From first touch through to renewal and expansion, you’ll help ensure every stage of the customer and client journey is well understood, measurable, and continually improving. Working closely with the CFO, CRO, VP Marketing, and VP Operations, you’ll help improve forecast confidence, spot and fix friction in our funnels, and support smarter, faster decision-making across the business. Success in this role isn’t just about dashboards or systems - it’s about creating clarity, consistency, and momentum, so our teams can do their best work and Perkbox can continue to grow with confidence.

  • Develop real-time dashboards for pipeline health, forecast accuracy, conversion rates, churn, and expansion metrics, CAC, LTV and TAM
  • Lead quarterly business reviews focused on actionable insights
  • Identify and address revenue leakage and funnel inefficiencies through process, product, or technology improvements
  • Partner with GTM leadership to define the buyer and standardise sales processes
  • Enable Marketing, Sales, and CS teams with data-driven insights, and ensure clear visibility into customer health, upsell opportunities, and renewal risk across the lifecycle
  • Act as a strategic bridge between GTM, SysOps, Finance, and Product teams to align goals, unify reporting
  • Drive alignment between sales, onboarding and client success on handovers, SLAs, and expansion plays
  • Influence product roadmap with customer and revenue data insights

Requirements:

  • Commercial Acumen – deeply understands SaaS unit economics (CAC, LTV, NRR, payback, sales efficiency) and can translate data into revenue strategy
  • Systems Thinking – sees how marketing, sales, CS, product, and finance interconnect
  • designs scalable processes and tech architecture across them
  • Analytical & Data Mastery – expert at building reliable reporting, diagnosing funnel performance, and driving insight-led conversations and decisions
  • Operational Excellence – skilled in process design, automation with tools, and cross-functional execution that improves efficiency and consistency
  • Influence & Communication – able to align GTM, Finance, and Product leaders through data storytelling and stakeholder management
