About the Role:
CrowdStrike is looking for a Senior Manager of Sales Operations to serve as the strategic engine for our most elite sales segment. This isn't just about managing dashboards; it’s about architecting the operational framework for a $1B+ ARR business unit.
You will partner directly with Regional Vice Presidents (RVPs) to drive predictable growth, optimize the "Big Deal" ecosystem, and ensure our Strategic Account Executives have the data-driven insights they need to win. You are the bridge between high-level corporate strategy and ground-level execution.
What You'll Do:
Strategic Advisory: Act as the trusted advisor to Strategics RVPs and sales leadership. Translate complex sales data into actionable insights that influence territory planning, resource allocation, and white-space analysis.
The "Big Deal" Engine: Manage the operational lifecycle of our largest, multi-year enterprise deals. Facilitate deal reviews, ensure pricing integrity, and partner with Legal/Finance to remove friction from the closing process.
Predictive Forecasting: Own the weekly, monthly, and quarterly forecast cadence for the Strategics segment. High accuracy is non-negotiable here—you’ll identify risks and upsides before they hit the radar.
Territory & Quota Management: Design and optimize territories for the top 200 accounts. Ensure distribution and alignment with CrowdStrike’s long-term land-and-expand goals.
Process Engineering: Identify bottlenecks in the sales tech stack (Salesforce, Clari, etc.) and build scalable solutions that reduce administrative burden for the field.
Cross-Functional Leadership: Work in lockstep with Marketing, Customer Success, and Finance to ensure a unified GTM motion for our most valuable customers.
Who You Are:
The Strategist: You understand that the Strategics segment operates differently than Commercial or Mid-Market. You excel at navigating the complexity of 7 and 8-figure deals.
The Data Storyteller: You don't just export reports; you find the "so what?" in the numbers.
The Diplomat: You can challenge a Senior RVP’s forecast with grace, backed by data and a deep understanding of the business.
The Builder: You thrive in high-growth environments where you often have to build the car while driving it.
What You'll Need:
Domain Expertise: Experience with executive stakeholder management with outstanding communication and presentation skills.
Technical Proficiency: Expert-level Salesforce, Excel and G-suite skills. Proficiency with Clari and Tableau a plus.
Financial Acumen: Strong understanding of ARR, NRR, churn and contraction, and complex contract structures.
Education & Experience:
BA/BS or equivalent educational background is preferred.
Minimum 12+ years of relevant professional experience.
