As a Training & Operations Manager, you will build and scale a predictable, AI-enabled learning operations engine across APJ that transforms regional execution into disciplined, data-driven, revenue-aligned outcomes.

- Partner with Sales, Professional Services, and Learning & Enablement leaders to translate global strategy into executable regional plans.
- Reduce operational friction by embedding automation, predictive analytics, and AI-first workflows into intake, scheduling, and performance tracking.
- Improve forecast accuracy and operational predictability by identifying risks early and driving structured corrective action.
- Lead high-priority escalations with discipline and composure, converting recurring issues into systemic improvements.
- Increase stakeholder self-sufficiency by shifting standard operational requests into automated, AI-enabled pathways.
- Standardize governance frameworks, decision rights, and ownership models to ensure consistent regional execution aligned with global standards.
- Optimize regional utilization and fill rates while maintaining cost discipline and delivery quality.
- Elevate operational maturity across APJ by driving adoption of data-driven practices and structured execution frameworks.
What we look for:
- 10+ years of experience in Consulting, Sales Operations, Business Operations, Enablement Operations, or Professional Services Operations within high-growth technology companies.
- Proven experience owning regional operating cadence, forecasting frameworks, and large-scale execution models.
- Strong commercial fluency, including understanding of utilization, forecast variance, and revenue discipline.
- Experience implementing automation, analytics, or AI-driven workflows to improve efficiency and predictability.
- Analytical rigor with the ability to translate data into executive-level insight and actionable recommendations.
- Experience operating in matrixed, international environments with sensitivity to regional and cultural nuances.
- A structured, systems-oriented mindset with the ability to balance speed, governance, and scalability.
