• Refine forecasting infrastructure that gives the CRO and CEO real-time visibility into pipeline health, coverage ratios, and revenue predictability.

• Drive territory design, quota setting, and capacity planning in partnership with Finance and Sales leadership.

• Own the weekly operating cadence including pipeline reviews, forecast calls, and QBR infrastructure.

Sales Readiness

• Refine and run a world-class onboarding program that gets new AEs to first deal in under 60 days.

• Develop and maintain sales playbooks, talk tracks, competitive battle cards, and objection handling frameworks aligned to Canoe’s value-based selling methodology.

• Own the content and tools that support every stage of the deal cycle from outbound through negotiation and close.

• Partner with Marketing to ensure sales has the right assets at the right time with clear feedback loops on what’s working in market.

• Measure the ROI of every readiness program and iterate ruthlessly based on what moves rep performance.

What We’re Looking For:

• 8+ years of progressive RevOps and Sales Readiness experience at a high-growth B2B SaaS or fintech company.

• A track record of building, not just inheriting processes, programs, and systems that demonstrably improved commercial performance.

• Deep Claude and CRM expertise including advanced reporting, pipeline architecture, and systems integration.

• Strong analytical chops you can build a forecast model and a QBR deck, and you know which one to lead with.

• Excellent cross-functional capabilities you know how to align Finance, Marketing, Product Management, Client Success and Sales around a single commercial plan.

• Clear executive communication you can present to the board as comfortably as you coach a new SDR.

• Experience in financial services, alternatives, or fintech a meaningful plus but not a dealbreaker for the right operator.

• Medical, dental, vision benefits

• Flexible PTO

• 401(k)

• Flexible work from home policy

• Home office stipend
