About the Role & Team

Join our high-performing APAC Sales Operations team and play a critical role in supporting sales leadership through data-driven insights, business planning, forecasting, and strategic sales programs.

• Manage and support key Sales Operations programs, including forecast reviews, pipeline reviews, quarterly business reviews, month-end reporting, sales performance tracking, and strategic planning initiatives.
• Build and maintain dashboards, scorecards, forecasts, and analytical models that provide visibility into pipeline health, revenue performance, customer trends, sales productivity, and business outcomes.
• Drive data quality, compliance, and governance standards across Salesforce CRM and other business systems to ensure accurate reporting and reliable decision-making.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Sales, Finance, Human Resources, Marketing, Product, and other business teams to support operational excellence and business growth initiatives.
