The ideal candidate combines strong business acumen with analytical rigor, critical thinking, and problem-solving capabilities. This individual should be comfortable working cross-functionally across Sales Planning, MDM, Finance, and IT teams to drive operational excellence, scalable processes, and high-quality master data management.

Key Responsibilities:

Data Stewardship & Operational Support

  • Track, monitor, and document overrides to key account attributes including hierarchy, revenue, segment, industry, and other planning-related fields to ensure alignment with Sales Planning policies, business rules, and reporting requirements.
  • Maintain audit-ready documentation and traceability for manual overrides, hierarchy modifications, and disposition changes to support internal controls, governance standards, and financial reporting compliance.
  • Support and manage Reltio workflow notifications by monitoring data issues, routing system alerts to appropriate stakeholders, and driving timely resolution and follow-through.
  • Lead disposition cleanup and standardization efforts across account records to improve data consistency, planning accuracy, and downstream reporting integrity.

Account Data Governance & Integrity

  • Own and maintain the accuracy of account data across systems including Salesforce (SFDC), Reltio, D&B, and Anaplan.
  • Monitor and manage account hierarchy, segment, revenue, industry, and other key account attributes to ensure alignment with Sales Planning rules and reporting requirements.
  • Investigate and resolve data quality issues including incorrect parent-child hierarchies, segment misclassifications, inactive accounts, and missing or invalid dispositions.

Proactive Audits & Process Improvement

  • Design and execute periodic audits to validate account hierarchies, segmentation, assignments, and key planning attributes.
  • Partner with MDM and IT teams to identify root causes and implement scalable process improvements.
  • Recommend and drive operational enhancements that improve data quality, governance, and planning efficiency.

Sales Planning Support

  • Support the annual and ongoing sales planning cycles by validating account assignments and planning-related data across SFDC, Reltio, and Anaplan.
  • Monitor key fields and dependencies that impact quota assignment, territory alignment, forecasting, and sales crediting.
  • Provide analytical support and insights to improve planning accuracy and operational effectiveness.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Collaborate closely with Sales Planning, MDM, Finance, IT, and Sales Operations stakeholders to resolve account-related issues and improve business processes.
  • Serve as a trusted partner and subject matter expert on account hierarchy management, data governance, and planning operations best practices.
  • Effectively communicate findings, risks, and recommendations to stakeholders across global teams.
  • Design and execute periodic audits to validate account hierarchies, segments, and assignments.
  • Partner with the MDM team to resolve root causes and implement sustainable fixes.
  • Propose and implement process improvements to prevent data quality issues upstream.

Qualifications

  • 8+ years of experience in Sales Operations, Business Operations, or Master Data Management roles.
  • Strong hands-on experience with Salesforce (SFDC) and Anaplan; familiarity with Reltio, D&B, and account hierarchy tools is preferred.
  • Advanced proficiency in Excel and Google Sheets for analysis and reporting.
  • Solid understanding of sales planning processes, territory management, quota allocation, and sales compensation dependencies.
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to collaborate across global teams and influence without authority.
  • Proven ability to work cross-functionally and influence stakeholders in a matrixed global environment.
