You will:
As a Services Sales & Operations Lead, you will own the day-to-day intake and scoping for lower-complexity custom deals and standard package attachments, ensuring operational discipline, fast deal turnaround, and margin integrity. As you master high-volume deal flow and operational governance, you will gain hands-on mentorship and development opportunities to shadow and lead increasingly complex, strategic enterprise deal solutioning.

Objectives of the Role:

• Govern & Enforce Standard Attach Rules: Ensure baseline services attach requirements are systematically enforced across renewal and expansion workflows.

• Accelerate Velocity on Lower-Complexity Deals: Own the triage, rapid scoping, pricing, and statement-of-work (SOW) generation for higher-volume, lower-complexity custom services opportunities.

• Drive Renewals Alignment: Partner proactively with Customer Success and Account Executives to identify renewal services opportunities, defend baseline attach, and package add-on services.

• Bridge Commercial Scoping & Sales Operations: Maintain scoping SLAs, pipeline accuracy in CRM/PSA tools, and adherence to standard pricing/margin guidelines.

• Growth & Progression Pathway: Build foundational expertise in LiveRamp delivery models and margin mechanics to advance into complex, multi-product enterprise solutioning.

Key Responsibilities:

• Services Deal Desk & High-Velocity Scoping (Services Sales)

  • Serve as the primary commercial and scoping point of contact for high-velocity, lower-complexity custom services requests (CSRs/UWRs).

  • Translate customer objectives and technical requirements into standard services packages, custom scoping estimates, and executable Statements of Work (SOWs) / Order Forms.

  • Lead client-facing discovery calls for standard and low-to-mid complexity deals to position services value and establish clear boundaries of delivery scope.

  • Partner with Account Executives (AEs) and Customer Success Managers (CSMs) during negotiation to defend services rates, baseline scoping assumptions, and staffing models.

  • Shadow senior solution architects on complex, multi-faceted enterprise deals to progressively build skills in advanced architecture, custom statement design, and strategic deal positioning.

• Renewals & Baseline Services Attach Governance (Sales Operations)

  • Monitor renewal cycles and pipeline milestones to identify target accounts requiring standard services attach or technical health check packages.

  • Enforce baseline services attach criteria, operational guardrails, and margin thresholds across standard sales and renewal motions.

  • Identify deal desk exceptions and non-standard terms; manage the approvals workflow between Sales, Services Leadership, and Legal.

  • Review renewal trends, Greenspace, and Clawback data to identify gaps where missing services attach led to churn or delayed time-to-value.

  • Keep scoping templates, baseline package definitions, standard work breakdowns, and rate cards up to date.

• Operational Discipline, Tooling & Enablement

  • Track deal intake velocity, turnaround SLAs, conversion rates, and attach metrics within Salesforce and PSA systems (e.g., Mavenlink/Kantata, Smartsheet).

  • Inform AEs, CSMs, and Solution Engineers on standard services SKUs, self-serve scoping tools, baseline attach triggers, and engagement rules of engagement.

  • Partner with Services Delivery leads to ensure sold scopes seamlessly transition to staffing and onboarding without margin slippage or operational surprises.

  • Consistently capture field feedback to refine scoping calculators, standard package collateral, and sales enablement assets.

• Renewals & Expansion Acumen: Solid understanding of SaaS retention dynamics and how professional services directly impact product adoption, customer health, and contract renewals.

• Growth Mindset: High appetite to manage the operational blocking-and-tackling of high-volume deals while actively developing the skills needed to tackle large-scale enterprise custom solutioning.

• Systems Proficiency: Strong working knowledge of Salesforce (SFDC) workflows, CPQ/deal desk environments, and PSA/resource planning tools (e.g., Kantata/Mavenlink, Smartsheet, FinancialForce).
