Company values
Happy to Help
Help is our first name. We show up for others, not because we have to, but because we want to. We share knowledge and give freely by default, and operate with generosity and empathy for each other, our customers, and our community. After all, there is no I in team (or software).
Craft over Convention
Although it’s tempting to follow a well-worn path, we push ourselves to run beyond it — even when that sets us apart from our peers. We’re building a culture where it’s safe to be ambitious and hold each other to high standards. That’s why we obsess over the last 10%, because it shows up for our customers and the business in powerful ways.
Progress not Perfection
The work of building a product, culture, and brand is never done – we ship our best effort, listen, iterate, then repeat. Seeking progress requires the vulnerability to be curious, humble, and hungry to learn. Great ideas can come from anywhere, so we share our work openly, welcome the perspective of others, and continuously search for what can be improved.
Own the Outcome
Ownership is key to our collective success. We consider the impact on our team and our community before we act, and believe that trust and integrity are non-negotiable. To create a better future, our decisions are made with stakeholders today and ten years from now in mind.

About the Role
This role reports directly to our Chief Financial Officer (Shawna Fisher) and will partner closely with our Chief Revenue Officer (Andrea Kayal).
You’ll lead a team of 5 people in designing the strategy, choosing the technology, and building and maintaining the analytics infrastructure of our go-to-market organization.
As part of our centralized team structure, the Revenue Operations function operates within the broader Business Team. In this role, you will lead the Revenue Operations and Data team, supporting our Revenue (sales, marketing, and partners), Product, and Business teams as we scale. Your responsibilities will ensure the reliability, consistency, and accuracy of reporting our data and metrics across the company, which will be critical in driving operational excellence and informed decision-making.
You’ll develop and refine the Revenue Operations roadmap. You’ll set a strategy when determining which projects to invest resources into and the implementation sequencing. This could be implementing a new tool for the Partnerships team, writing compensation plans for the revenue team, or building the processes and systems for a new reseller channel. You’ll empower the team to execute while staying close to each project and ensuring excellence is met.
You’ll oversee all technology across the Revenue team, including the CRMs (Help Scout, HubSpot, SalesForce), our data stack (DBT, BigQuery, Looker), and automations. This includes vendor evaluation, procurement, and implementation. You’ll look ahead and understand the tradeoffs of certain technology decisions, limit technical debt, and only introduce complexity when needed.
Much of your day-to-day will be helping our leaders make decisions based on accurate data while holding them accountable to this standard.
You’ll manage the operations related to variable compensation payouts for sales and marketing.
You’ll collaborate with our product and engineering teams to proactively improve our strategy for data warehousing and data architecture.
