in SaaS.
  • Track record of owning a project from scoping through execution without heavy oversight.
  • Strong technical aptitude: comfortable working across Salesforce, Gong, various LLMs, and workflow or automation tools; experience with tools like Retool, Snowflake, or agent-building platforms is a plus.
  • Data-driven mindset with the judgment to know when a process is worth scaling and when it isn't.
  • Strong written communication skills, with the ability to turn technical work into a clear, business-facing story for prospects, customers, and executives.
  • Comfortable operating with ambiguity in a small team with a large mandate; able to say no to work that doesn't meet the bar.
  • Experience partnering cross-functionally with Sales, Marketing, Product, and Engineering teams.
PERKS & BENEFITS
  • We offer Gongsters a variety of medical, dental, and vision plans, designed to fit you and your family's needs.
  • Wellbeing Fund - flexible wellness stipend to support a healthy lifestyle.
  • Mental Health benefits with covered therapy and coaching.
  • 401(k) program to help you invest in your future.
  • Education & learning stipend for personal growth and development.
  • Flexible vacation time to promote a healthy work-life blend.
  • Paid parental leave to support you and your family.
  • Company-wide recharge days each quarter.
  • Work from home stipend to help you succeed in a remote environment.

The annual salary hiring range for this position is $115,000 - $175,000 USD.

Compensation is based on factors unique to each candidate, including, but not limited to, job-related skills, qualification, education, experience, and location. At Gong, we have a location-based compensation structure, which means there may be a different range for candidates in other locations. The total compensation package for this position, in addition to base compensation, may include incentive compensation, bonus, equity, and benefits. Some of our sales compensation programs also offer the potential to achieve above targeted earnings for those who exceed their sales targets.


We are always looking for outstanding Gongsters! So if this sounds like something that interests you regardless of compensation, please reach out. We may have more roles for you to consider and would love to connect.

We have noticed a rise in recruiting impersonations across the industry, where scammers attempt to access candidates' personal and financial information through fake interviews and offers. All Gong recruiting email communications will always come from the @gong.io domain. Any outreach claiming to be from Gong via other sources should be ignored.

Gong is an equal-opportunity employer. We believe that diversity is integral to our success, and do not discriminate based on race, color, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, military status, genetic information, or any other basis protected by applicable law.
