About The Role
We're looking for a highly strategic, analytical, and hands-on Sales Operations Leader to build our APAC Retail Sales Ops function. This is a critical role that will partner closely with local GMs, Sales Leaders, Finance, and cross-functional teams to optimise how we plan, operate, and grow across ANZ, Japan, and Taiwan.
You'll thrive in this role if you enjoy rolling up your sleeves to build from the ground up, but also have the presence and experience to influence senior stakeholders. The ideal candidate will combine commercial acumen, data-driven decision-making, and operational discipline to ensure our sales organisation is set up to win.
Your Impact in Role
- Design the Blueprint for Growth: Lead the development of territory plans, account assignments, and resourcing strategies that are tailored to the unique needs of ANZ, Japan, and Taiwan. You'll determine how best to deploy our commercial resources and make data-driven decisions on where we invest next.

You'll streamline processes to ensure we're moving fast, staying lean, and delivering impact.
- Shape the Future Sales Ops Org: As Retail grows, so will your team. You'll define the hiring roadmap, set the culture, and lead the development of a high-performing APAC Sales Ops function that aligns closely with the business and delivers outsized value.
- Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Sit at the intersection of Sales, Finance, Enablement, Strategy, and Marketing - aligning teams on shared goals and ensuring a seamless customer and seller experience. You'll play a critical role in unblocking bottlenecks and scaling best practices across the region.
- Drive Innovation through Experimentation: Test new ways of working, optimise existing playbooks, and run experiments to drive commercial performance. Whether it's a new quota model, segmentation strategy, or sales incentive, your work will directly contribute to how we evolve and grow.
