The role will be a part of the B2B Program management team that will help craft and execute B2B strategy across North America. While our site and app experience allows for seamless self-service, our higher-value customers benefit from sales support. Sales teams establish relationships with purchasing decision-makers, educate customers about Wayfair’s assortment, services, and capabilities, and proactively reach out to intercept emerging needs to help them complete their orders and projects.

We seek a motivated leader who will partner with Sales leaders and internal enablement team members to optimize the sales process to consistently exceed sales targets and customer experience. The role will report to the Program Management team lead (L5), and partner directly with Sales GMs (L5/L6) of the respective program, channel, or Capabilities team to drive overall operational improvements and accelerate speed to achieve program goals.

    • Deeply understand both qualitative and quantitative trends in the business through active “voice of seller” engagement, strong knowledge of short/long-term KPI trends
    • Develop near-term action plans to address underperformance and/or accelerate positive trends, driving from problem statement through to implementation / adoption
    • Create long-term (6+ month) roadmap to accelerate channel / program performance, in conjunction with overall B2B and Consumer Sales OKRs, cross-functional resources, and headcount considerations
  • Manage team of 3-4 Associates to:
    • Coordinate resourcing across various initiatives (e.g., sprint planning, load balancing, coordinating across Business Enablement and cross-functional teams)
    • Assist in scoping team project initiatives, ensuring project management operational excellence from problem definition through execution
    • Drive execution to project deliverables, including hitting stage gate milestones, preparing / delivering updates to sales / cross-functional leadership and incorporating feedback
  • Coordinate cross-functional teams and resources, assessing and acting on tradeoffs across the business (e.g., across sales programs, tech resources)

What You’ll Need

  • 7+ years of experience in revenue operations, project / program management, strategy & operations, consulting, or similar roles supporting Sales, Customer Service, or Marketing teams
  • Communication: Ability to understand and empathize with diverse stakeholders across functions, and tailor messaging / communication appropriately to ensure resonance; ability to create consistent messaging about complex projects, flexing to audience needs but creating cohesion on the objective and guiding principles
  • Strategic thinking / problem solving: Ability to break down complex, ambiguous problems into logical objectives, translating sales needs into discrete, actionable steps for partner teams to execute
  • Cross-functional collaboration: Passion for working collaboratively across functions to drive operational improvements and projects. Empathetic with stakeholder (sales team) and partner (sales tech, analytics, sales performance and training, customer experience and journey) needs and perspectives to drive cohesive vision and execution
  • Team leadership: Experience leading teams of associates, leveraging team members to maximize speed to execution, proactively coaching toward operational excellence, developing and leveraging diverse skill sets, managing workloads to delegate and distribute appropriately
  • Program/Process management: Ability to manage processes efficiently by scoping logical steps from ideation to project completion, organizing data / materials for broad understanding, synthesizing stakeholder feedback, ensuring project interim steps are on time, and delivering results on time with high quality
