• Coordinate cross-functional teams and resources, assessing and acting on tradeoffs across the business (e.g., across sales programs, tech resources)
• Help the business understand how well are we executing the overall roadmap and individual programs / initiatives within the roadmap (e.g., % of initiatives completed on time, quality of execution, % adoption from Sales)

What You’ll Need:

• 3+ years of experience in sales enablement, project / program management, strategy & operations, consulting, or similar roles supporting Sales, Customer Service, or Marketing teams
