- Coordinate cross-functional stakeholder alignment on the plan; facilitate discussions with Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, and Finance to build buy-in and ensure feasibility
- Communicate the plan cascading priorities, resource allocation, and expected outcomes to the broader organization
- Lead GTM strategy initiatives and programs throughout the year, such as: Global Accounts strategy and operations, New Logo go-to-market approach, market expansion planning, channel and partner strategy
- Develop and maintain critical business reporting and dashboards; track plan versus actual, highlight variances, and provide insights to guide course corrections
- Conduct periodic reviews of plan performance; identify what's working, what isn't, and inform next iteration of planning
- Serve as a strategic advisor to Revenue Operations and business leadership on GTM strategy, resource allocation, and organizational design decisions
- Drive process improvements and modernization in how we approach planning, using data, technology, and best practices to increase effectiveness

- Strong understanding of enterprise SaaS go-to-market models, sales structures, and the factors that drive ACV, ARR, win rates, and team productivity
