• AI adoption and operationalization: implement and spread the use of Artificial Intelligence in day-to-day prospecting (research, personalization, first-contact agents, call analysis), aligned with Pipefy's AI-first strategy.;
• Funnel bottleneck diagnosis: use data to identify where the team is losing efficiency (MQL to SAL to Connect to SQL to Meeting Held to Opportunity) and propose structured improvement experiments;
• Cross-functional collaboration: act as a bridge between the operational team and stakeholders in Marketing (PMMs, BU Managers), Sales (AEs, AMs, Managers), RevOps, and Leadership, translating needs into executable actions;
• Reporting and governance: contribute to the production of performance analyses, risk identification, and narrative building for executive forums (RoB, all-hands);
• Culture and engagement: create and maintain a collaborative, high-performance, and psychologically safe environment aligned with Pipefy's values;
• Adopt continuous improvement practices specifically using artificial intelligence.
