Responsibilities
As Chief of Staff you'll be the strategic copilot to Notion's Global Head of Sales. You'll work directly with our Global Head of Sales on the complex problems and decisions that drive our sales engine.
You'll thrive in this role if you enjoy being at the center of global sales strategy. Whether that's preparing for board meetings, facilitating cross-functional alignment, or representing the sales organization with key stakeholders.
We're looking for someone who gets energized by revolutionary sales challenges like balancing self-serve and enterprise motions, transforming our business motions internally and externally with AI, and identifying new market opportunities. If you can seamlessly shift between analyzing business metrics, facilitating executive decision-making, and strong project management execution - this role is for you! We’re looking for someone who is low ego, high motor, excited to roll up their sleeves, and ready to make an impact!
This role can be based in either San Francisco or New York City. We work from our offices on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays (our Anchor Days) because we do our best thinking and building together in person. We’re looking for someone who’s excited to work alongside the team during those days.
What You'll Achieve:
Serve as the Global Head of Sales’ trusted partner. You'll help prepare for board meetings, facilitate executive decision-making, and represent the sales org with internal & external stakeholders.
Act as a strategic connector for the Sales organization. You'll use your cross-functional knowledge to identify trends, connect dots for stakeholders, and drive increased alignment between teams. This includes working across GTM teams as well as with close partners in EPD, Finance, People, and Legal.
Lead cross-functional projects. You'll run cross functional projects and forums to increase alignment for sales. This includes leading our sales organization planning and reporting.
Identify and drive forward global sales strategy. You’ll run analysis on the Notion business and opportunities to deepen customer deployments. Through this work you’ll identify opportunities and provide recommendations for the sales business as it continues to grow and scale. In some cases you’ll own the execution of the strategy too.
Drive our rhythm of business. You’ll play a key role in driving the weekly sales Leads meeting, spearheading quarterly Sales Lead offsites, and working closely with the Global Head of Sales on regular communications to the sales org.
