Role Overview

Set the lens through which we see the future of our business. You will design and run Fluence’s global forecasting and pipeline engine so that leadership has a sharp, forward-looking view of bookings, risk, and upside across all regions. This role focuses on how we inspect, challenge, and decide: you’ll shape the forecast methodology, lead the inspection rhythm with sales leaders, and turn trends in the pipeline into concrete actions. You own the single source of truth for our pipeline, driving financial forecasting, and informing crucial decisions in our supply chain. Your impact emerges into broader sales strategy and analytics, using what you see in the forecast to influence where we bet, how we course-correct, and which plays we scale.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the sales operating cadence: Regular pipeline/forecast reviews, management check-ins, and MBRs.
• Monitor coverage, conversion, velocity, and win rates; translate findings into clear narratives and recommendations for sales leaders and executives.
• Lead deep dives on segments, products, and markets to inform coverage, prioritization, and GTM strategy.
• Own the single source of truth for our pipeline, to drive financial forecasting, inform procurement decisions, or prioritize product developments.
• Translate process and methodology changes into CRM requirements (fields, validations, automations, dashboards) together with CX Engineering / IT.
• Coach sales leaders and sellers on opportunity management and forecast quality; challenge assumptions and highlight risks/opportunities early.
• Contribute to the evolution of the sales operating model (e.g., territories, roles, performance metrics) using insights from pipeline and forecast data.
• Sponsor cross-functional projects to enhance forecasting tools, playbooks, and ways of working across regions.

Required Qualifications And Experience

• 5+ years in B2B Sales Operations/RevOps or FP&A with hands-on forecasting & pipeline governance.
• Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent undergraduate qualification) - Engineering, Economics, Natural Sciences, or related analytical fields preferred.
• Strong command of Salesforce reporting, BI tools, and analytics.
• Excellent facilitation and storytelling - from executive reviews to sales coaching.
