About the role

  • You will not define readiness for any one team
  • You will be the connective tissue that holds the launch and deals coalitions together.
  • AI is not a tool you reach for occasionally.

Responsibilities

  • Within the first 90 days, deliver at least two production AI-assisted workflows that demonstrably reduce coordination time for the Strategic Finance team.
  • Track each cross-functional team's progress against their own playbook, surface gaps, and ensure dependencies are visible to the right owners with enough lead time to resolve.
  • Run the standing launch forums, drive decisions to closure, and keep every team aligned on timing, scope, and dependencies.
  • Scale and improve Strategic Deal Alerts, building on the recently launched motion that surfaces competitive and emerging deals to the right Product and GTM owners along with the context, win-rate intelligence, and actions they need to engage at the right time.
  • Build the AI-assisted workflows, signals, and tooling that scale cross-functional coordination across the team.
  • Maintain and improve the program management operating system: intake form, RACI, status reporting cadence, escalation paths, and communication templates that make launches repeatable.
  • Each cross-functional team owns their domain checklist; this role owns the connective tissue between them.
  • Support Strategic Pursuits.
  • Provide program management support to the Strategic Pursuits team on qualifying deals: deal readiness, bid management, and cross-functional sequencing across Pricing, Legal, Revenue Accounting, and go-to-market partners.
  • Help build out the operating motion that scales new business models from Strategic Pursuits incubation through graduation to standard go-to-market.

Requirements

  • Demonstrated track record running cross-functional programs across multiple stakeholder groups (e.g., Pricing, Legal, Revenue Accounting, Sales Operations, Product, Engineering, and go-to-market).
  • Comfort driving decisions to closure without owning every domain yourself, and the credibility to hold peer leaders accountable to deadlines.
  • Experience commercializing M&A acquisitions or new business models in a multi-product portfolio.
  • Familiarity with consumption-based and usage-based pricing in cloud, data, or AI platforms.
  • You have shipped production AI-assisted workflows or agents at a prior role: prompts, evaluations, integrations, deployment to real users.

Nice to have

  • Strong communicator with executive presence.
  • Capable of translating cross-functional complexity into clean executive narratives, running productive multi-stakeholder meetings, and driving alignment in writing.
  • Comfort with ambiguity.
  • Willingness to operate without a fully defined playbook on launches and deals that are precedent-setting and not covered by existing process.
  • High-trust, low-ego working style.
  • Bachelor's degree in Business, Systems Research or Operations, Math or Statistics, or related discipline.
  • MBA, PMP, or equivalent program management credential preferred.

Compensation

  • You will partner closely with leaders across Product, Engineering, Pricing, Legal, Revenue Accounting, Deal Desk, Sales Compensation, Sales Operations, Billing, Reporting, and Enablement.
