Role summary

We are hiring a Principal Program Manager to run global programs for our SDR (Sales Development) and ISR (Inside Sales Rep) teams. This role drives outcomes across productivity, pipeline quality, hygiene, win rate, NAAR, retention, and expansion by building a strong operating rhythm, using data to spot issues early, and ensuring teams execute consistently. You may not have direct reporting lines, but you will lead through influence and partner closely with Sales Leadership, RevOps, Enablement, Marketing, Customer Success/Renewals, Finance, and Systems teams.

Key outcomes you will drive

Productivity: activity effectiveness, meetings created, pipeline generated, ramp speed
Hygiene: CRM/data discipline, stage accuracy, clean handoffs and follow-ups
Quality: better qualification, better account/persona targeting, higher quality pipeline
Win rate: improved conversion through the funnel and better deal outcomes
NAAR: focus on opportunities that drive higher revenue impact
Retention: fewer churn risks through early signals and strong renewal execution
Expansion: stronger upsell/cross-sell pipeline and execution in existing accounts

Global programs (SDR and ISR)

Design and run global programs that improve productivity, quality, hygiene, win rate, and NAAR outcomes.
Set simple standards and targets by region/segment and drive weekly follow-through across time zones.
Create playbooks that make execution consistent (account selection, persona targeting, messaging, qualification, and handoffs).

Retention and expansion programs (ISR focus)

Build programs that improve renewals, retention, and expansion outcomes (upsell and cross-sell).
Create simple ways to track renewal health and identify churn risk early (low adoption, unresolved issues, sponsor change, engagement drop).
Drive consistent cadences for renewal forecasting and expansion pipeline, with clear action plans and owners.
Partner with Customer Success and Renewals teams to improve handoffs, coverage, and account planning.

Operating rhythm and executive governance

Run weekly/monthly cadences: productivity reviews, hygiene reviews, quality reviews, win rate reviews, and renewal/expansion reviews.
Create clear dashboards and short weekly readouts for senior leaders: what changed, why it changed, and what actions are needed.
Drive accountability by tracking actions, deadlines, and measurable outcomes.

Analytics, reporting, process, and tools

Build and maintain trusted reporting using Excel/Google Sheets and dashboards; SQL/BI (Tableau/Power BI) is a plus.
Strengthen the basics: CRM hygiene, funnel definitions, stage discipline, attribution, and forecasting inputs.
Partner with Systems/RevOps teams to improve tool adoption and workflow efficiency (e.g., Salesforce, Outreach/Salesloft, Gong, ZoomInfo).
Use data to identify where the funnel breaks and drive targeted enablement with leaders (messaging, discovery, objection handling, deal coaching).

Cross-functional leadership (drive without authority)

Align SDR/ISR leaders, AEs, Customer Success, Renewals, Marketing, Enablement, and RevOps on shared goals and execution plans.
Remove blockers, drive decisions, and ensure teams adopt the programs and standards.
Communicate clearly and confidently with senior stakeholders across regions.

Required qualifications

15+ years of experience, including meaningful experience in SaaS sales.
Must have been an SDR and/or AE earlier in your career (quota-carrying experience required).
Proven experience leading global sales programs that drive measurable outcomes (productivity, hygiene, quality, win rate, NAAR impact).
Experience with existing-business motions: renewals, retention, and expansion (upsell and cross-sell).
Strong analytical capability and comfort with funnel analysis and executive-ready reporting.
Strong understanding of RevOps-level fundamentals: process rigor, definitions, hygiene, forecasting inputs, and operating cadence (title not required).
Strong executive communication and ability to influence leaders across geographies and time zones.
