Position Summary

The Principal, Revenue Operations & GTM Execution is a senior operational leader within the Sales Operations team, reporting directly to the VP of Sales Operations. This role ensures that Coalfire’s GTM strategy translates into coordinated execution across marketing, sales, offering management, delivery, and partners.

The role will own pipeline health and lead quality from the top of the funnel through opportunity creation, manage Coalfire’s outsourced SDR program, and own the GTM calendar that sequences go-to-market activities. The right candidate thrives in ambiguity, drives outcomes in a fast-moving and changing environment, and has the business acumen and executive presence to influence Sales Leadership.

A role that drives go-to-market execution

This role is the operational engine coordinating activity across marketing, sales, offering management, delivery, and partners to ensure strategy translates into execution and pipeline opportunities are never left unmanaged.

Pipeline ownership and development

This leader will own the full pipeline from MQL to opportunity — ensuring no lead goes unactioned and that the handoff between marketing and sales is seamless and accountable. This role actively monitors pipeline generation against targets, holding teams accountable to commitments.

GTM calendar ownership

This role will own the GTM calendar, sequencing and aligning activity across marketing campaigns & events, offering launches, partner programs, SDR plays, AE activity, and training — ensuring all go-to-market activity is coordinated and connected to pipeline goals.

Ownership of the SDR program

This role owns Coalfire’s outsourced SDR program — managing the vendor relationship, setting performance expectations, and ensuring SDR activity is aligned to pipeline targets and GTM priorities. The expectation is that the SDR program is a reliable, accountable source of pipeline generation.

What You'll Do

    Pipeline & Lead Management

  • Own the MQL to opportunity handoff process — ensuring leads are routed correctly, followed up on promptly, and that no lead goes unactioned.
  • Partner with marketing to define and maintain lead quality standards, MQL definitions, and conversion benchmarks; hold both sides accountable to agreed service levels.
  • Monitor pipeline generation against targets on a weekly basis; identify gaps and hold teams accountable to commitments.
  • Serve as the primary point of escalation when pipeline generation is at risk — proactively surfacing issues to Sales Leadership before they become forecast problems.
  • Partner with the Director, Forecasting & Revenue Analytics to ensure top-of-funnel metrics connect to pipeline and bookings forecasts.
  • GTM Enablement Coordination

  • Coordinate across marketing, offering management, and delivery to ensure the field has the tools and content needed to execute — including pricing, bid sheets, scoping tables, proposal templates, and value messaging.
  • Partner with Sales Leadership and key stakeholders to understand field needs, proactively identify content gaps, and ensure the right owners are aware and accountable for delivery.
  • Align enablement activity to the GTM calendar — ensuring content and training are delivered ahead of campaigns, offering launches, and partner programs.
  • Outsourced SDR Management

  • Own the relationship with Coalfire’s outsourced SDR vendor — including performance management, target setting, activity alignment, and contract oversight.
  • Define and manage SDR KPIs: outbound activity, meeting set rates, pipeline contribution, and lead quality; hold the vendor accountable to targets on a regular cadence.
  • Ensure SDR activity is aligned to GTM priorities — including campaign support, segment focus, and AE territory coverage.
  • Serve as the internal advocate for SDR performance — escalating issues, driving improvements, and evaluating vendor effectiveness on an ongoing basis.
  • Partner with Sales Leadership to ensure SDR-sourced pipeline meets quality and coverage requirements for each segment and region.
  • GTM Calendar Ownership

  • Own and maintain Coalfire’s master GTM calendar — coordinating activity across marketing campaigns, events, offering launches, partner programs, SDR plays, AE activity, and training.
  • Ensure all GTM activities are sequenced logically, resourced appropriately, and connected to pipeline and bookings goals.
  • Drive accountability across teams to GTM calendar commitments — identifying gaps, conflicts, or missed handoffs and escalating or resolving as needed.
  • Partner with marketing, offering management, delivery, and sales to align on priorities, timing, and resource requirements for upcoming GTM activity.
  • Maintain visibility into the GTM calendar at the leadership level — providing regular updates to the VP of Sales Operations and CRO on upcoming activity and risks.
  • Travel
  • Travel as required by leadership — generally less than 20%

What You'll Bring

  • 10+ years of experience in Revenue Operations, Sales Operations, or a senior GTM operational role in a B2B environment
  • Demonstrated experience owning pipeline health and marketing-to-sales alignment at a senior level
  • Experience managing an outsourced or in-house SDR / BDR program
  • Proven ability to drive cross-functional alignment and accountability without direct authority
  • Proficiency in Salesforce and familiarity with marketing automation platforms

  • Skills & Qualifications
  • Revenue Operations & Pipeline Management

  • Experience owning lead routing, MQL definitions, and marketing-to-sales handoff processes in a complex B2B environment
  • Familiarity with CRM and marketing automation platforms — Salesforce required; HubSpot, Marketo, or equivalent a plus
  • Track record of managing pipeline health proactively — identifying risks before they become forecast problems
  • GTM Enablement & Cross-Functional Coordination

  • Experience coordinating GTM enablement content across marketing, product, and sales without owning the content directly
  • Strong program management instincts — able to manage a complex GTM calendar with multiple workstreams, dependencies, and stakeholders
  • Proven ability to hold cross-functional teams accountable to deliverables without direct authority
  • Thrives in fast-moving and changing environments — makes judgment calls in real time and drives resolution rather than waiting for clarity
  • SDR & Vendor Management

  • Experience managing an SDR or BDR program — outsourced or in-house — including performance management, KPI setting, and vendor accountability
  • Ability to define and hold vendors to clear activity and pipeline contribution targets
  • Strong understanding of outbound sales motions and how SDR activity connects to pipeline generation and revenue
  • Communication & Executive Presence

  • Comfortable presenting to and influencing Sales Leadership
  • Self-directed with strong organizational skills; manages competing priorities independently and drives work to completion
  • High EQ — able to influence peers and senior leaders, hold teams accountable, and navigate ambiguity without burning relationships

Bonus Points

  • Revenue Operations or GTM Operations at a high-growth B2B or SaaS company — especially where pipeline ownership and cross-functional coordination were combined
  • Sales Operations leader with SDR or BDR program ownership experience
  • Management consulting with a go-to-market or commercial operations focus who has moved into an operating role
  • Marketing Operations or Demand Generation leader who has crossed into sales alignment and pipeline ownership
  • Chief of Staff or GTM Program Management at a senior level in a complex, matrixed B2B environment
  • MBA or advanced degree a plus, but not required

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
