• Interlock with central Enablement function to ensure broader F5 sellers are equipped to have commercial conversations around AI Security.
• Bridge the gap between Product, Marketing, Sales and Customer success to ensure seamless flow of signal and shared accountability for ramp and commercial outcomes.

• Experience in a revenue or GTM operations role with direct exposure to pipeline data, funnel analytics, and driving cross-functional commercial alignment.
• Demonstrated ability to architect frameworks and translate data into actionable commercial decisions for GTM leadership and C-suite audiences.
• Strong interpersonal and written communication. Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to operate with high levels of autonomy and judgment calls in fast-paced and dynamic environments.

• Familiarity with FinServ risk, compliance, and vendor governance frameworks is a meaningful advantage given buyer profile.
• Experience with KPI governance and GTM health metric frameworks (conversion rates, ramp velocity, funnel friction identification).
• Exposure to a nascent or category-creating sales motion, as distinct from a renewal or expansion-led business.
