As part of Okta’s Go-To-Market Strategy & Operations group, the Planning & Analytics team drives insight and scale within the field organization.  We oversee the analytics that enable our leaders to make data-driven decisions, and lay the groundwork for an integrated financial and operational plan.  

The Senior Manager, GTM Planning & Analytics will be close to the company’s most critical performance data and develop a keen understanding of how Okta acquires revenue.  In this role, you’ll transform complex datasets into structured analyses and turn insights into action by building tools and processes that help determine the trajectory of Okta’s rocket ship.  You’ll partner with a diverse group of functional teams such as Field Operations, Customer First Operations, FP&A, and Data & Insights to ensure alignment with our go-to-market plan, data infrastructure, and strategic initiatives.

Job Duties & Responsibilities:

• Own key models, analyses, and processes to help drive our go-to-market strategy and initiatives:
• Long range plan (i.e. Product unit growth, total addressable market penetration)
• Go to market structure (i.e. Sales segmentation, propensity to buy, coverage model) 
• Establish standard reports, tools, and cadence to build a narrative around key business trends, and provide actionable insights for senior leadership.  
• Deliver financial and capacity plans during the annual planning cycle.  Build bottom-up models that thread the needle across functional teams and present recommendations to senior Go-To-Market leadership through highlighting key growth levers and potential risks.
• Become an expert in how our data is captured, how it ties to underlying business processes, and how it impacts key metrics and reports.  Codify our metrics and data dictionary while also enabling GTM and cross-functional teams on standard reports.
• Identify operational gaps in our reporting capabilities and/or inefficiencies in the planning process.  Work with the Data and Business Systems teams to build scalable solutions.

Required Skills & Qualifications: 

• 8+ years working in an operational and analytical capacity, with at least 3 years in Sales Operations or FP&A; B2B SaaS experience preferred.
• Deep experience modeling complex business problems, both conceptually and tactically (i.e. spreadsheets, analysis tools, visualization).
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with experience presenting to executive leadership teams
• Excellent quantitative and MS Excel skills (i.e. sumifs, index/match and vlookup, table formulas).
• Experience with Anaplan or other planning tools a plus 
• Experience with Tableau or other analysis/BI tools a plus
• Familiarity with MySQL or similar database querying language (you’ve heard of a left join).
• Endless curiosity and a need to dive deeper for understanding.
• Self-motivation, with the desire and capacity to work both independently and collaboratively.
