This person turns raw sales, pipeline, and revenue data into clear, trusted insight that leadership uses to make decisions. You’ll partner closely with the Business Systems team (who maintains our CRM, integrations, and data infrastructure) and focus your energy on analytics, reporting, and forecasting rather than system administration.

How This Role Works With Systems This role is paired with a dedicated Business Systems team which owns and maintains the CRM, data architecture, integrations, and tooling.
