• This person needs to have experience with Sales / Revenue Operations and needs to be strong with analytics and Microsoft Excel
• Also, important to have some maturity and seniority because they will report to VP of Sales, and make sure Senior Managers are complying with processes.
• Also need to have the ability to envision and build new processes, reporting and tools
• Experience in Hubspot is a very good differentiator but not required.

What Some Responsibilities Entail:

• Refine and maintain sales KPIs and standardize scorecards at the company, region, RBDM, BDM, and channel levels.

• Produce account-level forecasts and actionable target lists

• Build repeatable materials and action tracking for L10s, 1:1s, pipeline reviews, Account reviews, and annual planning.

• Serve as the Sales business owner for HubSpot processes, data standards, workflows, dashboards, and adoption controls

• Partner with Technology on HubSpot configuration, integrations, testing, and data reconciliation across other sales systems

• Reduce manual reporting through standardized data models, automation, and self-service dashboards

• Support territory, capacity, quota, and sales-compensation planning in partnership with Sales leadership and Finance

• Build and maintain the infrastructure for onboarding, the Sales Playbook, skill tracking, and performance evaluations.

What We Are Looking For:

• Experience with pipeline management, forecasting, territory or account assignment, leading routing, and performance reporting.

• Ability to translate business needs into clear processes and system requirements

• Strong project-management skills and a record of taking cross-functional initiatives from definition through adoption.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the confidence to challenge assumptions and influence leaders without direct authority.

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience.

Helpful Experience:

• Travel, tour operator, cruise, hospitality, or travel-advisor distribution experience.

• Affinity, dealer, franchise, channel, or other relationship-based sales models.

• HubSpot administration or certification.

• Power BI, Tableau, Looker, SQL, or experience working with a data warehouse.

• Softrip, TourTools, or comparable travel-industry platforms.

• EOS or another structured operating system.
