Tacton is seeking a Senior Manager, Revenue Operations to act as the primary operational partner to the SVP of Sales (North America). This role sits at the intersection of revenue growth and operational governance, requiring a unique ability to drive commercial performance while enforcing discipline, data integrity, and process adherence.

You will work directly with Account Executives on active opportunities, providing candid, data-driven guidance on deal strategy, qualification, and next steps. Your role is to improve deal quality and win rates through insight and challenge, not to manage salespeople or own deal execution.
