Acting as the strategic operating partner to Sales Leadership, Country Heads, and CRM, this role ensures commercial execution is aligned to global strategy while optimized for local market realities. The position blends revenue strategy, operating rigor, forecasting discipline, and performance governance, functioning as the de-facto operating leader for the commercial engine—without direct P&L ownership.

This role works hands-on with Sales, CRM, and regional leadership to ensure revenue plans convert into execution, forecasts translate into outcomes, and data drives decisions.

• Diagnose performance gaps and drive corrective actions across pipeline generation, conversion, and velocity
• Support strategic account prioritization and resource deployment decisions

CRM & Commercial Execution Partnership

• Work closely with CRM leadership to ensure systems, data, and processes support sales execution
• Ensure CRM insights are translated into actionable commercial decisions
• Champion adoption of standard sales processes while accommodating local nuances

Cross-Functional Leadership

• Coordinate with Deal Desk, Commercial Operations, Revenue Analytics, and Compensation teams
• Influence without authority to unblock deals, resolve execution issues, and accelerate revenue outcomes
• Leverage associate teams (managed by another leader) for analysis, reporting, and operational support

Key Stakeholders

• Global & Regional Sales Leadership
• Country Heads
• CRM Leadership
• Revenue Operations & Commercial Operations
• Executive Leadership

Required Experience & Profile

• 12–18+ years experience in revenue/sales strategy, sales/revenue operations, commercial management, or business management roles
• Strong background in financial services, asset management, funds, or adjacent regulated environments
• Proven experience operating across multiple geographies and complex sales structures
• Deep understanding of sales motions, CRM-led execution, forecasting, and revenue governance
• Exceptional ability to influence senior stakeholders without direct authority
• Comfortable operating at both strategic and executional levels
• Experience working with Salesforce and enterprise CRM ecosystems strongly preferred
