Your Role

As the Business Value Operations Manager at Zip, you'll sit at the intersection of operations, analytics, and go-to-market execution as we scale our business value function. You'll build the systems, tooling, and data infrastructure that enables a small team of Value Engineers to help Zip’s sales teams close transformative enterprise deals. But this role goes far beyond building ROI calculators:

• You'll shape how Business Value scales at Zip, designing the engagement model, benchmarks, and reporting the Head of Business Value and sales leadership use to run the function.

• You'll lead the AI-assisted value generation roadmap, partnering with Product, Marketing, and Sales leadership to help scale Zip’s GTM playbook.

• You’ll act as a thought partner to executives inside and outside Zip, ensuring our narrative resonates at the boardroom and C-suite level.

This is a role with C-suite visibility for someone who thrives on analytical rigor, operational excellence, and structured problem-solving at scale.

You Will

• Conduct quantitative analysis, ROI modeling, and benchmarking to define the measurable impact of Zip.

• Build and present C-suite level business cases to CFOs, CPOs, and finance leaders.

• Build self-serve tooling for our go-to-market teams, including the operational aspects that make them scalable.

• Drive internal initiatives: build scalable business value frameworks, train sales teams on value advisory, and codify best practices.

• Stand up the intake, triage, and reporting layers, including engagement-tier routing, deal triage dashboards, and KPI tracking for the Business Value function.

• Serve as a strategic advisor to our Go-to-Market, Product, and Enterprise Transformation teams.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of relevant experience in Value Engineering, Revenue Operations, Sales Operations, Strategy & Operations, or management consulting, ideally with exposure to high-growth B2B SaaS.

• Demonstrated track record of building and deploying systems and tooling: ROI calculators, dashboards, intake workflows, or playbooks that other teams actually adopted.

• Strong grounding in financial modeling, data analytics, and structured communication

• Excellent cross-functional stakeholder management across Sales, Product, Marketing, and Customer Success.

• Entrepreneurial mindset: self-driven, resourceful, and comfortable operating with a blank canvas in ambiguous environments.

• Experience building a value/business advisory function into a scalable, competitive differentiator is a plus.

• Knowledge of procurement, finance, or enterprise SaaS value drivers is a plus, but not required.

The salary range for this role is $149,940 - $220,500 OTE. The salary for this position is determined based on a variety of job-related factors that may include location, relevant experience, education, or particular skills and expertise.
