Use these frameworks to support resource allocation, revenue planning, and investment decisions.
  • Drive Financial Performance: Oversee FP&A activities for the global GTM organization, including monthly close processes, forecasting, and performance reporting.
  • Sales Headcount Reporting: Manage and report on sales headcount metrics, ensuring alignment with growth goals and operational plans. Provide insights into hiring needs, capacity planning, and productivity trends.
  • Deliver Insightful Reporting: Prepare quarterly business reviews, variance analyses, and C-level presentations to highlight financial results, emerging trends, and key drivers of performance.
  • Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Work closely with GTM teams to operationalize strategic goals through effective target setting and resource planning.
  • Influence Leadership Decisions: Provide in-depth analysis of GTM drivers and propose innovative solutions to complex challenges, ensuring the business remains on track to achieve objectives.
