The Team: You’ll be part of the Revenue Operations Forecasting & Analytics team surrounded by adept complementary partners in marketing, sales, data science, business intelligence, dataops, finance, and more.

• Partner with Business Intelligence to build production-ready dashboards to help business partners make faster and better decisions
• Engage cross-functionally with Revenue Operations (SalesOps, MarOps, DataOps) to maintain data integrity and identify changes needed to databases to support marketing team requirements

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, especially with assisting in generating inputs to reviews and reports that are often assembled just-in-time
• Self-starter who thrives in a rapidly changing environment, unfazed by blank sheet of paper problems (vs. highly structured environment).
• Ability to inform and support senior leadership, drive change, and also pivot to work in the details to troubleshoot issues.
• Intermediate to advanced SQL
