Senior Marketing Ops Specialist @ Sophos | MDF and Channel Incentives

About

I’m an Senior Marketing Specialist who thrives at the intersection of partner enablement and process optimization. I work closely with channel teams to keep things running smoothly, whether it’s supporting go-to-market plans, communicating programs, refining workflows, or helping partners get the most out of our tools and systems. I collaborate across Sales, Finance, Marketing, and Compliance to track sales and pipeline activity, validate deals, and deliver insights through executive-ready reports. I also keep a close eye on vendor requirements like certifications and deal registrations, and dig into research to support QBRs and strategic presentations. I’m hands-on with dashboards, reporting automation, and forecasting using tools like Excel, Power BI, and analytics platforms to drive smarter decisions and better outcomes. Always looking for ways to improve how we work and how partners succeed. Ready to leverage alliance operations acumen and analytics to streamline revenue processes and elevate partner success!
