Senior Field Operations Manager, Growth + EMEA

Remote - US East

About the Job:

LaunchDarkly is looking for a Senior Field Operations Manager to support our Global Growth sales organization, including Corporate, Mid-Market, and Small Enterprise Account Executives, as well as SDRs across AMER and EMEA.

Through strong relationships, deep context, and an understanding of how the field actually operates day to day, you will serve as an embedded, consultative business partner to sales leadership, frontline managers, and the sales team overall. In this role, you will help bring structure, rigor, and clarity to how the business is run by strengthening operating rhythms, improving forecast quality, and reducing surprises across pipeline, deal progression, and core sales processes.

You will partner closely with Sales Enablement, RevOps, Data & Insights, Marketing, and other GTM teams to translate strategy into scalable, repeatable workflows that the field can actually execute. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in high-velocity environments, enjoys creating order out of ambiguity, earns trust quickly, balances empathy with accountability, and enjoys helping leaders plan proactively rather than react late.

Responsibilities:

Serve as the Voice of the Field & Strategic Business Partner

  • Build trusted relationships with sales leadership, frontline managers, and their teams to deeply understand day-to-day challenges, friction points, and operational needs.
  • Synthesize qualitative field feedback with quantitative signals to form an independent, balanced point of view.
  • Identify patterns and themes across the field and translate them into clear problem statements, recommendations, and business impact for GTM leadership.
  • Support leadership through pre-briefs and post-briefs by highlighting risks, opportunities, and focus areas tied to pipeline health and execution.
  • Ensure two-way communication by helping the field understand the “why” behind process decisions, operating changes, and prioritization tradeoffs.

Drive Operational Excellence & Core Sales Operating Rhythms

  • Partner with sales leadership to reinforce and maintain operating rhythms across forecasting, pipeline inspection, deal reviews, and business reviews.
  • Help ensure forecasting is planful and disciplined by supporting pre-work, risk identification, and follow-through during deal inspection and forecast calls.
  • Diagnose pipeline health by assessing quality vs. quantity, focus vs. capacity, and translating insights into actionable guidance for managers and reps.
  • Operationalize core sales processes (e.g., opportunity management and inspection standards) within weekly and monthly rhythms.
  • Clarify purpose, inputs, and expected outcomes for “run-the-business” activities to reduce duplication and improve execution quality.

Partner Cross-Functionally to Enable Reliable Execution

  • Work closely with Sales Enablement to ensure programs are implemented smoothly, reinforced through managers, and adopted consistently in the field.
  • Partner with RevOps and Systems teams to translate field pain points into clear, actionable system or process requirements.
  • Support major tool and process rollouts by helping define field readiness, sequencing, and adoption risks.
  • Collaborate with Marketing and Campaign teams to improve campaign follow-up reliability, including ownership, timing, and tooling expectations.
  • Serve as a first-line escalation point when sales processes or workflows break, routing issues to the appropriate owner and ensuring closure.

Measure, Inspect, and Improve Operational Performance

  • Track key performance indicators related to pipeline health, forecast accuracy, and execution quality to identify trends and risks.
  • Use data and field insight to inform recommendations, prioritize improvements, and refine workflows over time.
  • Document and scale best practices across regions while allowing for regional nuance.
  • Continuously refine field guidance based on performance data, leader feedback, and observed execution gaps.

Support Business Reviews, QBRs, and Leadership Readouts

  • Support preparation for quarterly and monthly business reviews by helping clarify focus areas, storyline, and key metrics.
  • Synthesize themes, risks, and action items from reviews into durable artifacts and clear follow-up plans.
  • Ensure review outputs translate into next-step priorities and operating adjustments, not just presentations.

About You:

  • You are operationally minded, detail-oriented, and proactive in identifying gaps and solving problems.
  • You enjoy acting as a thought partner to sales leaders and managers, balancing empathy for the field with accountability to the business.
  • You bring structure to ambiguous problems and can translate complexity into clear actions.
  • You thrive in cross-functional environments and communicate clearly with stakeholders at multiple levels.
  • You are data-informed and comfortable combining quantitative insight with qualitative judgment.
  • You are energized by improving how teams operate, not just launching new initiatives.

Qualifications:

  • 8+ years of experience in field operations, revenue operations, sales programs, enablement, or a related GTM role.
  • Experience supporting Growth, Corporate, Mid-Market, SMB, or other high-velocity sales teams.
  • Strong understanding of sales processes, opportunity management, and inspection frameworks.
  • Hands-on experience partnering with sales managers and leaders on forecasting, pipeline health, and deal execution.
  • Firsthand experience in sales or as an SDR in a SaaS environment.
  • Experience working with Salesforce, Gong, forecasting workflows, and enablement platforms (e.g., Highspot, Saleshood, or similar).
  • Strong project management, organizational, and communication skills.
  • Comfortable managing multiple priorities in a fast-moving, evolving environment.
  • Experience partnering cross-functionally with Enablement, RevOps, Marketing, Product Marketing, and Data & Insights teams.

Why you'll love working here:

  • You’ll help shape how a globally distributed, high-growth sales team operates.
  • You’ll partner closely with sales and GTM leaders, influencing both strategy and execution.
  • You’ll work in a culture that values clarity, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
  • You’ll play a key role in strengthening the operational foundation of a critical growth segment at LaunchDarkly.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
