Named one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies and to the CNBC Disruptor 50, Armada’s solutions are deployed in over 60 countries globally for organizations ranging from energy to defense.

We are building the infrastructure layer for sovereign and edge AI - rugged, deployable compute for customers that cannot rely on centralized cloud.
Working at Armada means taking ownership, driving autonomy, and delivering impact. You’ll tackle challenges that haven’t been solved before and help build something transformative from the ground up. What you do here will not only define your career but help further Armada’s mission to bridge the digital divide for customers around the world.
About the Role
We are seeking a Senior Sales Strategy & Operations Manager to own the go-to-market operating cadence for Armada's global sales organization. This role sits within the Revenue Operations team, reporting to the Director, Sales Operations. This role will serve as a key business partner to Sales Leadership, Finance, Deal Desk, and members of the larger RevOps team, ensuring that our sales organization is optimized for scale, efficiency, and predictable growth across our suite of offerings. It serves as the operational backbone for territory and capacity planning, forecasting, pipeline management, and sales performance reporting across our hardware and software portfolio.
The role carries two mandates. The first is the recurring operating rhythm of the business: forecast management, pipeline inspection, territory design and calibration, quota allocation, and the reporting sales leadership runs the business on. The second is transition support as Armada's business units evolve, including planning for evolving or new lines of business and the territory, quota, and compensation that accompanies it.
This is a senior individual contributor role for someone who wants ownership of key planning workstreams rather than a narrow analytical lane. The ideal candidate is analytically rigorous, thrives in ambiguity, and drives to decisions quickly. You'll join at a pivotal moment, helping build the operating model that scales Armada's sales organization as it brings edge AI infrastructure to customers around the world.
Location. This role is remote-based on the continental US.

- Administer the sales compensation platform, including plan configuration, period close and payout validation
