About the Role: As Director, Project Management - Performance & Reporting, you help Wiley's AI & Data Analytics business unit operate with commercial discipline, pipeline reporting, and consistent executive visibility.
Key Responsibilities
- Commercial Pipeline Visibility & Reporting: Coordinate the end to end pipeline reporting layer for Applied Research Intelligence and Audience Solutions, including weekly pipeline health, forecast accuracy, conversion analytics, and leading indicators of commercial momentum. Work across BU, Revenue Operations (Rev Ops), and Finance reporting to maintain a single source of truth as a service to BU GMs.
- Reporting & Analytics: Provide BU specific data and reporting requirements to help shape information system requirements in Wiley's Shared Services. Own and build analytical models and dashboards that serve as the single source of truth for the BU.
- MBR Preparation: Coordinate the design, drafting, and orchestration of Monthly Business Reviews. Pull together commercial performance into a clear executive narrative.
- QBR Coordination: Act as the BU side coordinator for the centrally run Quarterly Business Review process. Ensure Applied Research Intelligence and Audience Solutions inputs are accurate, on time, and narratively consistent.
- Revenue Operations Liaison: Act as the primary BU side counterpart to Wiley's Shared Services and Rev Ops functions across sales analytics, sales operations, revenue acceleration, sales training, customer success, and onboarding. Channel BU needs into Rev Ops priorities, coordinate BU requirements into central programs, and support BU adoption of central capabilities.
- Cross Functional Coordination: Align with Sales, Finance, Product, Rev Ops and Marketing leadership so that commercial reporting connects coherently to financial reporting, pipeline to product feedback, and demand generation effectiveness.
- Senior Stakeholder Engagement: Work credibly with BU leaders, and central function partners without direct authority.
Required Experience & Qualifications
- Program Management: 6+ years of experience in program and project management, change management, and revenue strategy & operations role.
- Executive Reporting Craft: Demonstrated track record of preparing MBR cycles and contributing to QBR processes for senior leadership.
- Rev Ops Partnership: Experience operating alongside or within a centralized Revenue Operations function across sales analytics, sales operations, sales training, customer success, and onboarding.
- Analytical Rigor: Comfortable interrogating commercial data directly - building models, identifying anomalies, validating assumptions - rather than relying solely on what is handed forward.
- Influence Without Authority: Proven ability to coordinate across commercial, finance, and product stakeholders without direct line authority, through credibility, preparation, and the consistency of the operating standards you uphold.
- Structuring Ambiguity: Comfortable bringing rhythm and structure to a fast moving commercial environment, holding the framework firmly enough to drive discipline and loosely enough to evolve with the business.
Success Metrics - Year 1
- Operating Cadence: Weekly and monthly commercial review cadence is running within 30 days, with documented purpose, agendas, and outputs sustained throughout the year.
- Pipeline Reporting: A trusted, single source pipeline reporting view is in place within 45 days and used by BU leadership, FP&A, and central RevOps as the reference position.
- MBR Quality: MBR materials are consistent in structure, narrative, and analytical depth from cycle one; executive feedback signals improving signal to noise over the year.
- QBR Coordination: BU inputs into the central QBR process are delivered on time, accurate, and narratively aligned across both BUs from the first cycle onward.
- RevOps Integration: A working operating model with central Revenue Operations is documented and adopted within 60 days, with clear hand offs between BU and Rev Ops teams.
