Track essential SaaS metrics (NRR/GRR, sales capacity, AE productivity, CAC Payback, LTV:CAC) and share insights with senior leadership. Contribute to commission plan modeling and quota design.
• Performance Management: Build and refine monthly and quarterly KPI packs, management updates, and board materials. Partner with GTM teams to manage budgets, analyze variances, and support action plans.
