Second Front Systems, a defense-technology software company, is seeking a Manager of Revenue Operations to scale and lead the revenue engine. Reporting to the Director of Revenue Operations, you will own the day-to-day operating model for the go-to-market organization, ensuring forecast accuracy, revenue integrity, and operational discipline across commercial, federal, and international sales motions. Key Responsibilities: • Build and run predictive forecasting models that track pipeline coverage, conversion, and velocity; lead weekly forecast cadences and quarterly pipeline reviews across new business, renewals, and expansion. • Protect revenue integrity by reconciling CRM, CPQ, and financial systems; ensure bookings, billing, contract terms, and revenue recognition align; support monthly close and board reporting. • Own planning, quotas, and sales incentive compensation design; partner with Sales, Finance, and leadership on territory planning, quota setting, and payout accuracy. • Maintain pipeline integrity end-to-end, with particular attention to defense-specific complexities: contract vehicles, government funding timing, fiscal-year cycles, and accreditation milestones. • Create metrics, dashboards, and executive-ready analysis to inform leadership decisions on investment priorities and performance tracking. • Standardize the deal lifecycle by setting stage criteria, qualification standards, and deal review discipline; ensure clean handoffs from opportunity through contract to customer success. • Align sales targets, pricing, and contract terms with customer success and delivery capacity to ensure profitable, on-time delivery. • Shape the GTM tech stack roadmap; partner with the Senior Salesforce Solutions Architect to scope and roll out improvements; drive adoption across Salesforce, DealHub, and connected tools. • Lead and coach the Revenue Operations Analyst; set priorities and quality standards; build documentation, playbooks, and operating rhythms to enable RevOps scaling. You will be a key partner to Sales, Finance, Marketing, and Mission Success leaders, bringing discipline, accountability, and a bias for action to every stage of the customer lifecycle. Requirements: • 5+ years of experience in Revenue Operations, Sales Operations, Business Operations, or Strategy & Operations, ideally at a high-growth B2B software company. • 2+ years managing people or leading cross-functional programs as a player-coach with measurable outcomes. • Proven track record building forecasting models and pipeline governance that measurably improved forecast accuracy. • Deep hands-on Salesforce expertise across data architecture, reporting, and governance; experience with CPQ platforms and quote-to-cash workflows. • Financial acumen to partner with Finance on bookings, billing, and revenue recognition; ability to reconcile across systems. • Strong analytical skills: advanced Excel or Google Sheets, working SQL proficiency, and BI tool experience; ability to turn large datasets into clear recommendations. • Excellent stakeholder management and ability to lead change without formal authority; comfort building and documenting processes in scaling, ambiguous organizations. • Experience supporting complex, long-cycle, multi-stakeholder sales (enterprise, government, or regulated-industry deals). Preferred: • Hands-on experience with Salesforce and DealHub, plus broader GTM stack. • Experience designing or administering sales and customer success compensation plans. • GovTech, defense, or public-sector software experience, including familiarity with federal contract vehicles, option-year structures, government fiscal cycles, and accreditation requirements.
