If you are passionate about using data to drive business results and you are looking for an opportunity with a dynamic, fast-paced organization, this could be a great fit.

• Implement Early Warning Systems: You will actively lead field performance by forecasting attainment monthly and identifying areas for improvement (i.e. pipeline needs, conversion rates, renewal rates, etc). Provide recommendations, as needed, for mid period incentives based on actual / forecasted results.
• Incentive Design: You will develop recommendations that improve the structure and components of compensation plans across all functions within Global Field Ops. You'll also present final recommendations to our Chief Revenue Officer, SVP of WW Sales, Chief Finance Officer, and VP of Finance.
