Go-to-Market, Sales Strategy & Operations Senior Associate - Marketing Solutions at LinkedIn – London | Jobyssey

At LinkedIn, our approach to flexible work is centered on trust and optimized for culture, connection, clarity, and the evolving needs of our business. The work location of this role is hybrid, meaning it will be performed both from home and from a LinkedIn office on select days, as determined by the business needs of the team.

Our Sales Operations organization is responsible for building the ultimate go-to-market engine to connect our solutions with customer needs at scale. As a Sales Strategy & Operations Senior Associate, you will be partnering with senior sales executives to crack the most important strategic topics in the sales organization, driving revenue growth and improving sales productivity and customer value. The Associate is also responsible for leading, executing and scaling operational and planning processes (e.g. building sales territories, setting sales targets) in partnership with cross-functional stakeholders (e.g. Finance).

In this role you will partner with the EMEA LinkedIn Marketing Solutions (LMS) sales leadership team to optimize the GTM motion for advertisers and agencies — driving customer segmentation, territory and quota design, and the operational rhythm for the Marketing Solutions business.

The Senior Associate should have a strong strategic mindset and communications skills and collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders to drive critical business decisions. The candidate should also be able to handle highly sensitive, confidential, and non-routine information, be open minded to challenge the status quo and work on a rapidly changing organization, while raising the bar for themselves and their partners.
