Role

As a Commercial Operations Manager, you will play a key role in ensuring the commercial functions at Intrinsic operate effectively. You will have the opportunity to collaborate closely with amazing and talented people across Intrinsic’s functions. Working primarily with business development, market intelligence, marketing and communications, you’ll apply simple, yet effective program management practices to help these teams coordinate their efforts in quarterly planning cycles. You will facilitate the flow of information – not only between these core functions, but also between them and various cross-functional go-to-market programs. 

A core part of your work will involve managing resource requests and commitments, with the specific goal of providing clear expectations for the teams as they plan and execute their work each quarter. You will focus on bringing clarity and structure to cross-functional interactions within the commercial group, enabling efficient execution and collaboration and acting as a central point of coordination that helps bind these diverse efforts together.

You will collaborate closely with the Product & Engineering Operations team to ensure that practices and processes go hand in hand – from first customer contact to continuous product support.
