HOW YOU’LL MAKE AN IMPACT
As the Sales Operations Analyst, you'll have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact by supporting the commercial operations of USGBC and GBCI. In this role, you'll transform commercial data and business needs into reliable analysis, actionable insights, and effective Salesforce workflows that support sales efficiency and effectiveness.
You'll support Market Leads, Account Management teams, and leadership with pipeline, forecasting, account coverage, customer retention, expansion, and partner performance reporting. You'll also perform business analysis to define Salesforce requirements, test workflows, and support the adoption of approved commercial processes.
You will support global sales operations across all regions by helping establish consistent reporting practices, improving data quality, and providing accurate commercial insights that enable informed decision-making across markets.
You'll report to the director of sales operations and work closely with regional directors, market leads, account management, client solutions, sales enablement, technology, and finance to support sales success across all global regions and markets.
As an individual contributor within the global sales operations team, you will help standardize commercial data, reporting, and business processes while supporting regional teams with their operational and analytical needs.
Key Responsibilities
- Global commercial reporting and analytics: build and maintain approved reports and dashboards covering sales pipeline, conversion rates, opportunity stage aging, win/loss trends, account coverage, customer retention, expansion, and channel partner contributions. Coordinate with marketing and communications on campaign performance, lead routing, and return-on-investment reporting. Analyze material trends, identify data limitations, and recommend follow-up actions. Support consistent global reporting standards while providing regional and consolidated performance insights to commercial leadership.
- Sales forecasting and commercial planning: prepare forecasting inputs, assumptions, scenarios, and variance analyses to support commercial planning and decision-making. Identify incomplete information, inconsistent opportunity values, and reporting discrepancies. Support territory planning, account coverage, quota and KPI distribution, and workload analysis while maintaining traceability and preserving opportunity owners' accountability for their forecasts. Help consolidate and analyze forecast data across global regions to improve reporting consistency, visibility, and accuracy.
- Data quality, governance, and commercial attribution: monitor and improve data accuracy across salesforce accounts, contacts, opportunities, account hierarchies, required fields, customer and partner relationships, and commercial records. Identify duplicate or incomplete records, coordinate corrections with record owners, and reconcile approved commercial measures with finance to prevent duplicate attribution. Support the implementation and consistent application of global data quality standards, reporting definitions, and commercial attribution practices.
- Salesforce business analysis and requirements documentation: gather and document business requirements, current and proposed workflows, user needs, field definitions, reporting logic, process handoffs, and acceptance criteria. Maintain a prioritized salesforce business-improvement backlog in partnership with the director of sales operations and technology. Collaborate with global stakeholders to identify regional business requirements and support scalable system improvements that align with approved global commercial processes.
- System testing and change implementation: prepare and execute user acceptance testing (UAT), coordinate business testers, document defects, track testing results, and validate whether approved business requirements have been met. Support change readiness and coordinate with authorized technology teams for technical remediation and production deployment. Support cross-regional user testing and implementation readiness to ensure system changes are effective for global commercial teams.
- Salesforce adoption and user support: develop process documentation, job aids, and user guidance to support the effective use of salesforce and approved commercial workflows. Provide targeted system demonstrations, troubleshoot business-process questions, and collaborate with sales enablement on training and reinforcement. Escalate access, security, integration, and technical issues to the appropriate technology teams. Support consistent CRM adoption and user understanding across regions, including teams operating in different time zones.
- Commercial process improvement and standardization: maintain reporting schedules, metric definitions, process documentation, and audit trails. Identify opportunities to improve reporting efficiency, reduce manual work, and strengthen commercial processes through practical automation and process improvements. Protect confidential customer and partner information and operate within approved system permissions. Help develop and maintain standardized global reporting procedures, workflows, and documentation that support consistent commercial operations.
- Cross-functional collaboration and regional support: partner with regional directors, market leads, account managers, finance, technology, marketing, product, client solutions, and sales enablement to resolve reporting issues, clarify commercial workflows, and support operational improvements. Act as a central analytical and business-process resource for global commercial teams, supporting consistent data interpretation, knowledge sharing, and coordination across regions.
- Analytical ownership and quality assurance: independently manage assigned reports, dashboards, data quality checks, business requirements, and testing activities. Select appropriate analytical methods, document findings and limitations, and recommend corrective actions within approved reporting definitions and system permissions. Ensure analytical outputs are accurate, consistent, well-documented, and appropriate for global commercial reporting.
- Issue resolution, recommendations, and escalation: recommend improvements to commercial metrics, salesforce workflows, reporting processes, and system release readiness based on evidence. Escalate unresolved data disputes, system defects, sensitive information concerns, and competing workload priorities. Preserve established decision-making authority, with business owners approving material requirements and authorized technology owners approving system releases. Provide timely analysis and recommendations to support global sales operations leadership in addressing operational challenges and improving performance.
