As a Senior Manager, Customer Strategy & Operations, you will be tasked with serving as a strategic and operational right hand to the Sr. Director of Customer Strategy & Operations, moving fluidly between business intelligence, cross-org program execution, strategy support, and executive decision prep. The ideal candidate will bring strong analytical and financial acumen, proven cross-functional execution skills, and the ability to operate as an extension of the CCO Office and functional leadership. This leader will have a direct impact on SentinelOne's growth and operational efficiency by driving the highest-priority functional initiatives, owning business intelligence and planning, and supporting the integrated services strategy across internal teams, customers, and the partner ecosystem.

What Will You Do?

Primary responsibilities include:

• Drive the highest-priority initiatives across the organization, ensuring work that crosses teams and functions does not stall between orgs; act as an extension of the functional leaders and Customer Strategy & Operations Team, helping prep decisions, frame trade-offs, solve problems that span multiple organizations, and keep leadership focused on what matters most across functions, such as renewals, customer experience, and detection and engineering; drive evaluation, decisioning, and implementation of tooling, automation, and AI, partnering with IT, Product, Engineering, and functional leaders to move from assessment to adoption; and support strategic initiative execution by coordinating cross-functional resources and activities, tracking milestones against plans, and ensuring alignment across services, product, and partner priorities.
• Own business analysis and intelligence across key functional areas, including metrics and OKRs, performance tracking, root-cause analysis, and executive follow-up on gaps and opportunities; lead strategic planning and quarterly project management for priority initiatives, ensuring alignment between roadmap commitments, resource allocation, and business outcomes; and own revenue allocation and margin blending analysis for staff and non-staff resources, providing the financial visibility leadership needs to make informed investment and headcount decisions.
• Support initiatives that span Services & Partners, Renewals & NRR, and Customer Intelligence & Communications, driving coordination, tracking progress, and escalating blockers; help surface insights and recommendations by synthesizing feedback from the Field, Channel, and Customers alongside key metrics to identify inflection points requiring pivots or enhancements; and support partnership strategy and go-to-market execution by helping evaluate existing partnerships, track prospective growth options, and coordinate activities that align with SentinelOne's product and services goals.
• Partner with leaders to translate key organizational initiatives into OKRs and KPIs, establishing measurement frameworks and a cadence of reporting on progress; and provide clear executive-level reporting on initiative progress, business impact, risks, and decisions required, synthesizing data into narratives that drive action.
• Build and maintain the operating cadence for the Customer Strategy & Operations function, including executive updates, operating reviews, decision logs, and initiative tracking; develop and refine frameworks, business cases, and analyses that enable the Sr. Director and CCO leadership to make faster, better-informed decisions; and communicate requirements for change effectively and quickly, in alignment with broader corporate goals and culture.
• Take ownership over outcomes and continuously identify a better way of doing things where applicable; and identify operational friction and recurring failure points across the CX organization, translating those insights into process, tooling, or organizational improvements.

• 7 or more years of experience in business operations, strategy, business intelligence, program management, management consulting, or a comparable role within a technology or SaaS company.
• Experience working closely with Services, Renewals, Sales, and Business Strategy organizations.

• Demonstrated ability to drive cross-functional initiatives across multiple organizations without direct authority, building alignment, tracking execution, and escalating effectively.
• Experience operating as a strategic partner to senior leaders, including preparing executive decisions, framing trade-offs, and synthesizing complex operational data into clear recommendations.
