Reporting directly to our CEO, Shikhar Shrestha linkedin.com, this executive will be the connective tissue of our GTM organization — setting strategy, building the team and systems, and instilling operational rigor as we scale. You will own the rhythm of the business across forecasting, analytics, systems, process design, and pipeline governance, and you'll build and lead the Revenue Operations function as the company grows. This role is ideal for a strategic operator and proven leader who thrives at the intersection of insight, execution, and cross-functional leadership — and who wants to make a measurable, company-level impact in a rapidly growing, mission-driven organization.

Ensure top-down and bottom-up forecasts pencil across Marketing, Sales, and CS, and present forecast and GTM performance to the executive team and board. - Team Leadership: Build and lead the Revenue Operations function — define its structure, hiring roadmap, and operating model, and hire and develop the team as the company scales. - Process & Funnel Optimization: Design and refine end-to-end lead-to-cash and customer lifecycle processes; improve funnel conversion and eliminate operational friction across the GTM motion. - Systems & Data Management: Own CRM architecture (HubSpot, Salesforce), the GTM tech stack, data governance, and automation strategy, including tool consolidation and upleveling.
