Who You Are

You are a proactive problem-solver and diligent executor who is excited to support strategic sales initiatives and drive meaningful revenue outcomes across the business. You have strong analytical skills and experience building automations and workflows with AI tools to streamline forecasting, modeling, reporting, and analysis. You are a clear communicator, take ownership of your work, show attention to detail, and consistently deliver high-quality results on time — whether that's a comp plan, a forecast, or an executive-ready analysis. You are excited to dive deep into data to develop and implement practical solutions for quota design, incentive structures, and sales performance. You enjoy collaborating with cross-functional partners across Sales, Finance, and People to analyze and tackle complex problems, and you thrive in the pace of change at high-growth tech startups.

• Quota & Floor Design — contribute to quota-setting and floor design across segments, roles, and geographies; run scenario modeling and sensitivity analysis; lead calibration exercises with Sales leadership
• Sales Performance Optimization — collaborate with Sales leadership to develop and implement strategies to optimize sales performance including incentive redesigns, SPIFFs and pilot testing
• Incentive Design & Administration — build, test, and maintain incentive structures (OTE, base/variable split, accelerators, SPIFs) that drive rep behavior and revenue growth
• Comp Reporting & Governance — own recurring comp reporting, ad-hoc analyses, and audit controls; document runbooks and change-management processes
• AI-Enabled Productivity — build agentic workflows and automations that compress cycle times on modeling, reporting, and analysis
