Revenue operations analyst

📐 About this role

We're looking for a Revenue Operations Analyst to optimize our revenue processes, encompassing GTM planning strategy and compensation operations. You'll be a key player in ensuring accurate, timely, and strategic processes across our go-to-market (GTM) teams, and contribute to the planning and execution of GTM strategies. You'll collaborate closely with Finance, HR, Sales Leadership, and other GTM teams to drive clarity, accountability, and precision across our incentive structures and overall revenue operations. This is an ideal role for someone who thrives in cross-functional environments, loves turning complex data into actionable insights and clean models, and brings rigor to processes while maintaining flexibility in a scaling company.

What’s in it for you

You’ll work on a team that gives you a high degree of autonomy, trusts your intuition, and invests in your growth. We're action and impact oriented. We value high-quality execution and strive to create a working environment that allows you to move fast and learn.

You’ll work with a manager who also “shovels dirt” and rolls up their sleeves to get work done; they’ll have “done it before” and so will have a deeper empathy for your day-to-day. Your manager will also provide context and visibility, allowing you to build deeper relationships and intuition that’ll help you scale out your impact.
