  • Act as a trusted proxy for the Regional Sales Leader. Represent APAC GTM priorities in executive reviews, steering committees, and day‑to‑day decision‑making when the leader is unavailable.
  • Lead & grow the team. Inspire a distributed group of sales‑ops professionals across Australia, Japan, India, and Singapore—modeling our values to lead with exceptional customer service, deliver the simplest solution, show pride in our work, and care for each other.
What you’ll bring
  • 10+ years in GTM/Sales Operations within high‑growth SaaS, including 5+ years managing multi‑country teams.
  • Demonstrated experience leveraging AI and large language models (LLMs) in business processes to drive scale and efficiency.
  • Demonstrated success owning end‑to‑end territory & quota design, sales compensation, and forecast governance for >$300 M ARR business.
  • Expertise with Salesforce, Clari (or equivalent), Tableau/Looker, and advanced Excel/SQL; Anaplan a plus.
  • Strategic mindset balanced with a bias for action—you synthesize complex data into clear choices, then drive execution.
  • Executive‑level communication skills and a knack for influencing cross‑functional partners.
  • Passion for coaching diverse talent and fostering an inclusive, psychologically safe culture.

Yet, the thousands of people working in the city's healthtech sector are just getting started, to say nothing of the tech advancements across all other sectors.
