As a Senior Sales Analyst, you will lead our sales forecasting activities by gathering and analyzing data, identifying trends, and providing consolidated input for demand planning and S&OP processes. You will be responsible for producing monthly business analyses on bookings, pipeline development, and commercial performance, helping sales leadership understand what is happening in the business and why. In addition, you will own CRM data quality, ensuring that our sales data remains reliable, actionable, and aligned with business needs. You will proactively identify opportunities to improve sales processes, recommend development initiatives, and collaborate with stakeholders across functions to implement improvements.
