Our opportunity:
Reporting to the VP of Business Operations in the COO organization, the Sr Director of Pipeline Growth and Efficiency is the connective tissue across every revenue-generating team—Sales, Channel, SDR, and Marketing. You own the health of the pipeline engine end to end: diagnosing bottlenecks, running the operating cadences, and leading the interventions that make pipeline more predictable and efficient at every stage of the funnel.

This role wins through influence, not authority. You will not own these teams, but you will be accountable for the number they collectively produce—so the ability to drive outcomes across functions you don't control is the job.

• Hold pipeline coverage at or above target (e.g., ≥3x) every quarter, with a defensible forecast within ±10% accuracy
• Improve at least two efficiency metrics (CAC, pipeline velocity, opportunity conversion, or LTV/CAC) with a measurable, sustained trend
• Effectively diagnose bottlenecks and align stakeholder and teams to resolve
• Drive the operating cadence (pipeline councils, forecast reviews, funnel inspections) that keeps every GTM team aligned to the AOP

This role will report to the VP of Business Operations in the COO organization.

Hybrid role with regular onsite workdays in our San Jose, CA office required.

You will make an impact by being responsible for:
Predictable pipeline and revenue Forecasting pipeline performance and present results—and the story behind them—to executive leadership Continuously improving efficiency metrics: CAC, pipeline velocity, opportunity creation and conversion, and ROI Partnering with Sales Ops, Channel Ops, and Marketing Ops to keep data quality, lead scoring, routing, and lifecycle processes healthy enough to trust Driving a culture of experimentation, testing, and continuous optimization Cross-functional alignment Serving as the strategic partner tying together Sales, Channel, Marketing, Customer Success, and Finance, around one pipeline plan Defining and owning best-in-class measurement and attribution frameworks the whole GTM org runs on Aligning pipeline-generation efforts to go-to-market priorities and revenue targets, and help shape market expansion and segmentation
