B2BAnalyticsVisualisationSaaSData Analysis

Company mission

To unite data, no matter where it lives, and empower its users to analyze, take action, and make smart decisions.

Role

Who you are

  • 7 years of experience in strategy and operations, consulting, enterprise technology sales/strategy, or a similar role
  • Demonstrated track record of strategic thinking and analysis--seeing over the horizon to identify opportunities, envision models, and strategic paths to capture opportunities, as well as spot emerging risks
  • Strong modeling and analytical skills – comfort with complex segmentation analysis and workforce planning
  • Excellent communication skills with executive audiences - explain “what it is”, “why it matters” and “what should we do” in terms of your data and analysis
  • Experience in a Sales or GTM organization, and familiarity with common sales methodologies (MEDDPICC or MEDDIC) and models ( rep productivity, rep capacity, campaign influence, and quota modeling)
  • High comfort with ambiguity. You identify the right priorities and put in the hard work without need for external motivation
  • You think critically and creatively, continually reorienting to obstacles to define a better way to achieve our goals

Desirable

  • Previous experience in open source
  • Experience with Grafana, Tableau or other analysis/BI tools
  • Familiarity with Salesforce CPQ, Zuora, or other CPQ / Q2C / subscription management tools
  • Familiarity with marketing automation (Marketo) or sales productivity tools (Outreach, Clari, People.ai)
  • Familiarity with SQL or similar database querying language (you won’t be deep in SQL, but helps to have heard of a LEFT JOIN)

What the job involves

  • Reporting to our VP of Revenue Operations, you will work with a cross-functional team of stakeholders to define growth strategies, provide insights to business performance, and set the standard for data- driven decision making in GTM
  • To be successful, you will be able to operate in an unstructured, fast paced environment as you help build the foundations for our future growth
  • Establish standard reports and tools to analyze business performance, help set operational targets, and drive planning processes with the Go-To-Market Operations team
  • Evaluate changes to our GTM organization: roles, targets, capacity planning
  • Work with Global and Regional Sales and Services leaders to evaluate strategic opportunities and/or transformational initiatives; New market evaluation, M&A integration, vertical planning, pricing, etc
  • Become an expert in how our GTM data is captured, how it ties to underlying business processes, and how it impacts key metrics and reports
  • Identify operational gaps in our reporting capabilities and/or inefficiencies in the planning process. Work with Analytics and Business Systems teams to build scalable solutions
  • Help create the connective tissue across our internal stakeholders: Revenue Operations, Marketing, Finance, Data, and GTM leadership

Our take

Observability plays a crucial role in software development, where dashboards are pivotal for monitoring the health of IT infrastructure across an organization. However, for developers, the frustration of spending unnecessary time navigating between different dashboards to find the latest information detracts from valuable programming time.

Grafana collaborates closely with its clients to create customizable observability platforms, striving to enhance efficiency in observability. Its offerings include cloud-based data structures, dashboards, API plugins, and collaboration tools. Currently, FGrafana boasts over 21M active instances and approximately 10M users globally, with a customer base exceeding 2,000, including prominent names like Bloomberg, PJ Morgan Chase, eBay, PayPal, and Sony.

While Grafana provides free plans with a simplified tool package, the Grafana Enterprise Stack offers customized observability solutions on a monthly subscription basis. The company's ongoing strategy revolves around continually improving Grafana to meet users' demands, enhancing functionality with each iteration, and fostering community engagement by enabling users to share their Grafana dashboards with the broader open-source community.
