Job description

We’re a global tech company, just not the kind you’re picturing.

Our team of nearly a thousand people wakes up every day to make our product and our customers’ lives better. At SafetyCulture, you’ll hear “yes, let’s give it a shot” more often than “that’s not how we do things here.”

People join because we’re building tools that make work better for the 3 billion people who keep the world moving - factory floor operators, baggage handlers, truck drivers, servers, store assistants. The ones who make things happen. We’ve got the scale and innovation you’d expect from big tech. The difference? No endless layers of sign-off. No corporate theatre. Just smart, experienced people solving real problems fast

The scale is big. But the ownership’s personal. Every full-time team member gets equity - real skin in the game. When we grow, you do too. We’re not perfect, no company is. But this next chapter of our growth is about scaling with intelligence, not just size - fueled by operational maturity, a clear vision, and a strong focus on AI.

This is big tech impact, without the big tech ick. If that excites you more than it scares you, you’ll fit right in.

Drive Strategy. Power Growth. Lead at Scale.

We’re looking for a Sales Operations Lead to own and scale the revenue operations function across our European region. This is a pivotal role within a high‑growth, Global SaaS business; ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of data, strategy, and execution.

As the strategic partner to our EMEA Sales and Customer Success leaders, you will be responsible for building and managing the systems, cadences, and insights that drive predictable growth and operational efficiency across the entire go‑to‑market (GTM) motion. We are looking for a hands‑on SalesOps leader with a deep analytical mindset, financial rigour, and a proven track record of scaling regional GTM organisations. This is your opportunity to make a measurable impact.

What you’ll be doing

• Own and lead all Sales Operations for the EMEA region, aligning closely with GTM leaders to drive strategy, execution, and performance.
• Build and evolve forecasting models and performance frameworks that support data‑driven decision‑making and proactive GTM planning.
• Drive cadenced revenue reporting (monthly business reviews, quarterly business reviews, forecasting, pipeline analysis).
• Serve as the trusted advisor to Sales and CS leaders, providing insights on quota attainment, team performance, pipeline health, and customer success metrics.
• Define and implement scalable processes for sales and success across reporting, territory management and customer lifecycle.
• Identify and resolve gaps in reporting, data quality, and operational workflows.
• Collaborate cross‑functionally with global teams in Sales Ops, Finance, HR, Product, and Marketing to align EMEA’s GTM strategy with global goals.
• Lead or support high‑impact, cross‑functional strategic projects and initiatives.
• Lead the local Deal Desk to accelerate deal velocity for complex deals, provide a clear qualification process for RFPs, and ensure compliance to the commercial process for large deals.

What you’ll bring

• 5+ years of experience leading Revenue or Sales Operations in a high‑growth, multi‑regional SaaS environment.
• Proven ability to build and scale operational processes across multiple time zones.
• Deep expertise in forecasting, quota management, sales analytics, and GTM performance tracking.
• Financial and analytical fluency; comfortable building models and dashboards that guide strategic decision‑making.
• Hands‑on experience with CRM and GTM systems (Salesforce, Gainsight, Clari, etc.).
• Strong communication and influencing skills, with a track record of presenting to executive leadership.
• Highly collaborative, with the ability to lead through influence and align stakeholders across diverse teams.
• Experience in high‑growth, lean environments, and comfort rolling up sleeves to execute.

At SafetyCulture, we care about people and growing the team, through:

• Equity with high growth potential, and a competitive salary,
• Flexible working arrangements,
• Access to professional and personal training and development opportunities; Hackathons, Workshops, Lunch & Learns;
• We encourage involvement in the community, open source work, attending talks and events, and experimenting with new technologies.

You’ll also receive other perks such as:

• In‑house Culinary Crew serving up daily breakfast, lunch and snacks
• Wellbeing initiatives such as subsidised fitness programs, EAP services and generous parental leave policy
• Quarterly celebrations and team events, including the global Shiplt offsite
• Table tennis, board games, gym sessions, book club, and pet‑friendly offices.
