MISSION:
Build and lead the Revenue Operations function that connects Groq’s go-to-market
organization to the commercial and financial operations of the business. You
will own the systems, processes, and operating rhythms that move opportunities
from quote through contract, booking, billing, renewal, and expansion.
This role will build a scalable operating foundation across Deal Desk, revenue
systems, usage and billing operations, and Sales Operations. You will partner
closely with Sales, GTM Finance, Accounting, Legal, and Platform to improve
execution, increase visibility, and create a reliable commercial engine that can
scale with the business.
Location: This role will be based in one of our three hiring hubs: the Dallas,
San Francisco, or New York City area. The person hired for this role must be
based in one of these three areas. You’ll have the flexibility to work remotely
while we establish our local Groq office, with the expectation that this role
will transition to onsite once the office opens.

- Create visibility and operating discipline. Build reporting and controls
