PagerDuty is seeking a Director, Sales & Customer Success Operations – Americas to serve as a senior operator and trusted advisor to our Americas Sales and Customer Success leadership. Reporting to the VP, Field Operations, you will lead sales planning and translate company strategy into a scalable, repeatable Americas go-to-market engine spanning the full customer lifecycle across Commercial, Mid-Market, and Enterprise segments. This role looks beyond the current quarter: you will anticipate what the business needs next quarter, next fiscal year, and beyond, while running the operating cadence and forecast rigor that keep the region on track today.

You will lead a team of sales and customer success operations professionals and a portfolio of strategic go-to-market initiatives. You will not own the sales or customer success technology stack; instead, you will partner closely with IT, Applications, and other stakeholders to evolve the processes and systems that support the Americas Sales and Customer Success organizations.
