You'll report to the Chief Revenue Officer and serve as a strategic partner to executive leadership on revenue optimization.\n\n\n\n\n\nYour Responsibilities\n\n\n\nStrategic Planning & Alignment\n\n - Partner with Sales, Marketing, and CX leadership to build one cohesive revenue operations and enablement strategy.\n\n - Own enablement programming — training, content, accountability — that drives consistent rep performance.\n\n - Drive alignment on goals, KPIs, and metrics across all GTM teams.\n\nAI-First Operations & Enablement\n\n - Default to AI-assisted workflows before manual ones across forecasting, reporting, content generation, and coaching — using tools like Ashby, Clay, and Claude — rather than applying AI to existing process as an afterthought.\n\n - Identify what should be fully automated versus what stays human-only, and shift your team's time toward the latter: strategy, judgment, cross-functional partnership.\n\n - Build, test, and iterate on new AI tools and workflows continuously; share what works with the broader RevOps org rather than treating adoption as a one-time rollout.\n\n - Tie AI usage to measurable outcomes — time saved, output increased, cost reduced, pipeline or retention impact — not adoption for its own sake.\n\nTeam Leadership & Development\n\n - Lead and develop an established team of senior RevOps and Enablement professionals, raising the bar on an already-capable function rather than building one from scratch.\n\n - As a people leader, you're directly accountable for driving AI adoption within your team — this includes hiring for AI-native thinking and proficiency, and building goals that incorporate AI-driven improvements into individual and team performance.\n\n - Build enablement and L&D programs that raise team capability, including growing your team's own AI fluency over time.\n\nSystems & Tools\n\n - Own evaluation, implementation, and management of the revenue tech stack (CRM, marketing automation, CS platforms, analytics, AI/automation layers).\n\n - Ensure system integration and automation for clean, synchronized data across teams.\n\n - Manage vendor and partner relationships, delegating day-to-day tool ownership to your team as appropriate.\n\nData, Reporting & Analytics\n\n - Own end-to-end GTM reporting: pipeline forecasting, conversion rates, churn, upsell/cross-sell performance.\n\n - Establish a single source of truth for revenue data across CRM, marketing automation, and CS platforms.\n\n - Use AI-assisted analysis to turn performance data into faster, sharper recommendations for senior leadership.\n\nProcess Optimization\n\n - Design and optimize scalable processes across Sales, Marketing, and CS — lead handoff, onboarding, expansion.\n\n - Eliminate unnecessary steps and manual effort by default; automate rather than merely streamline.\n\n - Standardize execution of revenue-driving campaigns: lead gen, nurture, retention.\n\nForecasting & Revenue Growth\n\n - Own and refine revenue forecasting in partnership with sales leadership.\n\n - Flag pipeline risks and opportunities in real time; recommend growth strategies grounded in data.\n\nCross-Functional Collaboration\n\n - Drive productive, measurable collaboration and decisioning across Sales, Marketing, CX, and Finance.\n\n - Serve as strategic advisor to the Chief Revenue Officer on revenue optimization.\n   \n   \n\nYour Qualifications\n\n - 10+ years in revenue operations, sales operations, or GTM operations, with a track record of scaling B2B SaaS organizations through high-growth stages.\n\n - 3+ years leading and developing senior, established RevOps/Enablement talent — not building a team from zero, but raising the bar on an experienced one.\n\n - Proven track record redesigning workflows around AI/LLM-powered automation — evaluated at an Advanced (Driver) level or above: you've introduced new ways of working, helped others adopt AI, and delivered team-level impact from it.\n\n - Hands-on experience with core revenue tech stack: CRM (Salesforce, HubSpot), sales engagement (Outreach), conversation intelligence (Gong), and fluency in AI-assisted analytics/automation platforms.\n\n - Strong analytical skills — able to turn complex data into a clear, actionable narrative for executive audiences.\n\n - Excellent cross-functional leadership and communication skills.\n\n - High ownership, high accountability, comfortable in a fast-paced startup environment with aggressive growth targets.\n\nHIPAA Compliance\n\nAll roles at Kustomer may involve handling sensitive personal data.\n\n\n\nBenefits\n\nKustomer offers an array of benefits including competitive salaries and stock options. In the U.S. we offer 100% healthcare coverage, 401K, WiFi and Mobile reimbursement, and a generous vacation policy; in the UK we also offer pension, supplemental health insurance and other perks.\n\n\n\nDiversity & Inclusion at Kustomer\n\nKustomer is committed to bringing together individuals from different backgrounds and perspectives.\n\nWe strive to create an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive, feel a sense of belonging, and do great work together.We are proud to be an equal opportunity employer open to all qualified applicants regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender identity or expression, Veteran status, or any other legally protected status.\n\nCandidate Privacy Notice https://www.kustomer.com/privacy/candidate-statement/\n\nAs a job applicant, you have the right to know and understand the categories of personal information we collect about you, and the purposes for which we use such personal information.\n\nDisclaimer: Kustomer only contacts candidates from company email addresses ending in kustomer.com and does not seek funds from candidates in any circumstances.\n\n"},{"id":"83a69655-d45d-40a1-a78d-3cef7c429e97","title":"Business Development Manager","department":"Marketing","team":"Business Development","employmentType":"FullTime","location":"US - New York, NY","secondaryLocations":[],"publishedAt":"2026-07-31T22:06:28.213+00:00","isListed":true,"isRemote":true,"workplaceType":"Hybrid","address":{"postalAddress":{"addressRegion":"NY","addressCountry":"United States","addressLocality":"New York"}},"jobUrl":"https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/kustomer/83a69655-d45d-40a1-a78d-3cef7c429e97","applyUrl":"https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/kustomer/83a69655-d45d-40a1-a78d-3cef7c429e97/application","descriptionHtml":"<p style=\"min-height:1.5em\"><strong>About Kustomer</strong></p><p style=\"min-height:1.5em\">Kustomer is the industry leading conversational CRM platform perfecting every customer experience.

You'll be expected to get good at directing AI to do the heavy lifting so you can spend your judgment where it matters: on the discovery, the architecture, and the decisions about what should be automated at all.\n\nThe experience you build here — seeing how our AI products perform across real customer environments — leads to a close working partnership with Product and Engineering. The team meets with them regularly to share what's working in the field, shape where the AI products go next, and establish the best practices that the rest of the company builds on.\n\n \n\nYou'll be responsible for:\n\n - Leading technical discovery sessions with customer experts to fully understand their use cases, business processes, and the systems that support them\n\n - Designing and building AI agents, code tools, and automations in Kustomer Concierge and Envoy\n\n - Guiding customers through the data and integration work that makes those agents possible, and identifying where their systems need to change\n\n - Helping prospects with proof of concept builds in testing environments\n\n - Testing, debugging, and tuning AI configurations in production — reading logs, stack traces, and API responses to refine and improve responses\n\n - Partnering with Product and Engineering: providing field feedback, brainstorming best practices, and writing documentation\n\n - Collaborating across the company to share AI knowledge and best practices\n\n - Travel as needed to support customer initiatives \n\n\n\nYour qualifications:\n\n - Experience in technical consulting, solutions architecture, implementation, or engineering — ideally in enterprise B2B SaaS\n\n - A track record of running effective customer discovery sessions: you can genuinely unpack the use cases and business processes behind what a customer says they want\n\n - Hands-on experience building integrations and prototypes against REST APIs, and real fluency in testing and debugging them\n\n - Ability to read and reason over JavaScript; you don't need to write production code from scratch, but you do need to understand what a Code Tool is doing, where it might be failing, and how to improve it\n\n - Genuine AI fluency in how you work. You already use AI coding and reasoning tools daily and have opinions about how to get good output from them\n\n - Familiarity with the customer experience and support space, and comfort discussing omnichannel delivery (email, voice, chat, social, bot) with both technical and business audiences\n\n - Strong written and verbal communication. You can explain a complex design to a VP of Engineering and a Tier 3 support lead in the same meeting and have both leave clear on what happens next\n\n - Innate curiosity for new technologies, tooling, and frameworks — and excitement to share what you find with colleagues\n   \n    \n\nHIPAA Compliance\n\nAll roles at Kustomer may involve handling sensitive personal data.\n\n\n\nBenefits\n\nKustomer offers an array of benefits including competitive salaries and stock options.
