Senior Manager, Experiential Marketing & Events

As Director, Sales Operations, you will serve as the hands-on operator powering GumGum’s evolving revenue operating model by turning GTM decisions into structured, executable seller workflows, reliable dashboards, and trusted forecasts. Sitting directly between strategy and execution, this role requires deep technical mastery of a complex Salesforce environment alongside sharp commercial judgment to build trusted reporting and drive seamless sales planning across global regions (NA, EMEA, JAPAC). Working closely with the VP of Sales Strategy & Operations, cross-functional leadership, and Finance, you will establish standard sales processes, optimize data taxonomies, and act as the single source of truth for revenue data—initially as an individual contributor with room to eventually lead a small team.
