Sales Operations Program Manager
Flatiron’s mission is to improves lives by learning from the experience of every cancer patient. The experience of every cancer patient is a powerful legacy. Each patient’s story has the unique potential to teach us something new about the way cancer works, and help us find more effective treatments, faster. At Flatiron, we believe that learning from the experience of every cancer patient is an imperative — it is the key to accelerating research and continuing to improve the quality of care. What stands in the way is an overwhelming technology challenge: much of the available, real-world clinical data is unstructured and stored across thousands of disconnected community clinics, medical centers and hospitals. It is a problem that we believe we can solve.
The Sales Operations team is responsible for building gold standard business processes, metrics and reporting to help Flatiron’s sales and commercial teams run efficiently and effectively. These processes focus primarily on sales automation, sales forecasting, analytics & metrics tracking, incentive compensation modeling and calculation, CRM adoption, and contract management.
