We are looking to hire for our team! In the role of Sr. Sales Operations Analyst, you will partner with the Senior Director of North America Channel Sales. Your work will accelerate sales excellence, reveal market opportunities, and guide corporate strategy across the organization.

Taking on this position, you'll bring both strategic vision and hands-on execution. You'll optimize sales processes and programs across direct and indirect sales teams, manage day-to-day operational health through pipeline reviews, performance monitoring, incentive creation, and actionable analytics.
