Head of Business Excellence and Revenue Operations
Role Overview
We are hiring a Head of Revenue Operations to architect and scale an automation-first revenue engine that powers NxtWave’s next phase of growth.
This is a systems design mandate and not just a reporting function.
You will own the complete lead-to-enrollment infrastructure across Marketing, Sales, and Business. Your focus will be improving conversion, eliminating inefficiencies, redesigning CRM architecture, and building a scalable operating system that enables revenue growth without proportional cost expansion.
You must think in funnel economics, system leverage, and long-term scalability and not just process execution.
Mission
Design and scale a fully integrated revenue infrastructure that:
- Improves lead-to-enrollment conversion
- Reduces operational inefficiencies and cost per lead
- Minimizes manual dependencies through automation
- Enables real-time, data-driven decision making
- Scales revenue sustainably
What You Will Own
Funnel & Conversion Excellence
- Improve end-to-end lead lifecycle performance
- Strengthen MQL → SQL → Enrollment transitions
- Reduce response delays and funnel leakage
- Standardize lifecycle definitions across Marketing and Sales
- Create clear ownership across every funnel stage
You will re-architect the funnel and not just optimize within it.
Automation & Operational Efficiency
- Drive significant automation across lead handling workflows
- Reduce dependency on manual lead assignment
- Implement intelligent lead scoring and prioritization
- Improve revenue efficiency through process redesign
You will replace manual friction with scalable systems.
CRM & Revenue Systems Architecture
- Redesign CRM structure for clarity, governance, and scale
- Build API-led integrations across revenue tools
- Eliminate redundant tools and optimize technology stack
- Ensure high standards of CRM data accuracy and hygiene
This role requires rebuilding systems where necessary — not maintaining legacy structures.
Analytics & Decision Intelligence
- Build real-time revenue dashboards used by Sales and Leadership
- Establish a single source of truth for revenue reporting
- Introduce structured experimentation across funnel stages
- Improve forecasting reliability and attribution clarity
Shift the organization from reactive reporting to predictive decision-making.
Organizational Capability
- Reduce reliance on ad-hoc founder or leadership intervention
- Implement SLA governance across CRM, lead operations, and communication systems
- Build strong second-line leaders across Systems, Funnel Operations, and Automation
You are building both the engine and the operators who run it.
