Our values
Impact: Cogniters strive to make an impact in all that they do. We are result-oriented, always asking ourselves.
Ownership: Cogniters embrace a culture of ownership. We go beyond our comfort zones to contribute to the greater good, fostering inclusivity and sharing responsibilities for challenges and success. 
Relentless: Cogniters are relentless in their pursuit of innovation. We are determined and deliverable (never ruthless or reckless), facing challenges head-on and viewing setbacks as opportunities for growth. 



About the position
At Cognite, we're building something significant in industrial AI, and we need a leader who can drive our go-to-market systems forward. What makes this role particularly exciting is the chance to define how we leverage AI to unlock new levels of efficiency and growth. This isn't just about managing technology; it's about being a hands-on builder who shapes the very flow of our customer journey at Cognite, optimizing every interaction with intelligent solutions.

You'll take ownership of our Salesforce ecosystem, ensuring all our integrated tools work seamlessly together. The goal is simple: connect our teams effectively, driving us all toward Cognite's growth objectives. This role is for someone who enjoys diving deep – you'll set the strategic roadmap, directly configure complex systems, troubleshoot issues, and implement real improvements. While you'll have support from Salesforce contractors, this position demands strong technical ownership and a proactive approach.

At Cognite, we see Revenue Operations as a strategic growth engine, not just a support function. This is your opportunity to build the intelligent foundation that powers how we sell, serve, and grow.

This is a Hybrid role based out of either our Phoenix, Austin or Houston offices

    • Build a Connected Ecosystem: You'll design and optimize a best-in-class suite of GTM tools that integrate flawlessly with Salesforce and each other. Your expertise will ensure our marketing, sales, customer success, finance, and legal teams are connected, sharing a unified view of the customer journey and working towards common goals.
    • Prioritize User Experience: You'll build systems with a sharp focus on usability and adoption. Your goal is to make sure our platforms are intuitive, easy to navigate, and reliable sources of truth that empower data-driven decisions.
    • Drive Cross-Functional Alignment: You'll partner closely with GTM teams, including Marketing, Sales, Customer Business Executives, Enablement, Finance, Deal Desk, and Legal, translating their business needs into effective system solutions.
    • Manage System Roadmaps: You'll own and drive the GTM systems roadmap, prioritizing high-impact initiatives, streamlining stakeholder requests, and ensuring timely delivery of features that improve user experience and deliver tangible business value.
    • Optimize Vendor Relationships: You'll manage relationships with vendors for Salesforce and our core GTM tools, ensuring our systems are lean, cost-effective, and strategically aligned.

    • Architectural Vision: You have a proven ability to design, implement, and optimize a best-in-class GTM tech stack, understanding complex system dependencies and integrations.
    • AI Acumen: You possess a strong understanding of current and emerging AI technologies, with practical experience or a clear vision for how AI can be applied to optimize GTM processes, enhance productivity, and improve customer insights.

    • Clear Communication: You can translate complex technical information into clear, compelling business value for diverse audiences, from GTM leadership to Finance and Legal.
    • Builder Mentality: You're resourceful, detail-oriented, and energized by the opportunity to build scalable systems from a strong, evolving foundation.
