Description

We are looking for a highly curious, analytically grounded, and execution-oriented Senior Manager to help assess and evolve the global Success Plans go-to-market motion. This is a high-impact role sitting at the intersection of strategy, analytics, and field operations - with a mandate to understand the business is performing and identify new paths to growth.

You will partner closely with the our Strategy & Analytics team to diagnose gaps in our current GTM, explore emerging distribution models (such as reseller agreements, channel sales, and partner-led motions), and shape the strategic initiatives that will define how Success Plans scales in a decentralized world. This role requires someone who can think broadly, dive deep into data, and translate ambiguous opportunity spaces into clear, actionable strategies.

What You'll Do

GTM Assessment & Gap Analysis

  • Conduct structured assessments of the current Success Plans GTM motion across regions, segments, and distribution channels to surface performance gaps and untapped opportunity.

  • Partner with the Strategy & Analytics team to leverage data, field insights, and benchmarks to build a clear picture of where and why the business is growing — or not.

  • Design and launch pilots for new GTM motions — reseller agreements, channel sales, partner-led distribution, and others — with clear hypotheses, success metrics, and learning plans built in.

  • Develop the foundational playbooks, frameworks, and partnership structures that will enable these motions to scale globally once validated.

  • Develop findings into clear, executive-ready recommendations that inform prioritization and investment decisions.

New Motion Exploration & Strategic Initiatives

  • Research and evaluate new GTM motions including reseller agreements, channel sales, partner-led models, and other emerging distribution strategies.

  • Build business cases for new initiatives, including market sizing, feasibility analysis, risk assessment, and go-to-market sequencing.

  • Serve as an internal thought leader connecting external market trends to the Success Plans offer and distribution model.

Cross-Functional GTM Collaboration

  • Partner with Offer Management, Distribution, Enablement, and Operations teams to pressure-test ideas and ensure proposed initiatives can be operationalized at scale.

  • Represent the CoE in cross-functional workstreams related to GTM innovation and partner strategy.

  • Contribute to the global GTM planning process, ensuring new motions are incorporated into the annual strategy cycle.

Qualifications

  • 6+ years of experience in strategy, operations, business development, or go-to-market roles within enterprise SaaS or cloud organizations.

  • Strong analytical mindset — able to structure ambiguous problems, synthesize disparate data sources, and generate clear, actionable insights.

  • Experience evaluating new market opportunities, partnership models, or distribution channels.

  • Excellent communicator with the ability to distill complex findings into concise narratives for senior audiences.

  • Comfortable operating in a fast-moving, matrixed organization with a high degree of ambiguity.

  • Demonstrated ability to build cross-functional relationships and drive alignment across stakeholders.

Preferred

  • Familiarity with Salesforce's Success Plans portfolio and go-to-market structure.

  • Background in channel sales, partner strategy, or indirect GTM motions.

  • Experience working in or adjacent to Customer Success, Revenue Operations, or Offer Management.

What Makes You Successful

  • Intellectually curious with a bias toward finding root causes, not just surface-level answers

  • Entrepreneurial spirit — you see whitespace as opportunity, not ambiguity

  • Collaborative by default, with strong instincts for when to move fast vs. build consensus

  • Equally comfortable in a spreadsheet and an executive meeting
