This role will build a scalable operating foundation across Deal Desk, revenue systems, usage and billing operations, and Sales Operations. You will partner closely with Sales, GTM Finance, Accounting, Legal, and Platform to improve execution, increase visibility, and create a reliable commercial engine that can scale with the business.
