About Sayari

Position Overview

Sayari sells to Fortune 500 enterprises and government agencies across the Americas, EMEA, and APAC. With new pricing models, named-account coverage supported by embedded engineers, and two buying motions that buy differently, sales operations owns the planning and operating infrastructure underneath all of it.

You own territory and quota administration, the weekly forecast and pipeline cadence, compensation operations, and the performance reporting sales leaders manage from. It is a non-quota, internal-facing role working across Sales, Finance, Enablement, and People.

Much of that operating layer is being written for the first time. Territory, quota, forecast, and compensation practice all have to hold across a commercial motion and a government motion at once, against a product line and a price book that are still moving. Revenue Operations builds its own internal applications and runs AI against its own revenue data; this seat uses that stack and adds to it.

Turn the coverage plan from GTM Strategy & Planning into territories and quotas: cut the lines between territories, balance them, handle exceptions and holdovers, work with managers on final quota adjustments and territory plans, and keep the Salesforce records current through mid-year moves and the annual reset.
Hold data discipline in the CRM: opportunity hygiene, stage and close-date accuracy, product and trial tracking, and the deal record. Escalate what reporting alone does not resolve.
Publish and hold the operating calendar: forecast, compensation, quota, territory, and business review dates, with owners against each.
Bring new products and pricing models into the operating layer as they ship: quota treatment, crediting, and reporting that reflect what is actually being sold.
Build and lead the Sales Operations team: hire the Manager, Sales Compensation Operations, set clear expectations and…
