Director of Revenue Operations

Overview

The Director, Revenue Operations is a senior player/coach leader responsible for Sales Operations, the lead-to-opportunity motion, and the RFx function at Origami Risk. Reporting to the VP of Revenue Operations, this role serves as one of the VP's primary operational deputies and is accountable for execution consistency across the revenue organization.

Core responsibilities include owning forecasting cadences, pipeline health, and inspection rigor, as well as driving alignment across Finance, Marketing Ops, Business Development, Sales, and Account Management leadership. The Director leads a team of managers and individual contributors (ICs), spanning Sales Ops and RFx, and is directly responsible for advancing the early-funnel transformation initiative.

This role is intentionally hands-on. The Director is expected to contribute directly to lead-to-opportunity process design, RFx optimization, and tooling evolution (including AI-assisted capabilities) while simultaneously building team capability and accountability. Success requires sound judgment on where to engage directly versus delegate, strong prioritization in a lean environment, and the ability to shape the function as the business evolves.

Starting base pay for this role is between $160,000 and $185,000. The actual base pay is dependent upon many factors, such as transferable skills, work experience, business needs, training, location, and market demands. The base pay range is subject to change and may be modified in the future. This role will be eligible for a bonus as well as competitive medical, dental, and vision benefits, wellness reimbursement, life insurance, and a 401(k) with company match. We offer vacation and sick leave benefits (under a flexible time off policy in most states).
