Sales Strategy Lead, Fireworks AI

• The right candidate has both the analytical horsepower to own a segmentation model and the credibility to challenge a VP of Sales on their pipeline. This role starts as a senior IC and grows into a team lead as we scale
• The right candidate is actively building with AI tools, with a specific point of view on how that changes the way a sales strategy function operates
• 7+ years spanning at least two of: revenue/sales operations, quota-carrying sales or customer ownership, and GTM strategy or management consulting
• Has been embedded with a quota-carrying sales team — not adjacent to it
• Strong analytical skills; can go from raw data to executive recommendation without a data team supporting every request
• SQL proficiency: independently queries Salesforce-derived data
• Has owned at least one major GTM motion end-to-end: territory redesign, quota modeling, QBR architecture, or sales play development
• Actively using AI tools in current workflow

Desirable

• Reporting to the Director of Revenue Strategy & Analytics, the Sales Strategy Lead is the primary business partner to the Sales VPs. This role owns the strategy work for our scaling GTM machine: translating analytical output into GTM recommendations, owning segment-level business reviews, and the daily grind of driving our sales execution forward in partnership with Sales leadership
• This is an embedded, high-trust role. The Sales VPs should be coming to this person first — for deal strategy, territory questions, pipeline reads, and planning inputs
• Serve as the primary strategic partner to Sales VPs on segment strategy, territory design, ICP prioritization, sales plays, and growth initiatives
• Own QBR preparation and delivery for your segments: synthesize pipeline data, field signal, and competitive dynamics into clear recommendations
• Lead territory carving, account tiering, and sales play development in partnership with Sales leadership and RevOps
• Partner with peers and cross-functionally on annual and quarterly planning: pressure test our GTM investment thesis with deep inspection and quantitative viewpoints about segment-level targets, territory models, and capacity inputs
• Maintain an ongoing read on segment performance — win rates, deal velocity, pipeline health — and bring proactive recommendations when the trend lines shift
• Own the weekly operating rhythm for your segments: forecast inputs, pipeline reviews, and leadership staff meeting prep
• Prepare executive materials that go from raw data to clear recommendation — not decks that describe the problem
• Build AI-native workflows into how this role operates: account research, pipeline review prep, competitive briefs, and executive content generation
