- Lead the AMER forecast process end to end, including cadence, roll-up logic, and snapshot discipline, against the accuracy definition the region is measured on.
- Set the standard for commit criteria, stage definitions, and pipeline hygiene, enforce those standards, diagnose forecast error to root cause, and close recurring gaps.
- Partner with Finance on the link between the sales and financial forecast, including reconciliation, variance explanation, and authoring the forecast narrative for AMER and global leadership.
- Lead the AMER Annual Operating Plan process for sales, including sequencing, inputs, dependencies, leadership decisions, segmentation, territory design, account distribution, quota setting, and coverage and capacity modeling.

- Set priorities and sequence work across the Sales Operations professionals supporting AMER, while maintaining standards for analytical rigor, data integrity, and quality of recommendations.
- Mentor experienced operations professionals, represent AMER in global Sales Operations forums, and bring global standards into the region.
