  • Lead a comprehensive assessment of the current CRM state and develop a prioritized 30/60/90-day roadmap for remediation, optimization, and long-term scalability including any integration of existing tools and systems required
  • Design and enforce data governance standards including rules for contact and company data quality, deduplication, ownership attribution, and lifecycle management across tens of thousands of records
  • Implement preventive controls, validation rules, and automated workflows to sustain data quality and prevent regression over time
  • Build and maintain CRM health metrics and dashboards that provide ongoing visibility into data integrity and system performance
  • Develop and execute a systematic approach to cleaning, validating, and standardizing company and contact records at scale
  • Define and implement governance policies that enforce data consistency across teams, including rules for record creation, field population, lifecycle transitions, and ownership
  • Establish a framework of data quality KPIs — including duplicate rates, field completion, stage accuracy, and ownership coverage — and report on them regularly
  • Partner with Sales, Marketing, and IRR to build habits and accountability structures that sustain clean data over time
  • Operationalize nuanced territory segmentation and account assignment rules within HubSpot, replacing inconsistent manual processes with automated, auditable workflows
  • Partner with Sales and Marketing leadership to define segmentation logic, ownership criteria, and routing rules; document assumptions and maintain them as the business evolves
  • Build account assignment and routing automations that reduce manual effort, improve consistency, and support accurate attribution across the commercial funnel
  • Maintain clear, accessible documentation of all territory and segmentation frameworks across teams
  • Design a data orchestration strategy that connects HubSpot, SendGrid, Mixpanel, Looker, Clerk, and UserPilot to provide the Growth organization with a coherent, actionable view of customer behavior and commercial performance
  • Define a pragmatic path to a single source of truth for commercial metrics, accounting for the current absence of centralized data infrastructure and near-term IT constraints
  • Enable Marketing to experiment and optimize communications based on behavioral, engagement, and lifecycle data drawn from across the stack
  • Surface actionable intelligence across targeting, conversion, retention, and expansion opportunities to support data-driven growth decisions
  • Build the operational connective tissue between Sales Hub and Marketing Hub to improve attribution, funnel visibility, and cross-functional handoff workflows
  • Design and implement shared lifecycle stages, lead routing logic, and SLA frameworks that align Sales, Marketing, and IRR around a common view of the customer journey
  • Drive operational cohesion across the Growth organization through consistent processes, shared metrics, and integrated tooling
  • Leverage Marketing Hub as a platform for delivering a holistic view of commercial performance, customer engagement, and pipeline health
  • Build ARR, GRR, and NRR reporting frameworks within HubSpot, transitioning performance reporting from gross contract value metrics to recurring revenue-based views
  • Partner with Finance to align on definitions, reconcile reporting discrepancies, and establish HubSpot as the trusted source of commercial truth
  • Design leadership dashboards that provide real-time visibility into pipeline, forecast, and recurring revenue KPIs
  • Define and socialize the core commercial KPI framework — including leading and lagging indicators — to support consistent decision-making across functions
  • Develop and execute a change management strategy for CRM process improvements that balances implementation speed with operational integrity
  • Build enablement materials, training programs, and process documentation that support consistent CRM usage and adoption across Sales, Marketing, and IRR
  • Communicate roadmap priorities, initiative progress, and operational outcomes clearly to leadership — positioning Growth Operations as a strategic, trusted partner
  • Establish feedback loops with commercial teams to continuously refine processes and tooling based on real-world usage

Skills

  • 8+ years of experience in Revenue Operations, Growth Operations, Sales Operations, or a related field, with at least 2–3 years in a leadership or senior individual contributor capacity
  • Deep, hands-on expertise in HubSpot (Sales Hub and Marketing Hub) — including architecture, administration, workflow design, lifecycle management, and reporting
  • Demonstrated experience designing data orchestration strategies across multi-platform commercial stacks (e.g., Mixpanel, Looker, SendGrid, Clerk, UserPilot, or similar)
  • Proven track record of driving CRM transformation and organizational adoption in fast-moving, commercially oriented environments
  • Experience building ARR/MRR/GRR/NRR reporting frameworks and partnering with Finance to establish CRM data as a financial source of truth
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a high degree of precision, structured thinking, and attention to detail
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills — able to translate complex operational systems into clear priorities and narratives for cross-functional leadership
  • Comfortable leading change management across Sales, Marketing, and Customer Success teams in a high-autonomy, fast-paced environment
