Designing and optimising the regional coverage model and territory strategy across the US and Canada. Leading the transformation of sales readiness to support complex, multi-product partner engagements. Owning incentive design and administration (targets, SPIFs, rebates) to drive specific seller behaviours aligned to growth objectives. Owning Salesforce as the single source of truth , driving data integrity, hygiene, and consistent reporting across all regional functions. Championing sales innovation by trialling and scaling AI agents, automation tools, and advanced analytics to increase field productivity. Where and how you can work Xero is continuing to acknowledge the importance of the physical office as a place for community and connection. Our hybrid work model includes "boost days" where teams come together in our modern office spaces to collaborate and solve problems. You will have the flexibility to balance remote work with meaningful in-person engagement in your local region.

Deep understanding of SaaS revenue models (LTV, CAC, churn) and the ability to connect operational metrics to financial outcomes. Proven ability to act as a voice of truth, delivering objective, data-backed insights to senior leaders, including the Managing Director and Americas Sales Leadership, and influencing decision-making. Expert-level ownership of CRM and BI ecosystems, including Salesforce as the single source of truth, alongside tools such as Tableau, Snowflake, and DBT. Advanced experience in forecasting, performance analytics, and data modeling, with a strong grasp of data science concepts.
