Job description

Welcome to Planet. We believe in using space to help life on Earth.

Planet designs, builds, and operates the largest constellation of imaging satellites in history. This constellation delivers an unprecedented dataset of empirical information via a revolutionary cloud-based platform to authoritative figures in commercial, environmental, and humanitarian sectors. We are both a space company and data company all rolled into one.

Customers and users across the globe use Planet's data to develop new technologies, drive revenue, power research, and solve our world's toughest obstacles.

As we control every component of hardware design, manufacturing, data processing, and software engineering, our office is a truly inspiring mix of experts from a variety of domains.

We have a people-centric approach toward culture and community and we strive to iterate in a way that puts our team members first and prepares our company for growth. Join Planet and be a part of our mission to change the way people see the world.

Planet is a global company with employees working remotely world wide and joining us from offices in San Francisco, Washington DC, Germany, Austria, Slovenia, and The Netherlands.

About the Role:

The Revenue Operations Manager owns complex quote support and operational execution while influencing strategy, systems, and process design across the revenue engine. This role acts as a key cross-functional leader, driving consistency, scalability, and compliance across quote-to-cash and broader RevOps initiatives.

This is a global role supporting cross-regional stakeholders. While primary support will focus on local/regional AEs and Sales Managers, the role requires collaboration across time zones and flexibility in work schedules to meet business needs.

This is a full-time, hybrid role which will require you to work from our San Francisco or Washington D.C. office 3 days per week.

Impact You'll Own:

• Own complex and non-standard deal structures, including pricing exceptions, amendments, and multi-element agreements
• Ensure all quotes are compliant with SOX, revenue recognition, and booking policies
• Influence upstream deal behavior by educating Sales on best practices and policy implications
• Transition from user to system thinker-understanding how changes impact downstream processes
• Extract insights from operational data and translate them into actionable recommendations
• Recommend, lead and manage scalable process improvements from design through implementation
• Document and standardize processes to support growth and audit readiness
• Act as a trusted advisor to Sales leadership, Finance, Legal and cross-functional partners
• Surface trends, risks, and improvement opportunities

What You Bring:

• 6+ years of experience in Revenue Operations, Sales Operations, Deal Desk, or Finance Operations
• Bachelor's Degree in a relevant field
• Experience supporting global, multi-segment sales organizations
• Ownership of complex quote-to-cash processes across regions
• Experience partnering directly with Sales Directors, Finance leadership, Accounting, Legal, and Systems teams

What Makes You Stand Out:

• You think like a revenue architect - understanding how quoting decisions impact forecasting, accounting, renewals, and long-term customer value
• You bring structured recommendations to leadership, not just summaries
• You've influenced global process standardization while navigating regional complexity

Benefits While Working at Planet:

These offerings are dependent on employment type and geographical location, based upon applicable law or company policy.

• Comprehensive Medical, Dental, and Vision plans
• Health Savings Account (HSA) with a company contribution
• Generous Paid Time Off in addition to holidays and company-wide days off
• 16 Weeks of Paid Parental Leave
• Wellness Program and Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
• Home Office Reimbursement
• Monthly Phone and Internet Reimbursement
• Tuition Reimbursement and access to LinkedIn Learning
• Equity
• Commuter Benefits (if local to an office)
• Volunteering Paid Time Off
