Job description

The Senior Commercial Operations Analyst serves as a strategic business partner within the Commercial Operations organization, supporting the design and execution of sales strategies that drive revenue growth, field effectiveness, and organizational performance.

• Commercial & Strategic Acumen: Understands how sales strategy, compensation, targets, territory design, marketing activity, resource allocation, and operational decisions influence commercial performance. Connects analysis to broader business objectives and practical recommendations.
• Analytical Thinking & Decision Support: Evaluates business performance, identifies meaningful trends and root causes, tests assumptions, and develops actionable recommendations. Uses data as a tool to support decisions rather than treating reporting as the end product.
• Executive Communication & Storytelling: Translates complex commercial information into clear, concise narratives for operational leaders, executives, and board audiences. Communicates not only what the data shows, but why it matters and what actions should follow.
• Cross-Functional Partnership: Builds productive relationships across Sales, Marketing, Finance, Operations, and Executive Leadership to align priorities, solve business problems, and advance commercial initiatives.
• Business Planning & Problem Solving: Approaches ambiguous commercial challenges with curiosity, sound judgment, and a solution-oriented mindset. Balances quantitative analysis with business context when developing recommendations.
• Quality, Ownership & Execution: Maintains strong attention to detail while managing multiple strategic and recurring priorities. Produces accurate, timely work and takes ownership from initial analysis through recommendation and follow-through.
