The Chief of Staff will report to and partner directly with the EVP, Revenue, focusing on our Revenue organization. You'll work closely with cross-functional leaders — including RevOps, Sales, and Marketing — to drive execution, alignment, and strategy across our most critical revenue and go-to-market initiatives. This candidate will help operate key parts of the Revenue business and identify and lead high-impact initiatives. It is critical that the Chief of Staff is aligned to our operating principles. This individual must be able to work in a fast-changing, ambiguous environment. The Chief of Staff will amplify the effectiveness of the EVP and the rest of the Revenue leadership team. What you will be doing:

• Work directly with the EVP and Revenue leadership to define GTM priorities, including pipeline, quota coverage, and headcount planning
• Partner closely with the EVP and cross-functional leaders (RevOps, Marketing, Product, Finance) to support execution and strategic alignment on top Revenue initiatives
• Help the EVP align revenue goals with company-wide objectives and drive cross-functional execution across Sales, Marketing, and RevOps
• Support the Revenue organization in prioritizing initiatives, managing operating cadences (weekly business reviews, forecast cycles, pipeline reviews), and ensuring follow-through on key decisions and action items
• Form an independent point of view on what is required to hit ACV/bookings targets. Work with Revenue leadership to identify gaps (coverage, conversion, capacity), define plans to close them, and drive execution
• Shape and manage the objectives and operating cadence of Revenue leadership team meetings — facilitating discussions on the right topics and managing follow-up on action items
• Lead and organize content creation for board materials, QBRs, and key documents related to revenue performance and strategy
• Track and impact pipeline, conversion, and attainment signals across verticals/segments, flagging risks and recommending corrective action
• Identify opportunities across the go-to-market org and lead high-impact strategic projects (e.g., comp design, forecasting infrastructure, competitive response)

What you should have: The ideal candidate is someone with 3 - 7+ years of total experience, including experience in either revenue/sales operations, GTM strategy, business consulting (Bain, McKinsey, etc.), or as part of an internal strategy and/or operations team.
