  • Use data and insights to diagnose performance, identify bottlenecks, and prioritize initiatives that increase win rates, improve cycle times, and drive productivity
  • Foster a positive, inclusive, and high-performance culture that reflects Plaid’s Principles and supports growth, experimentation, and continuous improvement

Requirements:

  • Demonstrated success managing front-line managers and/or multiple sales teams, with clear examples of hiring, developing, and retaining top talent
  • Proven track record of owning and delivering against multi‑team revenue targets, including both new customer acquisition and expansion
  • Deep experience running a rigorous sales operating cadence (forecasting, pipeline management, QBRs) and using data to make decisions
  • Strong cross-functional leadership skills with experience partnering with Marketing, Product, Partnerships, and Finance to drive segment strategy
  • Excellent communication and executive presence, with the ability to influence across levels and functions
