Build and improve the commercial operating system for the sales organization. Responsibilities include designing sales methodology and funnel governance, improving installed-base and MRO opportunity capture, establishing performance KPIs and operating cadences, strengthening channel effectiveness, reducing process friction, developing sales tools and playbooks, and leading cross-functional sales effectiveness initiatives. The role uses analytics, Salesforce, AI, and automation to improve win rates, seller productivity, forecast reliability, and commercial accountability.
The Sales Excellence Leader will help build and continuously improve the commercial operating system for the Head of Sales, enabling the sales organization to create stronger funnel, win more effectively, maximize installed-base/MRO value and execute with greater discipline.
