Why This Role is Exciting
At Optro, we are building a world-class commercial organization with proven leaders from the enterprise technology, SaaS, and audit, risk, and compliance industries, and we believe a thoughtful, data-driven approach to decision-making is the key to driving smart growth.
As the Director of Commercial Strategy & Analytics, you will serve as a key architect of the company’s growth engine, bridging the gap between high-level strategy and operational execution. The core focus of this role is to inform GTM strategy, lead annual commercial planning, and to chart a path for growth that heavily leverages a data-driven foundation.
Key Responsibilities
Strategic Commercial Planning: Drive our go-to-market planning process to ensure we are investing in the right places at the right time. You will establish our go-to-market strategy, sales segmentation, and a robust KPI/scorecard framework.
Data-Driven "Moneyball" Insights & Analytics: Oversee strategy and analytics to provide actionable insights into pipeline health, conversion rates, and rep productivity, turning data into a competitive advantage. You will establish account scoring frameworks and create dynamic propensity-to-buy and Total Addressable Market (TAM) models to help sales teams prioritize the highest-value prospects.
Cross-Functional Alignment: Serve as the connective tissue between Commercial, Operations, Product, and Finance, ensuring that growth initiatives are operationally sound and financially viable.
Operational Excellence & Process Optimization: Understand different SaaS monetization approaches to measure bookings, revenue, and capacity.
Team Leadership: Over time, lead and evolve the strategy and analytics ("Moneyball") team as we scale.
In this role, you will utilize:
Your 8-10+ years of strategy, analytical, and/or operations experience working, ideally in the software / SaaS industry and/or management consulting
Your deep understanding of sales planning (territories and quota setting), sales processes, funnel management, and forecasting
Your “moneyball” mindset: a keen understanding of what it takes to drive growth without breaking the bank and the courage to buck the norms if it gets us to the right answer
Your expert-level proficiency in Excel/GSheet ( can perform complex functions) and Tableau to build model and drive analysis to support GTM strategy
Your analytical and problem-solving skills to frame key strategic questions and structure and execute the analysis from complex data sets to answer those questions
Your empathy and ability to connect with sales leaders, account executives, and other go-to-market leaders to help them achieve big and bold objectives
Your cross-functional leadership skills to bring everyone across the company along
Your sense of humor, because we spend too much time at the job not to have some fun while we are at it
Our Company Values
Customer obsession: It starts and ends here. Consistently ask yourself how what you’re doing creates value for our customers. It’s a mindset.
Gritty resilience: Make it happen. Find a way. Move fast, stay positive, and do what it takes.
