Request Intake & Triage

• Use feedback and performance insights to recommend system and process improvements.

Business Partnership & Sales Engineering Support

• Partner with Sales, Sales Enablement, Analytics, Product, and Engineering teams to support system needs and business priorities.
• Bring a consultative mindset to stakeholder engagements — diagnosing root problems rather than just fulfilling requests, and guiding teams toward scalable solutions.
• Track and communicate key requests, risks, dependencies, decisions, and delivery status.
• Translate technical considerations and tradeoffs into clear business recommendations, and vice versa.
• Provide technical/sales engineering support as needed — helping Sales understand and articulate product and tooling capabilities internally and to customers.

• 10+ years of project management experience, ideally spanning technical and Sales/GTM environments.
• Bachelor’s degree in information systems, Business Analytics, Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field, or equivalent relevant experience.

• Significant experience supporting Sales systems, business technology platforms, Sales Operations, or related systems work.
• Demonstrated experience translating business needs into technical requirements and partnering with engineering teams through testing, release, and adoption.
• Experience designing or managing intake/triage processes for cross-functional requests (e.g., analytics, engineering, or IT request queues).
• Experience with CRM, workflow, or comparable enterprise platforms.
• A consultative mindset and approach — able to build trust with stakeholders, ask the right questions, and guide decisions rather than simply execute requests.
• Strong communication, problem-solving, prioritization, documentation, and stakeholder management skills.
• Proven ability to act as a conduit between technical and business teams, flexing between engineering depth and executive-level business framing.
• Ability to travel up to 25% based on business needs.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience as a product owner, platform owner, business systems analyst, Sales Operations systems partner, or sales engineer.
• Experience with intake/ticketing tools (Jira, ServiceNow, or similar) to manage request pipelines.
