Your mission is to enable our post-sales team to achieve ambitious revenue goals, transition our organization from reactive to proactive, and drive transformative change across the business.

Architect and implement AMER-wide strategic initiatives to drastically improve post-sales productivity, forecast accuracy, and pipeline visibility.

Partner deeply with AMER post-sales leadership to develop and execute strategies for scaling operations and consistently achieving aggressive churn and expand targets.

Act as a senior change agent, identifying opportunities for optimization and championing the introduction of new tools, technologies, and methodologies.

Lead complex, cross-functional projects that bridge the gap between global strategy and local AMER execution.

Proactive Diagnostics & Operations Support:

Move the AMER region beyond reactive reporting by building and overseeing intelligent early warning and action systems that power the post-sales organization.

Oversee the design, implementation, and optimization of highly complex post-sales processes, tools, and systems.

Deliver clear, contextual, and diagnostic insights directly into the daily workflows of Customer Success Business Partners and Renewal Managers, telling them not just what is happening, but why it's happening.

Ensure impeccable data accuracy and integrity within CRM and related systems, acting as the ultimate guardian of AMER operational data.

Drive post-sales forecasting for the region, leveraging predictive analytics and pipeline data to accurately forecast future revenue streams.

Foster strong, seamless relationships with cross-functional teams (Sales, Product, GTM Analytics, GTM Tech, and Enablement) to ensure project success and total operational alignment.

Serve as the Intelligence & Operations thought leader for the AMER region, providing actionable insights and data-backed recommendations to executive leadership.
