Title : Strategic Operations Program Manager, Renewals Sales Excellence

Location :

San Jose, CA, US, 95128 Boulder, CO, US, 80301 Morrisville, NC, US Wichita, KS, US, 67208

Requisition ID : 133450

Role Overview

The Strategic Operations Program Manager, reporting to the Sr. Director of Renewal Sales Excellence, serves as a high-leverage operator and renewal insights leader for the Renewals and LCM organization at NetApp. This role drives clarity, discipline, and cross-functional execution across the global renewal revenue engine while also shaping how the organization thinks about renewal sales excellence.

Blending a Chief-of-Staff-style program leadership remit with the analytical rigor of Sales Excellence, this role builds operating mechanisms, orchestrates complex initiatives, improves processes and systems, and enriches leadership decision-making through actionable insights. You create structure where there is ambiguity and momentum where there are blockers.

Beyond execution, this role acts as a Renewal Insights and Thought Leadership engine—challenging conventional approaches, introducing fresh perspectives, and helping define what best-in-class renewal execution looks like today and in the future. You don’t just operationalize strategy; you help shape it by connecting data, customer experience, market trends, and systems innovation into a clear point of view that influences leadership decisions and investment priorities.

What You'll Deliver

1. Orchestrate Cross-Functional Execution

  • Drive priority initiatives across the Sales ecosystem, CSO, RevOps, Finance, IT, Product, and Customer Success—ensuring alignment, progress, and accountability.
  • Translate strategic objectives into execution plans, milestones, and cross-team operating rhythms.
  • Proactively identify risks, dependencies, and constraints before they become bottlenecks.

2. Build Scalable Operating Mechanisms

  • Establish the processes, governance structures, and operating rhythms that power the global renewals business.
  • Own mechanisms for forecasting reviews, pipeline hygiene, business performance reporting, and operational cadence.
  • Standardize playbooks, documentation, and workflows to enable repeatability, scale, and consistent execution.
  • 3. Lead Renewal Insights & Thought Leadership

  • Develop and articulate a clear point of view on renewal sales excellence grounded in data, customer behavior, and market trends.
  • Translate renewal performance data into insights, narratives, and recommendations that shape strategy—not just reporting.
  • Identify leading indicators, emerging risks, and future opportunities across automation, customer experience, and commercial execution.
  • Act as a strategic thought partner to Renewal, Sales, and Customer Success leadership—bringing perspective, challenge, and fresh ideas.
  • Continuously benchmark internal performance against best practices and evolving SaaS and technology renewal models.
  • 4. Create Clarity Out of Ambiguity

  • Synthesize complex, cross-functional inputs into clear insights, decisions, and next steps.
  • Bring structure, prioritization, and logic to ambiguous or rapidly evolving problems.
  • Serve as a connective operator tying together strategy, data, systems, and people.
  • 5. Drive Forecasting Accuracy & Performance Insight

  • Build and maintain visibility into renewal performance, risk, and trends.
  • Move beyond forecast accuracy to uncover behavioral, operational, and systemic drivers of renewal outcomes.
  • Partner with Sales, IT, and RevOps to ensure pipeline discipline, forecast precision, and data integrity.
  • Define dashboards, metrics, and analytics that illuminate renewal health, execution quality, and risk velocity.
  • What You’ll Deliver - Part 2

    6. Advance Automation, Systems & Customer Experience

  • Partner with IT and Business Systems to optimize and modernize renewal tooling, workflows, and data sources.
  • Champion automation opportunities that simplify execution, reduce manual effort, and improve speed and scalability.
  • Reimagine renewal workflows with a customer-first lens—balancing experience, efficiency, and commercial outcomes.
  • Challenge legacy processes and assumptions that limit insight, agility, or customer value.
  • 7. Enable Leadership with Strategic Insight & Accountability

  • Produce executive-ready insights, reports, and narratives with clear implications and recommended actions.
  • Prepare materials for QBRs, MBRs, planning cycles, and leadership reviews.
  • Track strategic priorities, ensure follow-through, and drive accountability across teams.
  • Constructively challenge assumptions and elevate the quality of renewal performance discussions.
  • Who You Are

  • A renewal strategist at heart and an operator by trade—able to see both the system and the signal.
  • A critical thinker who questions norms, pressure-tests ideas, and brings fresh perspective to renewal execution.
  • Comfortable pivoting quickly while still pushing the organization forward.
  • Naturally curious about why performance behaves the way it does—and relentless about turning insight into action.
  • Passionate about renewal automation, customer experience, and commercial excellence as strategic differentiators.
  • Influential without authority and credible with senior leadership.
  • Exceptionally organized with strong judgment and executive-level communication skills.
  • AI-native—leveraging AI not only for productivity, but as a thinking partner for insight generation and experimentation.
  • Thrives in dynamic, ambiguous environments where priorities evolve and speed matters.
  • The Impact you Enable

  • A renewal engine that is predictable, scalable, insight-driven, and customer-centric.
  • Leadership equipped with clearer visibility, sharper insights, and faster, better decisions.
  • Renewal teams aligned around the right metrics, behaviors, and operating rhythms.
  • Accelerated adoption of automation and modern renewal experiences.
  • A shift from running renewals well to leading the industry in how renewal sales is designed and executed.
  • Education and Experience

  • This role typically requires a minimum of 12 years of related experience and a bachelors degree, or commensurate experience
  • Compensation :

    The target salary range for this position is 157,250 - 233,200 USD.
