Request Intake & Triage

• Design and own an intake process for Sales requests directed to the Analytics team, ensuring requests are properly scoped, prioritized, and routed.
• Interface with Engineering to manage the flow of Sales requests — clarifying requirements, tracking status, and ensuring timely delivery.
• In partnership with the Manager, Analytics & Reporting - serve as the single point of accountability for Sales-originated requests, moving through Analytics and Engineering, reducing duplication and competing asks.

• Use feedback and performance insights to recommend system and process improvements.

Business Partnership & Sales Engineering Support

• Partner with Sales, Sales Enablement, Analytics, Product, and Engineering teams to support system needs and business priorities.
• Bring a consultative mindset to stakeholder engagements — diagnosing root problems rather than just fulfilling requests, and guiding teams toward scalable solutions.
• Track and communicate key requests, risks, dependencies, decisions, and delivery status.
• Translate technical considerations and tradeoffs into clear business recommendations, and vice versa.
• Provide technical/sales engineering support as needed — helping Sales understand and articulate product and tooling capabilities internally and to customers.

• Experience with CRM, workflow, or comparable enterprise platforms.
• A consultative mindset and approach — able to build trust with stakeholders, ask the right questions, and guide decisions rather than simply execute requests.
• Strong communication, problem-solving, prioritization, documentation, and stakeholder management skills.
• Proven ability to act as a conduit between technical and business teams, flexing between engineering depth and executive-level business framing.
• Ability to travel up to 25% based on business needs.
