Sales Strategy & Operations Manager

About Us:

We're on a mission to make it possible for every person, team, and company to be able to tailor their software to solve any problem and take on any challenge. Computers may be our most powerful tools, but most of us can't build or modify the software we use on them every day. At Notion, we want to change this with focus, design, and craft.

We've been working on this together since 2016, and have customers like Pixar, Mitsubishi, Figma, Plaid, Match Group, and thousands more on this journey with us. Today, we're growing fast and excited for new teammates to join us who are the best at what they do. We're passionate about building a company as diverse and creative as the millions of people Notion reaches worldwide.

Notion is an in person company, and currently requires its employees to come to the office for two Anchor Days (Mondays & Thursdays) and requests that employees spend the majority of their week in the office (including a third day).

About The Role:

As a Sales Strategy & Operations Manager, you'll play a crucial role in shaping our go-to-market strategy and driving data-informed decision-making across our sales organization. This position sits at the intersection of sales, strategy, and analytics, offering the opportunity to significantly impact Notion's growth trajectory. You'll work closely with sales leadership and cross-functional teams to optimize processes, deliver actionable insights, and support key strategic initiatives. You will report directly to the Head of Sales Strategy & Operations.

We are looking for someone who is a first-principles thinker, has strong analytical skills, and is effective at building cross-functional partnerships. You should be excited to dive into analyses, modeling and process improvement — as well as have a high sense of ownership, track record of building from scratch and ability to communicate across levels and audiences to get things done.

• Operations Strategy: Think from first principles as to how Notion’s revenue teams should be organized, designed and managed. Help us set the target operating state, set work back plans to achieve the target and be a hands own driver and owner of the path there. Help us design the big picture, but roll up your sleeves to get into the detail.
• Actionable Performance Visibility: Build KPI reviews that identify risks and trends, enabling data-driven decisions across all levels. Design and implement comprehensive sales performance dashboards that provide clear visibility into our operations. Generate insights about performance and drivers to guide critical decisions. Partner with RevOps, GTM Leads and BizTech to establish robust global operating processes.
• Data, Process & Tooling: Design and maintain core processes, e.g. target setting, forecasting, and performance driver analyses. Partner with Data and BizTech to streamline team operations while providing leadership with comprehensive insights — leveraging tools such as, Salesforce, Common Room, Gong, Tableau and Hex.

Skills You'll Need to Bring:

• 1-3 years working in sales operations, strategy, or analytics roles, preferably in a high-growth SaaS environment

• Strong analytical skills -- can model any operational question full cycle (develop assumptions and output)
