The Business Strategy & Operations organization provides business critical insights using analytics, ensures cross functional alignment of goals and execution, and helps teams drive strategic partnerships and new initiatives forward. We stay focused on aligning the highest-level company priorities with effective day-to-day operations, and help evolve early stage ideas into future-growth initiatives.

You should enjoy operating in ambiguity, and be a creative and business savvy thinker who can leverage your business sense, cloud knowledge, and analytical ability to help prioritize sales activities and initiatives, and credibly drive impact with our field sellers.
