Head of Revenue Operations

Hightouch Hightouch · Data AI · New York, NY · Finance / Data / Operations

This role is for a Head of Revenue Operations at Hightouch, an AI platform company for marketing and growth teams. The role focuses on driving performance in the GTM organization by owning pipeline analysis, territory management, and compensation plans. It requires a seasoned leader who can iterate quickly and make data-driven decisions in a high-growth environment.

What you'd actually do

  1. Drive fast, data-driven decision-making with sales leadership and the executive team. Surface insights by having a point of view and pressure-testing it quickly with data.
  2. Own pipeline and funnel analysis with a bias toward action. Identify anything broken, deeply understand it, propose a fix, ship it, learn from it, repeat. We move in days, not quarters.
  3. Lead territory management as a living system. Continuously reassess coverage and help us read market signals to tweak our ICP and messaging.
  4. Design and implement compensation plans that shape behavior. Align plans with company strategy, build buy-in, and deploy at scale.
  5. Connect dots across marketing, finance, pre-sales, post-sales, and the exec team. RevOps at Hightouch is a vital connective function – your ability to surface information and collaborate across these groups will make you indispensable.
