The Role

Reporting to the Director of Revenue Strategy & Analytics, the Sales Strategy Lead is the primary business partner to the Sales VPs. This role owns the strategy work for our scaling GTM machine: translating analytical output into GTM recommendations, owning segment-level business reviews, and the daily grind of driving our sales execution forward in partnership with Sales leadership.

This is an embedded, high-trust role. The Sales VPs should be coming to this person first — for deal strategy, territory questions, pipeline reads, and planning inputs. The right candidate has both the analytical horsepower to own a segmentation model and the credibility to challenge a VP of Sales on their pipeline. This role starts as a senior IC and grows into a team lead as we scale.

The right candidate is actively building with AI tools, with a specific point of view on how that changes the way a sales strategy function operates.

Responsibilities

GTM Strategy & Sales VP Partnership

  • Serve as the primary strategic partner to Sales VPs on segment strategy, territory design, ICP prioritization, sales plays, and growth initiatives.

  • Own QBR preparation and delivery for your segments: synthesize pipeline data, field signal, and competitive dynamics into clear recommendations.

  • Lead territory carving, account tiering, and sales play development in partnership with Sales leadership and RevOps.

Planning & Investment Analysis

  • Partner with peers and cross-functionally on annual and quarterly planning: pressure test our GTM investment thesis with deep inspection and quantitative viewpoints about segment-level targets, territory models, and capacity inputs.

  • Maintain an ongoing read on segment performance — win rates, deal velocity, pipeline health — and bring proactive recommendations when the trend lines shift.

Operating Cadence

  • Own the weekly operating rhythm for your segments: forecast inputs, pipeline reviews, and leadership staff meeting prep.

  • Prepare executive materials that go from raw data to clear recommendation — not decks that describe the problem.

AI-Native Operations

  • Build AI-native workflows into how this role operates: account research, pipeline review prep, competitive briefs, and executive content generation.

Qualifications

  • 7+ years spanning at least two of: revenue/sales operations, quota-carrying sales or customer ownership, and GTM strategy or management consulting

  • Has been embedded with a quota-carrying sales team — not adjacent to it

  • Strong analytical skills; can go from raw data to executive recommendation without a data team supporting every request

  • SQL proficiency: independently queries Salesforce-derived data

  • Has owned at least one major GTM motion end-to-end: territory redesign, quota modeling, QBR architecture, or sales play development

  • Actively using AI tools in current workflow

Preferred

  • Experience at an AI/ML infrastructure or developer tools company

  • Background in management consulting or strategic finance before a GTM role

  • Familiarity with GPU economics or consumption-based pricing models

  • Has supported a sales org through a significant scaling event
