The Operations Executive is the execution backbone of our Sage Embedded Services programme. Reporting to the SVP Embedded Services and Fintech, you will orchestrate the end-to-end journey of the wider Embedded Services team, and your mission is to drive momentum, accountability, and alignment across Sales, Product, Engineering, Legal, Marketing, and Finance, ensuring that strategic deals move through our internal ecosystem efficiently and predictably, and that signed accounts grow in-line with targets.
This is a high-visibility, individual contributor role for a disciplined navigator who thrives in the ‘grey space’ of multi-stakeholder enterprise environments and prides themselves on flawless deal orchestration.
At Sage, we believe face to face collaboration drives innovation, so we operate a hybrid model. You’ll work three days per week in the office and two days from home.
