SUMMARY
The Head of Revenue Operations at Finalsite is responsible for building the operating system that enables Finalsite’s revenue organization to plan, execute, measure and improve performance across the full customer lifecycle - from initial demand through acquisition, expansion, renewal, adoption and retention. Operating across Sales, Marketing, Client Success, and Finance, this leader establishes and maintains a single, trusted view of the revenue performance and translates it into the metrics, forecasts, and insights that drive executive and Board-level decision-making. This leader brings an objective, enterprise-wide perspective to cross-functional decisions, using quantitative and qualitative insights to recommend a clear path forward and drive accountability.
The role blends strategic thought partnership with hands-on operational rigor: translating company goals into actionable revenue plans, proactively identifying key unlocks and future challenges in the data, designing processes that stakeholders actually adopt, directing the revenue tech stack (including AI and automation strategy), and leading a lean, high-leverage team. Success is measured by forecast accuracy, funnel efficiency, data trust, cross-functional adoption, and a tech stack that becomes more integrated, automated, effective and cost-efficient over time.
